Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 236 Two days, enough to capture Shouchun
Yuan Shao was in no mood to read any more, and said coldly:

"The truth is that one of the reasons why I came here this time is to help defend Xuzhou, and the other is to give Na Ni...Tan Er, confer a knighthood. Tan Er has made many military exploits over the years. I originally planned to make him a Marquis of Wuxiang , but now it seems that this child's character still needs to be honed!"

As he said that, Yuan Shao's tone suddenly turned cold:

"Just ask General Gao Lan to go and tell that Nizi to let him move out of camp and return to Xuzhou within [-] days. If he doesn't come within [-] days, he won't need the title of Marquis of Wuxiang!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao was worried that his tone might be a little too harsh.

After all, it is not incomprehensible for young people to be eager to build their careers, so he pondered for a while, then softened his tone and said:
"However, General Gao Lan, you also said that this training camp has some effects, so it's not as good as this. If this training camp is really effective, 3 horses may not be enough to capture Shouchun, but outside of Shouchun, it will be defeated by General Cao Thief." The three camps built by Cao Ren should be enough."

After speaking, Yuan Shao said directly:

"Just tell that Nizi, let him either send his troops back to Xuzhou obediently within [-] days, or take down those three camps for me, otherwise, he will not be spared!"

……

Three days later, two hundred miles away from Shouchun City, in front of Zhongli County!
Yuan Tan's [-] soldiers and horses suppressed the border, and he was transferred all the way from the prefect of Xuzhou to today, and he was directly reduced to Yu Jin, the general of Zhongli County.

Looking at the black enemy army under the city, I just felt that even my breathing became a little heavy.

Fortunately, Zhongli County is different from Xiapi. When it comes to the defense and solidity of the city, even Xuzhou is somewhat inferior.

After all, Zhongli County, Xiacai County, and Yicheng County, these three counties were built by Shouchun Guard General Cao Ren over the years.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a pure military barrier than Min County.

Otherwise, Yu Jin would not have the guts to defend the city to the death, with [-] defenders against Yuan Tan's [-] troops.

"Return to Xuzhou within twenty days?"

In the camp of Yuan Tan's headquarters, after listening to Gao Lan's story, Yuan Tan only found it funny.

Instead, Gao Lan said with some worry:

"Major General, the Prime Minister is really angry this time. It will be up to the general to see. How about we go back to Xuzhou first and then make preparations?"

Yuan Tan shook his head, patted Gao Lan on the shoulder and said:

"Brother Gao has been working hard all the way, let's go down and rest first. The attack on Shouchun is a strategy I have set up a long time ago. All preparations are complete. Did Brother Gao forget the power of the tiger crouching cannon?"

Hearing Yuan Tan say the word "tiger crouching cannon", Gao Lan's mind was at ease.

It is different from Huang Zhong and other generals who were transferred by Yuan Tanzheng this time.

Gao Lan is one of the few generals in the army who has truly seen the power of the tiger crouching cannon.

only……

Gao Lan hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"The general also felt that with the tiger squatting cannon in his hand, all the camps in the world were invincible, but now that the general is on the front line, he just took a look at the defense of Zhongli County. I always feel that the tiger squatting cannon is not enough. ah……"

Gao Lan's words were actually quite euphemistic.

If he spoke his heart out, it would really be scolding.

In fact, it wasn't just Gao Lan who wanted to scold his mother, but which one of the Hebei generals was leading troops to Shouchun's side right now.

After seeing Zhongli County's defenses, they all want to curse, straight mother thief!
Cao Ren made it clear that he was releasing smoke bombs to the outside world. Why did he build three camps outside Shouchun City, which were indestructible and could hold back an army of [-]!

Is that his mother's three camps?
Cao Ren basically took the east of Shouchun and Xiacai County as the starting point.

The three counties of Xiacai, Yicheng and Zhongli were built into three military fortresses!
No matter how strong an ordinary camp is, if the city is besieged for three months, the food stored in the camp will run out one day.

But the military barriers transferred from the county are different!

Not only can directly mobilize the civilian husbands in the county to defend the city.

As a subject of Cao Cao's rule for many years, Cao Ren has been farming here for an unknown number of years.

The grain reserves of the common people are quite abundant.

Not only is he not afraid of the siege, but he is a little bit eager for you to besiege the city here.

Anyway, once the siege started, the morale of the besieged side might drop quickly in the first month.

But after a month, the soldiers entered the burnout period.

The morale of the besiegers who camped in the wild, and the defenders who defended in the county without having to worry about eating and sleeping in the open air, dropped rapidly.

It will be reversed instantly!

If this time was extended a little longer, Cao Ren could directly drag down the morale of the besieging enemy army without even sending troops!

At that time, regardless of whether it is the enemy army, seeing that there is no hope of capturing the city, they withdraw their troops sadly.

He was still driven out of Shouchun City by the Shouchun defenders who had been impatient for many days.

As a result, there is only one way for Cao Shengyuan to lose!

Moreover, Gao Lan had also seen the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

Of course, that power is not the power of live ammunition, but the simple gunpowder ammunition developed by Jiang Qi.

How to say its power.

It may be more than enough to deal with a wooden and stone camp.

But to deal with a military fortress built with thick walls like Zhongli County, in a word.

It's too far!
However, Yuan Tan just smiled slightly and said:

"Brother Gao, don't worry, I've already prepared!"

Yuan Tan naturally wouldn't ignore the problems that Gao Lan could see.

However, with twenty solid bullets in hand, not to mention a mere Zhongli County in front of him.

It is the defense of Xiacai, Yicheng, and even Shouchun City itself.

In front of a tiger squatting gun loaded with solid ammunition, it is nothing but a mantis arm!

Immediately, Yuan Tan smiled and said:
"Brother Gao, if you are really worried, go to battle with me. I am preparing to lead the army and start attacking the city!"

"What? Siege?"

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Gao Lan was completely dumbfounded.

No, Major General, you have just arrived in Zhongli County. Is it really okay to start attacking the city so soon?

However, Yuan Tan didn't give Gao Lan a chance to think at all, and directly dragged Gao Lan out of the camp.

Outside, Huang Zhong and Pang De were already ready to go. After seeing Yuan Tan, they both bowed their hands slightly and got on their horses.

Each led [-] soldiers and horses towards the other two city gates in Zhongli County.

Gao Lan's heart finally sank to the bottom when he saw that the two generals were all in full outfit.

All right, he understood.

The major general of my family has started to be "reckless" again!

It's just that he really couldn't figure it out, where did Yuan Tan get the confidence to break Zhongli County?

With [-] elite soldiers approaching the city, it would not be impossible to attack the city, but that would inevitably lead to heavy losses.

You know, there are Xiacai County and Yicheng County that are not inferior to Zhongli County in terms of defense!

At that time, even if Zhongli County is captured, the Yuan Tan Headquarters, which has suffered heavy losses, may not be able to continue going south to attack Shouchun...

With this in mind, Gao Lan followed closely behind Yuan Tan.

He has made up his mind to pay attention, if the major general decides to attack the city directly.

As a lieutenant general, he should be persuaded no matter what he says!
