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

Chapter 246 The Great War Is About to Begin, Use Good Steel on the Blade
Seeing Li Dian and Le Jin's nervous appearance, Yuan Tan only felt a little funny, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said in relief:

"You two, don't worry, I'm not under the account of Cao thief, it should be the credit of the two of you, and you are indispensable."

After speaking, Yuan Tan thought for a while, clapped his hands and said:

"The detailed credits will be counted after we captured Shouchun. However, General Li Dian and General Le Jin teamed up to ambush Xiahouyuan, not to mention the success, but also beheaded Xiahou, which greatly frustrated Cao Ying's morale."

Yuan Tan counted the current vacant positions in the Xuzhou Army in his mind, and said in a deep voice:
"If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. Let General Li Dian be named General Zhonglang and Xiacai County Magistrate. If General Le Jin has made meritorious deeds in beheading Xia Houyuan, then he will be named General Pi!"

General Pi is considered to be a higher official position than General Zhonglang.

But whether it is General Pi or General Zhonglang, they are much higher than the two captains Li Dian and Le Jin who don't even have a nickname.

Hearing Yuan Tan's words at this moment, Li Dian and Le Jin looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in their friends' eyes.

Before, they asked themselves to cut down some soldiers and horses, and even brought their own official positions down.

The original intention was to show loyalty to Yuan Tan and also to reassure Yuan Tan.

After all, if the soldiers are small and the officials are small, even if they want to betray, the impact will be much smaller.

However, Yuan Tan made up for the difference in troop strength at that time.

As for the official position, Li Dian and Le Jin originally thought it was Yuan Tan, no matter how bold and generous he was.

It is not bad to be able to restore their officials to their original posts after the destruction of Cao Cao.

But I didn't expect that they would be given directly to the two of them now, not to mention the official reinstatement, even worse than the previous official position.

Want to be higher?
Although Li Dian was also a general in Cao Ying before Li Dian.

But at that time, he didn't have the civil post of Cai county magistrate.

You know, the order of a county, in this era, is the existence of Bailihou who is seized by the real military regime!
When it comes to authority, it is even greater than that of Le Jin's current General Pi!
Fortunately, Le Jin and Li Dian also know that now is not the time to think wildly.

Immediately, the second general cupped his fists, bowed to Yuan Tan, and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, Major General! I will never dare to live up to the great trust of the Major General!"

Looking at the second general whose fighting spirit was aroused again, Yuan Tan nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay! Now that Xia Houyuan has been beheaded, Cao Ren is the only one who needs a headache in Shouchun City today. Our army doesn't need to slow down anymore, pass on orders!"

While talking, Yuan Tan took the lead in riding on the black-headed horse, and shook the reins:
"Let all the ministries follow me closely, and rush to the city of Shouchun before dawn!"

……

The wall of Shouchun City.

Cao Ren led the generals to stand on the top of the wall, looking at the tens of thousands of troops holding Yuan's flags.

For a while, even if he was as calm and calm as Cao Ren, he couldn't even speak.

"Forty thousand soldiers...there are only [-] soldiers in the city, general, how should we deal with the enemy..."

The generals in Cao's camp on the city wall looked at Yuan Tan's army, and their voices began to tremble as they spoke.

And their shock and fear, invisibly, added to Yuan Tan's experience points.

"General Cao Ying is afraid of your army, experience value +199——"

"General Cao Ying is afraid of your army, experience value +199—"

"General C of Cao Ying is afraid of your army, experience value +199—"

"..."

Listening to the continuous system prompts in his ears, Yuan Tan moved his eyes sideways to the wall of Shouchun City, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

"Major General, do you want to use the tiger squat gun as soon as you come up?"

After Jiang Qi made the tiger squatting cannon, according to Yuan Tan's instructions, he built [-] carts specially made for the tiger squatting cannon.

With these twenty carts, although the Tiger Crouching Cannon is rather bulky, it can still follow the team in time and carry out transfers.

Although the transfer speed, to be honest, it is still not as fast as the marching speed of the regular army.

But on Yuan Tan's side, after setting up camp and other work, the twenty tiger squatting cannons were finally transported to Shouchun City.

As soon as the twenty tiger squat guns arrived, Gao Lan couldn't help but come to the door.

However, Yuan Tan's answer made Gao Lan somewhat incomprehensible:

"Want to wait for a while? Use soldiers from various ministries to attack the city in these three days?"

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Gao Lan couldn't help but exclaimed, and looked at Yuan Tan with puzzled eyes.

After all, in Gao Lan's view, the magic weapon of the tiger crouching cannon is to be effective when attacking the city.

However, only Yuan Tan himself knows that the current effect of the tiger squatting cannon can be compared with the real tiger squatting cannon in the official history.

How huge is the gap.

At present, the tiger squat gun assembled with simple ammunition, let alone cause effective damage to the city wall.

Even the effective damage to the enemy soldiers defending on the top of the city is quite limited.

Although using the tiger squat cannon as soon as it comes up, it can have a surprising effect.

With simple ammunition, although it cannot directly break through the city, it can be used as an auxiliary weapon.

It played a great auxiliary role when soldiers climbed to attack the city.

But the problem is... Yuan Tan spent so much effort to come up with a tiger crouching cannon, is it just to make an auxiliary equipment for siege?

The answer is of course no.

Yuan Tan tapped lightly on the table in front of him, on which was a huge map.

This afternoon, after arriving at the city of Shouchun, after delivering the order to set up camp, Yuan Tan rode directly on the black horse.

I made a big circle around Shouchun City.

With the binoculars in hand, Yuan Tan still has no idea what is going on behind the city wall.

However, Yuan Tan was already familiar with the defensive points Cao Ren had arranged on the top of the four walls, and they were all drawn on this map.

Yuan Tan clicked on the map in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
"Tiger crouching cannon, I have another wonderful use. If I use it well, I might be able to break through this city within three days."

"Huh? Major General, are you joking?"

Now, Gao Lan was completely speechless.

According to Gao Lan's deduction, even with the assistance of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, it would be an impossible task to capture Shouchun City without ten days and half a month's effort.

No, even ten days and a half months is a bit overestimating the combat power of his side.

If it is safer, Gao Lan feels that it is a relatively safe time to successfully break through the walls of Shouchun City within one month.

But now?
Looking at the bewildered Gao Lan, Yuan Tan smiled slightly, but didn't explain much, just patted Gao Lan on the shoulder.

Then he continued to cast his gaze on the map in front of him.
