Chapter 326: Paper-cut people resolve crisis
"Why pursue the victory?"
Tang Jue couldn't help but knock the deputy general's head with his knife: "Even if they are useless, they still have so many soldiers. This move must be to lure us into a trap and take the opportunity to ambush."
These people are not stupid, and they know how to use tricks.
It's just a pity that such a simple trick can't fool him.
"That's right, I heard that Dayun sent 400,000 troops this time, but looking at the number of people just now, there are only about 50,000 at most. I'm afraid they are hiding in the dark and planning to ambush us."
Tang Jue nodded in appreciation: "You are smart."
"If they find that they can't fool us, they will come again."
"Let the soldiers go back to rest and get enough energy to fight."
The soldiers returned to the tent and couldn't help discussing what happened today.
"Speaking of which, this is our first serious battle. We thought we could have a good fight, but we didn't expect that the young generals of Dayun were so weak that we beat them away in a few seconds."
"I don't think it's that simple. They might have a backup plan."
The soldiers just lay down to rest when they heard the horn blowing.
Several young generals came back and started to curse in front of the formation again.
"I thought you rebels were so powerful. We were just testing you just now. We didn't expect you to be so weak."
"We have to be serious this time!"
The soldiers hurried out before they had a good rest.
Tang Jue noticed that the number of soldiers and horses of Dayun on the opposite side was still sparse.
Obviously, the other side came to deliberately harass them.
Sure enough, after a round of fighting, several young generals of Dayun took the opportunity to leave.
Dayun had a large number of soldiers and horses, and except for the main general, the soldiers took turns to rest, and all the soldiers were in high spirits.
On the contrary, the soldiers on their side were mentally exhausted, which was definitely very disadvantageous.
Tang Jue frowned.
He returned to the camp and discussed countermeasures with the soldiers: "These young generals would never think of such a method. I think this method was proposed by General Tang."
"The enemy bullied us so much, but we had to fight back, because we really don't know when the enemy was false and when it was real."
"In this way, our soldiers and horses are tired and their morale is greatly reduced, which may be disadvantageous to us."
Everyone was silent.
Facing Dayun's troops and horses, they had to fight, but if they fought, they would fall into the enemy's trap.
What should we do?
There was silence in the tent.
Gan Fanren, holding Gan Tian, walked in by opening the tent curtain.
After hearing about the current situation, Gan Tian yawned.
[We should ask Gongsun Yue about this, he has the most tricks.]
[He only brought a few dozen people before, but he stripped half of the Sun family army to nothing.]
[To deal with such a shameless person, we should use shameless methods. 】
When it comes to Gongsun Yue, Gan Fanren had a lot of inspiration: "This is actually simple."
"We will fight them when they come, but we can't fight in the usual way."
Gan Fanren thought of Gongsun Yue's method and said, "Why don't we follow their example and only send 10,000 soldiers to fight them, and the rest will be replaced by paper people."
"Paper man?"
"Yes, the paper man used for burial."
You just need to tie the paper man more firmly, put on a soldier's armor, and keep a distance. Who can tell the difference between a paper man and a real person?
"Tell the soldiers not to take off their armor. If they really come, we will blow the horn and reinforcements will arrive in a moment."
"In this way, our soldiers can have a good rest and will not be led by the enemy."
"This method is good, but how can we get so many paper figures in a short time?"
"I'll think of a way."
There are so many people in the city, making some paper figures is naturally not a problem, but the action must be fast.
Gan Fanren did not dare to stop for a moment and found several paper-making shops inside the pass, hoping that the bosses could take the people to make paper figures.
The owner of the paper-making shop looked gloomy: "Sir, I am willing to share my ancestral craft and teach the people how to make paper figures, but the problem is that our craft is not acquired overnight, and I am afraid that everyone cannot learn it in a short time."
[Maybe everyone cannot make paper figures, but what about scarecrows? ]
[Don't most farmers know how to make scarecrows? ]
[Paper figures in front, scarecrows in the back, as long as they can fool people, it will be fine. ]
"As many as I can make, the more the better."
Gan Fanren made a decision immediately.
He wanted to take out silver to give to the owner, but was rejected by the owner.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. I absolutely cannot accept this money."
"If it weren't for Your Majesty, my family would have starved to death. We cannot accept this money no matter what!"
"Not only are the paper figures today free, but as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the paper figures in my shop will never be free."
Gan Fanren bowed deeply to the boss and quickly went to the next shop with Gan Tian.
For a while, all the people in the interior of the country were making dummies.
Straw, paper, wood carvings...
Many opera troupes also sent their own puppets.
A large number of various dummies were sent to the front line, along with food made by the people themselves.
Looking at these things, the soldiers were full of strength.
"We must win this battle. So many people support us. How can we be worthy of them if we don't win?"
They put the more realistic dummies in the front. From a distance, it looked like the soldiers were really standing guard without rest.
Dayun's young generals couldn't help laughing.
"This rebel is really stupid. They have no way to deal with our plan. They can only stand there stupidly."
General Tang shook his head: "Young generals, don't be careless. Tang Jue is not that simple. He must have figured out our plan. I don't think he will do nothing."
"I know, I know. You said that Tang Jue was so powerful, but he was still led by us."
The young generals were really impatient and simply lifted the curtain of the tent and left.
The sound of their discussion drifted into the tent from time to time.
"That old man is so annoying. He is too old-fashioned.
It's the right time to fight a war with the old ways." "Old Tang hasn't been on the battlefield for more than 20 years. His ways are no longer effective."
"Hey, brothers, don't say such harsh words. This time, the plan was proposed by General Tang. If it weren't for him, how could we have such an easy time?"
This was repeated for three or four days.
Tang Jue finally waited for a large number of troops from Dayun.
Tang Jue stood on a high place and looked for a long time. It was so dark that he couldn't see the end.
Even if it was not all the troops, this number should not be underestimated.
"Blow the horn!"
"This time, we are going to play for real."
Tang Jue gave an order and the horn sounded.
Hearing the horn, all the soldiers rushed out.
Dayun thought that Tang Jue's troops were already exhausted, but he did not expect that Tang Jue's troops were very brave and killed them in a short time, forcing them to withdraw.
