Chapter 57 The true power of the Datong Army!

How do you hide an army of tens of thousands?

Before that powerful army, no one had been able to become completely invisible, but Ji Hao happened to be a modern man who inherited the characteristics of that powerful army and used it to create the "Datong Army."

The real power of the Datong Army lies not in frontal combat, but in its unparalleled mobility.

You can advance for a long expedition or retreat into the mountains.

Born in poverty, he was not afraid of hardship and was good at dragging the enemy troops with better conditions into the same difficult environment as his own, and then relying on his rich experience to defeat the enemy.

Another one is to “go among the masses.”

This walking in is not just about attitude, but also about a hidden way: completely integrating into the grassroots people, no longer being able to distinguish between them, then naturally disappearing into thin air and not being found.

In the previous life, a certain Japanese soldier, whose average height was less than 1.6 meters, suffered this hardship.

And now, Ji Hao used this trick on Liu Bei: The Datong Army had indeed disappeared, and it had disappeared several months ago. The only one who had been maintaining the operation of the counties was Mr. Datong, who was Wang Lang's advisor.

As for Zhao Yun, he led the Datong army and once again walked among the people.

Help with land reclamation, farming, and organizing local militia to suppress bandits.

Punish the wicked and eliminate evil.

In short, the 10,000-strong army had been completely disbanded, and using the strategy of surrounding the cities from the countryside, they had been integrated into areas that the various princes would not look upon with respect.

A team of dozens of people can form a team of hundreds or thousands of people.

If they don't gather, it's fine. But once they gather, they will be ambushed on all sides and attacked from all sides. It's a magnificent situation that cannot be described by the might of heaven. It's a crushing crushing at the level of "man conquers nature"!

This is the Datong Army!

This is the "Great Harmony"!
"Liu Bei has now taken back all the counties. In their opinion, he has already recaptured Guangling, but in fact, except for the small area of ​​the county town, all the surrounding pavilions and villages are ours!" Wang Er said to Zhao Yun, "We can gather together and launch a general attack as soon as the general gives the order!"

Zhao Yun nodded in response.

But then he said: "The war cannot be limited to one city or one place. Don't be anxious. Wait for the signal. The day when we launch a general offensive to liberate Xuzhou is not far away!"

Although Wang Er was puzzled by this, he did not ask any further questions.

Cao Cao's attack on Xia Pi was top secret, and only the commander-in-chief of the Datong army, Zhao Yun, knew about it.

Even the "Mr. Datong" in Xia Pi area had to be contacted by Cao Cao.

They themselves would not know that Cao Cao went to Xia Pi.

As for Ji Hao, although he could go ashore at any time, he would not do so and was also waiting for Cao Cao's signal.

"So what should we do now?" Wang Er asked.

"Continue to build the city wall!" Zhao Yun smiled and said, "While they are not paying attention, we can build it quietly at night. Anyway, the planned foundation is in the wilderness, and Liu Bei will not be able to think of defending it for a while!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Er laughed immediately.

He said: "They would never have thought that the city wall is hollow, and people and tools can be hidden inside, and there are even tunnels, which can be entered and exited at will. It is impossible to defend it!"

On the other hand, after Liu Bei regained Guangling County, he felt like he had regained loneliness.

The enemy disappeared out of thin air and Jianghai City could not be reached.

Ji Hao did not attack either.

Everything was calm, as if everything here was just a diversion.

"Could it be that they are just making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and their main force actually wants to attack Xia Pi?" After thinking for a long time, Jia Xu told Liu Bei about this possibility.

It has to be said that he was indeed the top strategist of this era who guessed Ji Hao's strategy.

Fortunately, Ji Hao did not rely on his photographic memory to compete with the top strategists. Otherwise, even with Guo Jia in hand, he might suffer a great loss if he was not careful.

"It's not impossible." Liu Bei said.

But I still wonder: "But they spent a huge amount of money to build 'Jianghai City', laying the foundation at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the city is ten feet high, and the dock is built to a standard no less than Chengtian Ferry. Will they give up Guangling so easily?"

He couldn't figure out what Ji Hao was planning until he slowly discovered a strange phenomenon: about half a month later, the Guangling County Great Wall, which had only been built two-thirds of the way, had actually grown a lot longer, becoming more than three-quarters.

After a few more days, it became four-fifths.

The distance to the connection seems not too far.

For a time, rumors spread among the people, saying that Ji Hao was a descendant of the Queen of Humanity, and that immortal soldiers had come down to earth to help him build the Great Wall, which grew a section every night.

Naturally, Liu Bei didn't believe this.

"I understand. They didn't evacuate, but hid themselves and repaired the city wall every night. Now they have built the official road leading to Xia Pi!"

Yuan Shu, who thought he had seen through the other party's intentions, suddenly felt that Qingzhou was full of rats.

They dare not act openly at all.

"Sun Ce, you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to ambush ten miles inside the foundation of the city wall. Get your bows and arrows ready. Catch the turtle in the jar tonight!" Yuan Shu said.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce immediately went to mobilize the troops.

Go ahead and ambush.

Liu Bei and Lu Bu were also not idle. They were lying in ambush in various directions, waiting for the other side to appear.

However, after feeding mosquitoes for a whole night, the enemy did not appear. On the second day, they still did not see any. Until the third day, there was not even a ghost.

But the county wall was extended by another section.

Ninety percent of the construction has been completed and it is about to be connected into one section and completed.

"Could it be that there really is help from gods?" Lu Bu was shocked.

But Liu Bei firmly refused to believe it, and led his men closer to the ambush, waiting to observe the situation at night - this decision was correct, because that night, when Wang Er and others came to repair the city wall again, more than a dozen of them were caught as soon as they showed up.

Although Wang Er himself was cautious and was not caught, he still exposed a lot of things.

For example, the cement production line near Liyueting!

"Cement?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "In the struggle for the world, we don't care about a city or a piece of land. If we can get the method of making cement, even if Guangling County is lost, we will still win a great victory!"

Not to mention Guangling, even if the entire Xuzhou was lost, it would be worth it!

He was beaten so badly by the cement!
"Assemble the troops!" Yuan Shu also said, "We must get the cement!"

……

At the same time, on the other side, Wang Er was reporting to Zhao Yun.

"We were very cautious and went out to investigate before we started working. But we didn't expect that Liu Bei would bring Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him and lie in ambush on the city wall. After seeing the people, they used ropes to come down and captured more than a dozen laborers on the spot."

Speaking of this, he felt somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei was impatient and came down quickly, otherwise if he had waited until the main force left before taking action, Wang Er would have been in trouble.

Who would have thought of the top of the city wall?
"You underestimate them. Although most of the Han royal family are good-for-nothings, King Liu Bei is an exception!" Zhao Yun said, "Immediately destroy the cement production line and lead the workers of the cement factory to evacuate!"

"it is good!"

Wang Er did as he was told.

But both he and Zhao Yun underestimated Liu Bei's reaction speed and the attraction of cement to Liu Bei - just the next day, Liu Bei led his army in person.

Three hundred thousand troops were fully mobilized. It was obvious that they would rather fight a decisive battle than not take down the cement factory!
They even surrounded the entire Li Yue Pavilion.

No matter who they are, they will be arrested without mercy!
"We have to send some people to intercept them! Although I have dug tunnels in every village, we can hide and evacuate quietly in half an hour at most. But Liu Bei's vanguard is rushing here at full speed. It only takes an incense stick of time from the time we see them from afar to the time they enter the mountain!"

Wang Er's words made Zhao Yun's face change.

He stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the mountain road, and then looked in the direction of the village.

Finally, he said, "It is definitely too late for the army to gather. With only a few people from Li Yueting, it is like hitting a rock with an egg if we want to intercept them. You all withdraw, and I will cover your retreat. I will buy you half an hour!"
