Cao Meng did not personally lead the Azure Dragon Army to attack today, he had to prepare the action plan for the next few days.

This plan may not be used until ten days later, or it may be used tomorrow, so this plan cannot be done too late!

The soldiers of the Qinglong Army on the front line were busy attacking, and Cao Meng sitting in the rear was also very busy. After carefully watching and analyzing the information around Cangde City, he became more determined in his inner thoughts.

"Cangde City is not a place to stay for a long time, it's better to make early plans to retreat!"

Cao Meng put down the information in his hands and rubbed his forehead with some headaches.

"There are more than 50,000 troops around Cangde City, and they will definitely be able to reach Cangde City within three to five days."

"Damn it, Qi State is richer than Shun State, even the county has more soldiers than Shun State!"

Cao Meng picked up another piece of information from the table, "These aristocratic families in the Qi state are also troublesome. I used to think that the aristocratic families in the Shun state were rampant. I never thought that these aristocratic families in the Qi state were the real cancer. I didn't know that the king of Qi and the ministers of the state of Qi No matter what you think, you can tolerate these aristocratic families!"

But after reading more information about the Qi family, he realized that the Qi country is composed of a family.

The Qi royal family is the largest family in Qi.

The Qi kings of all dynasties did not lack wise kings, who knew the harm of the family, and would try their best to weaken the power of the family when they were in power.

But they can't do too much, in addition to weakening the family, they also have to ensure the stability of Qi.

After hundreds of years of development, Qi State has become the foundation of Qi State, and mobilizing the family is equal to mobilizing the foundation of Qi State.

Those without great perseverance, great courage, and great wisdom cannot easily reform the disadvantages of Qi!

Obviously, there has not been such an outstanding monarch among the Qi kings in recent years.

As a result, Qi's aristocratic family is still deeply rooted and growing, and Qi's influence is even more far-reaching.

Tian's rebellion is proof!

The Tian family is one of the largest aristocratic families in the south of the Qi State. If it hadn't been for an independent fief, stretches of farmland, and thousands of tenant farmers, households, and slaves, how could the Tian family have set off a crisis that almost spread to half of the Qi State? Rebellion?

Even if there is a rebellious family like Tian's, King Qi has nothing to do with other families, and has ordered to restrict the development of the family for the past two years at most.

It's hard to say that it can be limited for a few years, it depends on how far the Tian family can develop.

If he is wiped out soon, and King Qi has the courage to send his confidants who are not from the family to govern Tian's territory, and then distribute the vacant benefits after Tian's disappearance, it may be possible to limit it for a few more years.

If the royal family is strong, other aristocratic families will dormant more, and if the royal family is weak, the aristocratic families will make progress.

Seriously analyzing the various disadvantages of Qi State, it would take three years to talk about it.

Cao Meng doesn't want to spend so much time understanding Qi's shortcomings, he just needs to make a good retreat plan for the Azure Dragon Army!

The situation that the Azure Dragon Army is about to face is really not good!

Cao Meng had to make a plan first, then convince his subordinates, and finally execute it!

It doesn't sound very difficult, but everything is not that simple.

Just making a plan made Cao Meng lose hundreds of hairs!

Grab a handful!

At this time, Cao Meng is very grateful for the staff department system established by the king. If it is not for the assistance of the combat staff, he will not be able to lose thousands of hairs!

At night, the Azure Dragon Army once again withdrew to the outer city near the city wall.

There is still little progress in attacking the inner city today, and the Qi army is still firmly in control of the east and south walls.

Unless Cao Meng put all the soldiers and horses of the Qinglong Army on the city wall to launch continuous attacks, it would be possible to break all the outer city walls.

Cao Meng obviously wouldn't do that.

Yang Zhi, who attacked the inner city from the outer city, had some gains. Before last night, the Azure Dragon Army had only occupied less than a quarter of the outer city.

Today, with the efforts of Yang Zhi and the Qinglong Army soldiers, one-third of the outer city area has been occupied by the Qinglong Army, and they have obtained a lot of materials.

Yang Zhi was not greedy either, and asked the soldiers to take away all the materials they could take away as much as possible.

Don't see that the Qi army retreated decisively at night, cautiously, for fear of a surprise attack by the Qinglong army.

In fact, the pressure on the Azure Dragon Army is even greater!

Every night, Cao Meng sent out his scouts for more than a dozen miles, and kept the Qi army's raid pressure in the city, all in order to reduce the pressure on the Qinglong army and ensure that most of the Qinglong army could rest well.

The material Yang Zhiyun came back was very useful. There is an engineering battalion with considerable combat effectiveness in the Qinglong Army.

They will use these materials to build a line of defense to prevent the Qi army from attacking them at night.

The Qi army has much more troops than the Qinglong army, and it is capable of launching a sneak attack on the Qinglong army even when resisting the Qinglong army's surprise attack.

The Qi army did not launch a sneak attack in the past two nights, but it may not be the case tonight.

Two days is enough for the generals of the Qi army to regain their sanity and think about more ways to deal with the enemy.

General Qi is not the leader of the refugees, they all have their own ambitions and pursuits.

It was a great shame for them to be beaten by the Azure Dragon Army to the city of Cangde. If there was a way for them to erase this humiliation, they would definitely not let it go!

Defeating the Azure Dragon Army is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective way.

So starting tonight, the Azure Dragon Army will become more and more dangerous.

Fortunately, Cao Meng had already made arrangements. Even if the Qi army really came tonight, the Qinglong army would not be unprepared!

After Cao Meng and other generals sat down, they said: "We have achieved good results in the two days of attack, but Cangde City is still very stable in the hands of the Qi army. Say, how many days are expected to capture Cangde City?"

What he said stunned the generals of the Azure Dragon Army present for a moment, and they all personally led their troops to participate in the siege ~lightnovelpub.net~ They were very touched by the answer to this question.

Although there may be slight differences in the specific time in everyone's mind, it is generally not wrong, and it is definitely not possible within three to five days!

Thinking of this, the expressions on their faces began to change.

What does handsome mean?

Does the commander-in-chief want to withdraw his troops?

There is no fool who can do this, and he quickly guessed Cao Meng's intentions.

They are not very willing to withdraw their troops in their hearts, Cangde City!

The shame of the Qi army is their glory!

The capture of Cangde City is the battle, and their Azure Dragon Army is the biggest hero!

What about being the first to invade Qi?

How about breaking through five camps?

Is it more important to have the credit for breaking Cangde City?

They are not quite reconciled to giving up such a great contribution!

"Marshal, do you want to withdraw your troops?"

A general asked tentatively.

Cao Meng didn't hold back, and replied directly: "That's right, I plan to withdraw my troops!"

After he finished speaking, he observed several subordinates with expressions of thinking, but were they really thinking?

Cao Meng chuckled a few times, thinking or not thinking makes no difference.

All the generals recovered after hearing the laughter

Cao Shuai wants to withdraw his troops, can they still refuse?

"Marshal, when do you want to withdraw?"

Yang Zhi asked.

He is the one who most wants to stay and attack the inner city, no matter what, he wants to try it!

What if he could do it?

Even if you don't believe in yourself, you still have to believe in your fighters and what the teachers taught them!

Cao Meng looked at Yang Zhi with a serious expression, he saw Yang Zhi's thoughts, and he was willing to give him a chance, give himself a chance, and even give all the Azure Dragon Army soldiers a chance.

"Two days later!"
