Cao Meng didn't expect that his behavior of directly withdrawing to Cangshui made Qi Jun so crazy.

The Qi army in the surrounding two to three hundred miles are all rushing to the position where he appeared, it doesn't matter if they don't catch up, just keep chasing!

Not only the Qi army, but also private soldiers from some aristocratic families joined in.

They were disgraced by the Ganjun before, and now it is time to beat them into the water, and when there is grievance and vengeance, they must be indispensable!

Cao Meng found that the resistance to the westward march was increasing, and it was already becoming difficult to move an inch.

Today the Azure Dragon Army only moved westward for less than 30 miles. It would take them less than an hour for a normal march, but today they spent all their time on detours.

Two battles were also fought, the scale was not large, but the position was also exposed.

Now that more Qi troops have surrounded him, the information brought back by the scouts puts more and more pressure on Cao Meng.

"These generals are really crazy!"

"I don't even want the resident, you must come to trouble me!"

"No, you can't just bite the bullet and go west. You have to change directions."

Cao Meng's head was not made of iron, and he had to hit the south wall before turning back.

Realizing that it was not advisable to continue going west, Cao Meng quickly changed his strategy and began to search for hidden and remote paths to march.

If you have a mountain, you must march along the foot of the mountain. If you can't, you can go into the mountain and wait for rescue.

The Qinglong army began to strengthen the collection of grain and grass, buying if they could buy it, buying it if they couldn't, and grabbing what they couldn't buy by force!

By the way, he can also do justice for the sky.

But at this time, the Azure Dragon Army was not too far from the Cangshui, but it was a little far from Xiaoqingshan.

Cao Meng strengthened the collection of grain and grass in preparation for reaching the edge of Cangshui.

In case you can't return to Qianguo immediately when you reach the Cangshui, you have to be prepared to stick to the Cangshui for a period of time.

Cao Meng's situation seems dangerous, but his goal will be realized sooner or later.

At most, the price paid is different.

Wanting to return to Qianguo as quickly as possible, Cao Meng could order the Qinglong Army to accelerate towards Cangshui, breaking through the Qi army's siege all the way.

The casualties will definitely be huge, and they may be completely besieged in one place, but it is more likely that the Azure Dragon Army will successfully break through to the edge of the Cangshui.

If he wanted to reduce the casualties, Cao Meng could also order the Qinglong army to take a detour and follow the mountains to the west. The road is a bit far, but it is better to be safe.

Of course, too much time may have been wasted, and more Qi troops gathered to surround them in the mountains.

But overall it is safer to walk along the mountain.

 …

Yang Yuan knew the situation of the Qinglong Army from the report of the Military Intelligence Department, and he asked the Military Intelligence Department to send Cao Meng a new order.

"Don't rush to break out to Cangshui, approach Cangshui while preserving your vitality as much as possible, don't worry about being surrounded by the Qi army, the Habayashi Army and Xiaocai Army can support you at any time!"

This order was quickly sent to Cao Meng, and his hesitant heart immediately became firm.

"Oh! I still have to continue drilling the ravine!"

Cao Meng didn't know why the king asked him to stay in Qi for a longer period of time, but he resolutely obeyed the king's order.

The Qinglong Army changed its marching direction and accelerated its march to the southwest.

The reaction speed of the Qi army was still a bit slow. When the Qinglong army broke through the blockade to the southwest, they realized that the Qinglong army turned to the southwest again.

"Chase! No matter where they run, you must not let them go!"

"Chasing! Give me a full chase!"

"Throw away everything you can throw away, and chase the thieves at full speed. Put those bottles and cans first. As long as you can stop the thieves, I will double the supply to you!"

"Who is setting up defense in the southwest, why is it so easy for gangsters to break through? Are all his soldiers wooden?"

The generals of the Qi army had different reactions to the information that the Qinglong Army broke out to the southwest, but on the whole they insisted on continuing to pursue the Qinglong Army.

No matter where the Azure Dragon Army goes, they will chase them down!

 …

In the hinterland of Cangde County, after Cao Meng withdrew the main force of the Azure Dragon Army from Cangde City, Zhao Bo began to retreat.

The rear battalion led by Zhao Bo only has 3,000 people, too many people are inconvenient to move, too few and they are easily strangled by the Qi army.

Zhao Bo is under a lot of pressure and is in a very dangerous situation!

Cao Meng has already run to a place less than two hundred miles away from Cangshui, and Zhao Bo's department is still six hundred miles away from Cangshui.

It would take six or seven days for a normal march without the Qi army to stop them. Now they are surrounded by the Qi army, and the journey of more than 600 miles is not easy.

Especially after the Qi army found out that they might not be able to stop Cao Meng, they were likely to spread all their anger on Zhao Bo's rear camp.

Without Yang Yuan's order, Cao Meng might not have broken out to the edge of Cangshui so quickly.

Let him voluntarily give up Zhao Bo and the three thousand Qinglong soldiers, he can't do it!

After letting Zhao Bo lead the back camp, both Cao Meng and Zhao Bo were mentally prepared that the back camp might be surrounded and wiped out by the Qi army.

However, Cao Meng still hoped that Zhao Bo could bring the rear battalion to join him by the Cangshui.

As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will try it.

As soon as Cao Meng received Yang Yuan's order, he immediately changed the direction of breaking out, hoping to attract more Qi army's attention and buy more space and time for the rear battalion.

"It's only 3,000 people, the Qi army shouldn't take it too seriously!"

If the Qi army doesn't pay attention to it, the chances of the rear battalion escaping are very high.

Zhao Bo was smart enough. The Qinglong Army soldiers had strong physical strength and endurance. The team of 3,000 people was not bloated, and they were very flexible in their actions. It was just an ordinary encirclement circle, and the rear battalion had a high possibility of successfully breaking through!

However, the premise of all this is that the Qi army does not pay attention to the rear camp.

So does the Qi army attach importance to this mere 3,000 people?

Pay attention to!

Very concerned!

"Three thousand thieves can run amok in the hinterland of our Cangde County. Are you all stones? Look at the thieves stepping over you!"

"I am ashamed!"

"Ashamed! Ashamed! You will say shame~lightnovelpub.net~ If you have time to talk, why don't you think about **** this thieves!"

"Yes, I will go back immediately and lead my troops to chase and kill the gangsters. I will never return to the army until I eliminate them!"

"Me too!"

Kong Jingzhong entrusted the task of destroying the back camp of the Qinglong Army to Zhou Wei, his beloved general. Zhou Wei took his troops and horses and the surrounding 20,000 to 30,000 Qi troops to encircle and suppress the back camp for two or three days, and then he discovered a serious problem. .

They added up more than 30,000 soldiers and horses and failed to wipe out 3,000 gangsters!

I can't afford to lose that person even if I say it!

Zhou Wei was completely angry!

He would rather suspend the encirclement and suppression of the rear battalion, but call the generals of the surrounding Qi armies together for a meeting.

They need to unify their thinking in order to better destroy that slippery gangster!

Zhou Wei believes that this meeting is very necessary and very successful.

At least a few Qi generals have been inspired to feel ashamed. Only with a sense of honor and disgrace can one have combat effectiveness and unleash their potential.

After this meeting, the rear battalion, which had just had a respite, once again faced the threat of the Qi army.

And this time the pressure was even greater.

Zhou Wei's words made Qi generals understand one thing, as long as the rear battalion exists for a day, their shame will last for a day.

If they are run away by the rear battalion, this shame will stick to them for a lifetime, and all colleagues will be able to laugh at them after seeing them.

Surrounded by 30,000 and 3,000, they were still on their own territory, but in the end they let the enemy go. This battle was too revealing!

In order not to be ridiculed by their colleagues in the future, several Qi generals put tremendous pressure on their soldiers after they returned to the headquarters.

Either the thief dies, or we die!

You choose.
