Chapter 16: Ying Ziye leads Qin troops to Wuyang Pass
"Mr. Wu An is absolutely right."
"I suggest you wait and see what happens."
Chunshen Jun Zhao You had always been in the same camp with Li Mu and strongly agreed with this.
"snort!"
"What kind of land immortals are these? I think they are just a means used by the Qin State to shock people!"
"What's the use of a strong person?"
"Can you resist the overwhelming force?"
"Are you going to let Your Majesty miss this great opportunity to improve Zhao's strength?"
Guo Kai sneered at the so-called earthly immortals.
He was originally a book boy beside Prince Qian of Zhao, and climbed to the position of prime minister by means of flattery, but his talent was actually mediocre.
His greatest ability was to please King Zhao.
As a weak scholar, Guo Kai could not understand the true horror of the land immortals.
"Yes!"
"How can I miss such an opportunity to enhance Zhao's national strength?"
“Absolutely not to be missed!”
King Qian of Zhao spoke in a resolute tone, determined to intervene in the war and prepare to profit from it.
"Your Majesty, I propose that you send Generals Hu Zhe and Le Cheng to lead the troops to station at the border and wait for the right opportunity."
"While the fierce battle between Qin and Yan is in full swing, we will sit back and reap the benefits and become the ultimate winner."
Guo Kai cleverly took the opportunity to recommend his trusted generals to suppress the power of Li Mu and Lian Po.
“Great idea!”
"Send Hu Ze and Le Cheng to lead an army of 100,000 to garrison the border."
King Qian of Zhao had long been dissatisfied with Li Mu, Lian Po and other followers of Chunshen Jun Zhao You, and accepted Guo Kai's proposal without hesitation.
Ugh.
Li Mu, Lian Po, Zhao You and others sighed secretly and exchanged glances. They all saw the worry in each other's eyes.
The monarch is fond of fame and fortune, and with the instigation of villains like Guo Kai, the State of Zhao is probably in danger this time.
In front of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Yan Dan was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Seeing Guo Kai returning, he immediately stepped forward to greet him with a humble attitude.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, is there any good news?"
"Has the King of Zhao's condition improved?"
Yan Dan quietly handed Guo Kai a bag of gold and silver and asked anxiously.
However.
This time, the usually greedy Guo Kai did not accept Yan Dan's gift.
King Zhao has made his position clear today that he will never interfere in the confrontation between Qin and Yan, so he refused to meet with Yan Dan.
"Prince Dan, there is no need to waste any more time."
"I'm telling you clearly that the king will not see you. Considering that we have been getting along well these days, I will reveal one thing."
"Ying Ziye has led his army to Yingchuan County and recruited Guigu's successor Wei Zhuang and his Liusha organization."
"You should return to Yan State as soon as possible and think about how to resist the invasion of Qin State!"
Guo Kai patted Yan Dan on the shoulder and walked straight to his mansion.
“Why.”
“Why is no one willing to join forces?”
"If the country of Yan falls, how can you stay out of it?"
Yan Dan stood in front of the prime minister's residence, talking to himself in a daze, with a sad face.
"Prince, it is better to rely on yourself than on others."
"According to intelligence, the Qin army only dispatched 100,000 troops this time."
"Although the army is led by Ying Ziye, a land immortal, it is simply a pipe dream for these mere 100,000 soldiers to destroy the State of Yan."
"As long as the people of Yan are united, and with the help of Mohism, I believe we can resist Qin, and even..."
"Let these 100,000 troops stay in Yan State forever, severely damage the strength of Qin State, and make it dare not invade easily!"
Gao Jianli's words made Yan Dan's eyes shine again.
There was determination in his eyes.
"Yes."
“It is better to rely on yourself than on others.”
"The Yan State has 500,000 soldiers. Even if Ying Ziye is a god on earth, he can't destroy the Yan State with only 100,000 soldiers!"
"Set off!"
“Return to Yan State!”
Encouraged by Gao Jianli, Yan Dan regained his confidence and immediately set off for home to prepare to welcome Ying Ziye's arrival.
time flies.
Ying Ziye led 100,000 elite troops through Wei State, across Zhao State, and finally stepped into the territory of Yan State.
There were no obstacles along the way.
Both Wei and Zhao allowed Ying Ziye's army to pass smoothly.
The State of Wei was afraid of the power of the State of Qin and did not dare to act rashly; the State of Zhao was secretly looking forward to a war between Qin and Yan, hoping to profit from it.
Wuyang Pass, the gateway to the State of Yan, stands tall and majestic, its status comparable to that of Hangu Pass of the State of Qin.
Here, the State of Yan assembled an army of 300,000, stockpiled food and fodder, and prepared for a protracted war with the Qin army.
They believed that Qin's logistics would be difficult to support as it fought across two countries, and it would naturally retreat after a long time.
Boom boom boom!
Ying Ziye led 100,000 Qin troops in orderly steps and arrived at Wuyang Pass.
The solemn military appearance and shocking murderous aura made the Yan army soldiers at Wuyang Pass swallow their saliva unconsciously, with fear in their eyes and panic in their hearts.
Especially when they saw the Snow Dragon Knights in white clothes, white horses and white armor standing in the front of the army, their bodies could not help but tremble and they felt the biting cold.
The State of Yan is located in the north, and the soldiers have a high tolerance to the cold, but facing the Snow Dragon Riders, they feel colder than being in the ice and snow!
However, the one who gave them the greatest sense of oppression was not the Snow Dragon Knight, but Ying Ziye who was surrounded by them.
He sat on the white dragon and looked up at the majestic Wuyang Pass.
All the Yan army soldiers whose eyes passed by felt their heartbeats speed up and their faces turn red, as if an invisible giant hand was strangling their throats, making it difficult for them to breathe and almost suffocating!
All the Yan army soldiers at Wuyang Pass lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Ying Ziye's eyes. The overwhelming pressure made them unable to resist.
This is the majesty of the immortals on earth!
One person is enough to make all the soldiers at the pass unable to raise their heads!
"The Qin State is like a fierce tiger and a vicious wolf!"
"Their soldiers are the best in the world. Add to that the land immortal Ying Ziye, and the suffocating pressure makes it almost impossible to breathe!"
Yan Dan placed his hands on the city wall, looking at the densely packed Qin army below, his face stern and his tone full of fear.
Whether they are soldiers, generals, or commanders, they are all terribly powerful!
"Your Highness, don't worry."
"Wuyang Pass is the most important pass in Yan State, and its strength is comparable to Hangu Pass in Qin State."
"At this moment, there are 300,000 troops stationed here, with sufficient food and grass, and the help of Mohist mechanical devices."
"With just this amount of troops, the Qin army will never be able to conquer it!"
Gao Jianli seemed full of confidence.
If it was a head-on confrontation, Yan might not be able to win, but if it was just a defense, Yan, with its geographical advantage, would definitely be able to stop the Qin army's attack.
"If it were only the Qin army, Wuyang Pass would be impregnable."
"But……"
"The other side has a land immortal!"
"He is the biggest threat to Yan State!"
The six-fingered black knight stared at Ying Ziye who was surrounded by soldiers, and the arm holding Mo Mei trembled slightly, with fear and excitement.
As a top-notch warrior in the realm of heaven and man, he knew that Ying Ziye was the biggest hidden danger to the State of Yan.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight knew very well that the power of the immortals on earth was far beyond the imagination of Yan Dan and Gao Jianli!
