Chapter 30 Attacking Zhao State
boom!
Everyone felt a buzzing in their heads, their faces turned pale in an instant, and horror was written on everyone's face.
after all
What they were most worried about happened.
"One hundred thousand troops!"
“Come out in full force!”
"Are they just ignoring the Yan State they just conquered?!"
King Zhao's words were full of disbelief.
With an army of 100,000 used to attack Zhao, doesn't Yan need to leave some troops behind just in case?
Aren’t you afraid that Yan State will make a comeback?
Isn't this extremely stupid!
Is Ying Ziye crazy?
He roared in his heart, his face was distorted and his thoughts were confused.
He only captured ten cities of Yan State, and replaced all of them with new masters, without taking even a grain of food with him!
however.
Just because of this, just for these ten cities, he abandoned the Yan State he had just conquered and turned to attack the Zhao State!
silence
No one spoke. All the officials of the entire Zhao State were terrified by Ying Ziye's overwhelming intimidation.
after all.
The feat of destroying the State of Yan within seven days had already spread throughout the world, and everyone knew about it.
How could the State of Zhao possibly be a match for such a terrifying figure?
even.
Many Zhao officials have begun secretly planning their escape.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Prime Minister Guo Kai stepped forward and asked with trembling lips.
Actually.
He originally planned to persuade King Qian of Zhao to surrender directly.
He was as timid as a mouse, afraid of death, and dared not face a ferocious beast like Ying Ziye.
But when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind.
As a book boy who grew up with Zhao Wangqian, Guo Kai knew his character very well.
He has great ambitions but little talent, is stubborn and has a bad temper.
If he offered to surrender, he would probably be executed immediately by the angry King Zhao.
“Where to go from here?”
"It's all thanks to the Zhao State's God of War, Wu'an Jun Li Mu!"
"If he can resist Ying Ziye's attack, Zhao will survive!"
"If he can't stop it, Zhao will perish!"
"Send the order!"
"Mobilize all the troops in the country except those guarding Handan, and send them to the border. Under the unified command of Wu'an Jun Li Mu!"
"The life and death of Zhao State depends on this battle!"
Surrender is impossible. As the king of a country, King Zhao Qian still has a bit of blood in his body.
He decided to gather the strength of the whole country and fight a desperate battle!
All hopes were placed on Li Mu, the god of war of Zhao State.
"promise"
The Zhao officials responded weakly, their voices low and full of despair.
King Qian of Zhao glanced at the listless ministers, and the helplessness and confusion in his heart surged like a tide.
Ying Ziye's existence was like a heavy mountain, pressing him so hard that he could hardly breathe.
What can he do? !
His heart was also filled with despair.
Yanzhao border.
Li Mu commanded an army of 400,000 and stationed it in Daicheng, keeping a close eye on Ying Ziye's movements.
On this day, he received a message from King Qian of Zhao.
"Alas, the thing I was most worried about finally happened!" Li Mu sighed deeply.
He had opposed King Qian of Zhao's intervention in the war between Qin and Yan at the beginning, but Guo Kai's instigation led the Zhao army to attack the State of Yan.
Today, the consequences are clear.
The Qin State found a perfect excuse to send troops.
"Lord Wu'an, is it possible that Ying Ziye really led his troops to attack our State of Zhao?" The old general Lian Po looked at Li Mu, who had a worried look on his face, with surprise written all over his face.
"That's right!"
"The king has sent news that Ying Ziye is leading an army of 100,000 and intends to invade Zhao."
Li Mu nodded and made the information public. Such a thing could not be concealed at all.
"One hundred thousand troops!?"
“Mad! Mad!”
"This Ying Ziye is a complete lunatic!"
Lian Po and other Zhao generals could not help but scream and curse.
Obviously, like King Qian of Zhao, they could not understand why Ying Ziye would come out in full force to attack the State of Zhao.
are you crazy.?
Li Mu's face was solemn, but in his heart he did not agree with everyone's views.
Based on the intelligence he collected about Ying Ziye, Li Mu believed that Ying Ziye should be a person with a calm mind, strong personality, and extraordinary wisdom.
If ordinary people can think of these things, how could Ying Ziye not think of them?
Do not!
There is no way he could not have imagined that there must be a more far-reaching plan!
As one of the four famous generals in the Warring States Period, Li Mu, the god of war of Zhao State, was not short-sighted.
He speculated that Ying Ziye had a deeper purpose, but he had no idea what it was.
After all, Li Mu's talent lies in the art of military operations, not in his insight into political situations.
"Send the order!"
"Prepare for war!"
"This battle is about the survival of Zhao. I hope you will work together to defend Zhao!"
Li Mu no longer delved into Ying Ziye's intentions.
No matter what Ying Ziye's purpose was, attacking the State of Zhao was an established fact.
What they are about to face.
It is an unprecedented powerful enemy!
It is an unprecedentedly powerful army!
"promise!!!"
Wuyang Pass.
Ying Ziye led an army of 100,000 and slowly passed through.
The sword mark left by his sword is still clearly visible. Generals such as Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and Meng Tian were still shocked when they saw it again!
For the first time, they advanced along the sword mark and conquered the State of Yan.
The second time, they gathered here again, targeting Zhao State!
Looking at the figure in the army who was surrounded by the crowd, like the moon surrounded by stars and as majestic as a god, every Qin army soldier was filled with fanatical admiration!
This line.
The State of Zhao will surely perish!
After crossing Wuyang Pass, the army entered the territory of Zhao State. The first thing that came into view was Daicheng, where Li Mu's 400,000 strong army was stationed.
There are 100,000 soldiers stationed in Langcheng and Yucheng on both sides, forming a pincer attack with Daicheng, with a total force of up to an astonishing 600,000!
This is the entire military force of the State of Zhao!
The battle against Yan State made King Qian of Zhao deeply appreciate the might of Ying Ziye and the Snow Dragon Cavalry under his command. He could only place all his hopes on this 600,000-man army and Zhao's god of war Li Mu. He had no other choice.
The sound of hooves is like thunder...
Ying Ziye led the Qin army and arrived at the foot of Dai City in neat steps. His voice was loud and clear, echoing across a hundred meters under the city wall.
"The one on the city wall is Zhao's god of war, Wu'an Jun Li Mu?!"
"I don't deserve the title of God of War. I am Li Mu!"
Li Mu responded modestly. Feeling Ying Ziye's aura that was enough to destroy everything, his expression became extremely solemn.
"This prince loves talents as much as his life!"
"It is an unstoppable trend for Qin to unify the world. If General Li Mu is willing to surrender, Ziye is willing to serve you as a general!"
Ying Ziye admired Li Mu's talents very much.
He fought against foreign tribes such as the Xiongnu, Donghu, and Dayuezhi for many years, and built a solid barrier to protect China.
If Li Mu knew the current situation, Ying Ziye would not mind having him under his command.
"Thank you for your kindness, Second Prince!"
"As a citizen of Zhao, Li Mu must be loyal to Zhao!"
"Empty words are useless!"
"If the Second Prince wants the land of Zhao, then you must step over my corpse first!"
Although Li Mu did not hold high hopes of defeating Ying Ziye, he stood firm and did not back down.
Ying Ziye was not surprised by Li Mu's rejection, he just wanted to give it a try.
