Chapter 549 Ruthless

On the bank of Yishui, the Yan army was defeated. Li Xin led his army to chase for dozens of miles, and then he stopped!

Under the pursuit of the Qin army, the two armies of the Yan Dynasty were scattered.

The main target of the Qin army was Yan Dan. Dai Wang Jia fled north, but did not attract much firepower.

In the dark night, Yan Dan leaned against a tree. By now, there were only dozens of guards following him.

Everyone is tired.

"Li Xin!"

The battle on the bank of Yishui made Yan Dan wary. The image of that tiger general still lingers in Yan Dan's heart.

The layer-by-layer formations of Yan's army were vulnerable to his impact.

According to the intelligence from the Qin State, Wang Jian and Li Xin were both generals valued by the King of Qin. Unlike Wang Jian, Li Xin is very young. If he is allowed to stand firm in the Qin army and move up step by step, he may become a serious problem for the six countries in the future.

"who?"

At the slightest movement in the forest, Yan Dan's guards, who were resting, immediately became alert.

Tian Guang came from outside the forest, accompanied by more than a dozen farm disciples, carrying dry food and water with him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing Tian Guang, Yan Dan breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Yan Dan and Tian Guang sat together, and the peasants distributed food and water to all Yan Dan's guards.

"Your Highness, please eat something first!"

Tian Guang handed over a piece of rough cake.

Li Xin chased him for dozens of miles. All day and night, Yan Dan was not exhausted. Yan Dan swallowed the whole grains with some water and felt particularly fragrant.

"Li Xin's army breaks in alone and must be captured immediately. Otherwise, Yan will be in chaos."

Yan Dan said, but Tian Guang remained silent. Yan Dan noticed Tian Guang's abnormality and slowed down his chewing speed.

"Brother Tian Guang, what's wrong?"

Tian Guang saw that Yan Dan had almost eaten, so he spoke slowly.

"While Li Xin was chasing His Highness, Wang Jian led an army, led by hundreds of elite soldiers, to break through the Great Wall pass. The army entered in one fell swoop, and the Yan army was defeated."

Upon hearing the news, Yan Dan's already pale face changed and became even worse.

"Cough...cough..."

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

Yan Dan's cultivation is profound, but after all, he has been chased for a day and a night, and he has not made any progress. Tian Guang didn't say anything at first, because he was afraid that Yan Dan couldn't bear it, so he asked him to get some food first.

Yan Dan lowered his head and coughed, raised his hand, and refused Tian Guang's hand to support him.

Yan Dan knew very well what this meant. Once the Great Wall was broken and the Qin army broke in, the Yan country would be in chaos.

"Seventy thousand Qin troops marched in a hurry. Although they broke the Great Wall, there was still room for recovery."

There are 100,000 troops on the front line of the Great Wall, most of which are centered on Wuyang, the capital of Yan State. But this is not the entire army of the Yan State. The royal army in Jicheng, the county soldiers from various places, and the border troops in Xiangping, Liaodong to defend the Hu people, are all well organized.

What's more, although the Qin army broke the Great Wall, the 100,000 Yan army was not completely wiped out. As long as they are commanded properly, the 70,000 Qin troops in Guanzhong can be eaten up and the Great Wall defense line can be repaired before the elite Qin troops in Guanzhong arrive.

Not only is this a big win, but it also boosts morale.

Yan Dan wanted to stand up, but felt a pair of warm hands on her shoulders. Tian Guang looked at him and shook his head.

"Brother Tian Guang, what are you doing?"

"Zhao Shuang led five thousand Taiyuan elite soldiers through the Hejian Land. Now they are less than a hundred miles away from Jicheng."

"What did you say?"

Yan Dan was holding a breath in his chest, as if he was about to burst out.

The three Qin armies were like a mess at this time, disrupting the land of Yan and causing a great chaos to the Yan army. Yan Dan could see the weakness of the Qin army under the front, but what about King Yan?

What will happen to him?

"Your Highness, you must prepare early. What will happen once the Yan Kingdom is destroyed?"

Tian Guang looked at Yan Dan with a deep look.

In the palace of King Yan, King Yan was furious.

Warning intelligence came from all over the Yan Kingdom, and Qin troops were everywhere.

"The Great Wall has been broken. The Qin army is everywhere in Wuyang, Fangcheng, and Zhuoxian. The scouts from the front just came to report that the Qin army is less than a hundred miles away from Jicheng. Who can tell me what happened?"

In the past few days, everything seemed to have changed. The land of Yan State was full of Qin troops. Not long ago, reports came from the front that thousands of Qin troops were approaching.

King Yan hurriedly summoned all the courtiers and wanted to find a way. What should we do next?

"Your Majesty, there are still 30,000 troops in the royal city. We should prepare our troops to resist the Qin army."

Grand Tutor Ju Wu stood up with a loud voice.

King Yan glanced at Ju Wu, and Yan Chen had already walked out.

"Now that the Great Wall has been broken, the Qin army continues to pour into Yan. On the bank of Yishui, Qin general Li Xin defeated the prince with only a few thousand horses."

As he said this, Yan Chen was a little anxious.

"Your Majesty, please seek peace! Otherwise, when the Qin army arrives, disaster is not far away."

"How to ask for peace? The prince ordered an assassin to assassinate the King of Qin. The Qin court was furious and would not give up until our clan was destroyed. Your Majesty, let's run away!"

As soon as these words came out, the main hall of Prince Yan's palace was boiling.

"Where can I run? Where can I run?"

"By the way... it's Liaodong. Liaodong is remote and dangerous, so it needs to be defended to stop the Qin army."

"It can stop it for a while, but it can't stop it for a lifetime!"

…

"enough!"

Ju Wu shouted loudly, and the veteran's eyes were filled with anger.

"The Kingdom of Yan is not dead yet!"

Nowadays, the Yan army still has hundreds of thousands of capable fighters, while the opponent only has 70,000, which is far from being exhausted. But this group of people were as afraid of Qin as a tiger and had already been frightened out of their wits.

The forward of the Qin army was still a hundred miles away from Jicheng, and there were still 30,000 troops in the royal city, but in front of a crowd, it seemed as if they were already prisoners.

Ju Wu looked at King Yan, trying to get words from him that would support his confidence. However, all he got was an extremely cold voice.

"Where is Yan Dan?"

With this sound, everyone already knew what King Yan meant. Yan Dan was the culprit in the assassination of Qin, and he had to hold him in his hands before he could advance or retreat.

"After His Highness the Prince's defeat, he assembled an army of more than ten thousand and is approaching Jidu."

King Yan's hands clenched unconsciously, and he felt wary in his heart.

"The prince is relieved of the worries of the country, and I am very relieved. The rest of you should retreat!"

The ministers retreated, and King Yan suddenly stopped Ju Wu.

Ever since King Yan asked where Yan Dan was, Ju Wu's passion had subsided and he seemed much older for a moment.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

In the empty palace, King Yan looked at Ju Wu and asked.

"Master, do you blame me for being ruthless?"

"I don't dare!"

King Yan smiled. He is a selfish person who only thinks about his own power and position. But now, King Yan asked a question softly.

"The Taifu wants me to organize the army and prepare for war, but I want to ask, can the Yan army stop Zhao Shuang?"

Ju Wu raised his head and looked at King Yan, his eyes shining with light.

"In the past, tens of thousands of Qin troops outside Xianyang could not stop him. Now it is the Yan State, can they stop him? You have to admit your defeat, otherwise others will sooner or later make you lose worse."

King Yan shook his head and sighed softly.

"I have been king for decades, and now I'm afraid it's coming to an end."
