Chapter 82 - Carrying the Coffin to the Death

"Your Highness, Li Mu has led a hundred thousand troops from the west to attack our country. I wonder if you have any method. Are you fighting or fighting against Zhao?" King Xi of Yan sat on the throne and asked with his eyes blankly. Although the war was initiated by Yan, it was all forced by Qin! I want to send an envoy over there, and Zhao should be able to understand the difficulties of Yan.

Hearing what Yan Wang Xi said, the court immediately talked about it. The pro-war faction and the pro-peace ministers were discussing that they were blushing and no one allowed to let anyone else. Seeing this, Yan Dan frowned. This battle must be fought. The Qin State must be completely dragged into the battlefield of Yan State before the next plan could be carried out, the big plan that could turn the tables. If peace talks at this time, then the previous preparations would be arranged in vain, and all efforts would be wasted. This is something that Yan Dan could not accept.

At this moment, a thick voice came from the sunken court: "King, I am willing to lead the army to fight against Li Mu and take back the lost land." As this person spoke, the court suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at this person. He saw that he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, beautiful beard under his lips, and was wearing ink green clothes, looking very majestic.

"The king, I believe that war should not be opened with Zhao State at the moment, and peace should be negotiated. Many of Zhao State's good generals, Lian Po, Le Yi, Pang Xian, including Mu Huaiyuan and Li Mu, are far from comparable to our Yan State. Yan State is poor and Zhao State is scarce, and there is no need to continue to fight. Sending envoys to Handan to discuss peace is the best move." The general Yan Yi spoke.

The old man who had just spoken said angrily: "My Dayan is full of heroes. Zhao State is short of supplies and is defeated in Changping. Even if there are many good generals in Zhao State and do not have enough troops, it will be useless. How can I Dayan not fight with me? The king asked the order, and the old minister is willing to lead the army to reject Li Mu and outside the country!"

"What... how do you think about this... the prince?" Yan Wangxi looked at Yan Dan and asked. Yan Dan said, "Father, my son thought it would be possible to let Wenxiang Hou try it. My Da Yan needs a victory to prove himself and intimidate Qin. If Da Yan reconciles without fighting, not only Zhao will look down on me, but Qin will also bully me, Yan. I think my father doesn't want to see the scene in the court that day, and then it will be staged again."

Hearing this, King Xi of Yan's eyes narrowed and immediately slapped the table and said, "Zuo Zongtang obeyed the order and ordered you to lead 80,000 infantry soldiers and 20,000 hook and sickle cavalry to stop Li Mu and take back the lost land." Hearing this, Zuo Zongtang immediately knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "Your wise, the old minister will receive the order!" "Retreat!" After the King of Yan said that, he swung his sleeves and left directly.

The people in Jicheng surrounded the streets and watched the army go out. The strong Yan soldiers wearing ink blue armor were neatly arranged and walked out towards the city gate. In the middle of the team was a look at the old man. This old man was the pillar of the Yan State, Zuo Zongtang, the Marquis of Wenxiang. Zuo Zongtang was old and seriously ill, but he still decided to lead the troops in person.

In the middle of the team were eight strong men. The eight men were carrying a black coffin, which moved the people. He carried the coffin to fight. It was obvious that Zuo Zongtang had made up his mind to die. If Li Mu could not be repelled, he would die on the battlefield. Such behavior would inevitably boost the morale of the Yan army.

The debate in the court today has completely disappointed Zuo Zongtang with this country. The court officials argued with each other. Neither the pro-war faction nor the pro-people faction took the safety of the country seriously. Otherwise, how could he, a veteran, go on the battlefield and send troops to the front line? Yan State is about to perish and be saved.

Snowflakes were everywhere, and Zuo Zongtang, who was in his sixties, set off on the battle against the wind and snow.

In front of Yumen Pass, the Qin army and the Han and Wei coalition were in a stalemate. Facing the Yumen Pass like an iron barrel, even Bai Qi had no other way, so he could only attack. However, the Qin army's initial purpose was to entrust Han and Wei here. The purpose of Qin was not to Han and Wei, but to Yan and Zhao. No matter what Yan and Zhao were like, the purpose of Qin had already achieved, but... it was unknown how many people could see Qin's true intentions.

Perhaps Cheng Yu and Yelu Chucai could see it, but they had no choice. This was a naked plot, telling their lord only made them even more worried.

"Lu Bu in Jiuyuan is here, who dares to fight?" Lu Bu rode on the Red Rabbit Horse, holding the God-Ghost Fang Tian Ji in his hand. He looked majestic and imposing. Standing in front of him would help improve his morale. However, those who dared to fight Lu Bu alone have been cold for a long time.

Bai Qi frowned in the army. Lu Bu was really fierce. Even if he went out personally, he would be able to take him down. What's more, Bai Qi, as the commander of the three armies, could he go on the battlefield and act violently? For a moment, the Qin army had no choice but to take Lu Bu's tiger.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of roar from the Qin army: "Don't be arrogant without any tricks. Wang Yu is here, I'm here to get the dog's head!" A middle-aged general in golden armor held a double-edged sword and attacked Lu Bu straight towards him! Wang Yu, Bai Qi's deputy general, was promoted by Bai Qi, and was the first general under Bai Qi.

The golden sword light brushed against Lu Bu's body. Lu Bu smiled disdainfully and swung his halberd in his hand and immediately pulled Wang He and his men and horses back several times. Wang He looked shocked and felt his mouth numb, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu's strength was so great. Lu Bu was interested in seeing this man being able to take his move. He picked or slashed his halberd in his hand, and attacked Wang He like a strong wind.

Wang He obviously also had two brushes. The double-edged long sword in his hand was waving so tightly that it blocked Lu Bu's attacks. In addition to the sound of thunder, each weapon collision also brought a dazzling spark. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Bu obviously had the mentality of playing with a cat and a mouse.

Because Lu Bu held a halberd in one hand and had a relaxed expression, while Wang He held a knife in both hands and was panting. Although he had only passed a few moves, Wang He achieved his goal. He blocked Lu Bu's move again and shouted: "The whole army charges!" The Qin army behind him formed a cone formation and rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing this, Wei Wuji in the coalition ordered: "Set the tortoise, dragon and snake formation to meet the enemy!" Hearing this, the coalition began to reorganize the model, with the large shield infantry inside resisting the front, and the Qin army surrounded the Qin army from the left and right sides in an attempt to drill through the Qin army formation on the left and right sides. The Korean crossbowmen behind the shield also pulled the powerful crossbow plate machine in their hands, and the covered arrows and crossbows fell fiercely towards the Qin army like heavy rain.

The soldiers on both wings of the Qin army also raised large shields to protect the army from being attacked. At the same time, the shield soldiers raised their shields, and the other troops were half-squatting and moving forward at a rapid speed to cope with the attacks of the coalition forces' rain of arrows.
