Chapter 333 The Battle of the Firstborn
Chapter 332: Battle of the First Son
On October 20th, the [-]th year of Qianyuan, the Qin army broke through the Gaodu City, and the soldiers headed straight for Xuan's City. At this time, it was only five days after Baiqi sent troops from Luze City.

The Qin Army Camp in Gaodu City, where the entire Qin Army was stationed, attacked Yang'a City and Gaodu City. The Qin Army lost about 5000 people. Now the Qin Army still has 14 people.

"Everyone, our army fought very beautifully in the two battles of Yang'a and Gaodu, which far exceeded my expectations. I am very happy, but the more it gets to this time, the more we can't take it lightly. Yang'a and Gaodu The report of the fall is believed to have spread to Xuanshi City and the eldest son city. There are tens of thousands of Zhao troops stationed in the two cities of Xuanshi and the eldest son. It is estimated that these two cities can only be attacked by force. Jinyang mobilizes troops to go south, Zhao Jun will need fifteen days, so within fifteen days, our army will definitely take the eldest son city and completely occupy the southern part of Shangdang County." In the large tent of the Qin army's central army, Bai Qi told everyone Said.

The ultimate goal of this dispatch of troops is to capture the eldest son city. In the entire Shangdang County, except for the two checkpoints of Huguan and Hukouguan, only the eldest son city has the largest scale. Therefore, the task of Qin Jun is still very arduous.

On October 20, the 22th year of Qianyuan, the Qin army came to Xuan's city. After three days of strong attack, the Qin army finally broke through Xuan's city, and the remnants of Zhao army fled to the eldest son city.

On October 20, the 27th year of Qianyuan, the Qin army came to the eldest son city. At this time, the eldest son city was full of turmoil and clouds of war. The general of Zhao Jun who was in charge of guarding the eldest son city was named Li Ruhong. The eldest son city has less than [-] soldiers and horses. Facing more than [-] Qin troops, they can only choose to defend the city.

At the head of the eldest son's city, Li Ruhong looked at the densely packed Qin army camp below the city, and his mood was very complicated. He knew that this battle would be far more ominous, and if he wanted to defend against more than 1 Qin army with less than [-] soldiers, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. , not to mention that the opponent still directed the Battle of Guanzhong, and the No. [-] general of Qin State Bai Qi who destroyed the Han State made Li Ruhong even more hopeless.

But at this time, Li Ruhong didn't even think about surrendering. As a disciple of Zhao Guojiang, Li Ruhong had his own pride. Even at such a moment of life and death, he never thought about giving up. Because he knew that the mighty Zhao State would avenge him.

"I didn't expect the Qin army to be so crazy. It's unheard of to dare to send troops in the cold winter." Li Ruhong sighed. Li Ruhong was stationed in Shangdang County all the year round. Li Ruhong had already made preparations to fight the Qin army. Even though there were more than [-] Qin troops, Li Ruhong had the confidence to keep them out of Shangdang County, but the Qin army launched an offensive in the middle of winter, which was unexpected to him.

As the seat of Shangdang County, the eldest son city is rich in food, grass and military resources, but in the middle of winter, it is difficult for the soldiers to get into shape. Once the war starts, Li Ruhong does not know that he can stop the Qin army for a few days, but as As the general guarding the city, Li Ruhong still did everything possible to mobilize the resources he could mobilize to deal with the Qin army, including recruiting people to help defend the city. Shangdang County is the traditional territory of Zhao State, and the people here have a high sense of identity with Zhao State, so There is no dissatisfaction with Zhao Jun's recruitment.

After recruiting the most elite soldiers in the city, the number of soldiers and horses in the Zhao army reached [-], but nearly half of them were miscellaneous troops who had never been to the battlefield or even received any formal training.

On October 20th, the 28th year of Qianyuan, outside the eldest son city, the Qin army set up a formation, and the Zhao army was ready to fight. The battle was imminent. Bai Qi gave a month's wink to Sheritu who was next to him. Sheritu understood and nodded, and then He rode his horse out to the base of the city, and shouted to Li Ruhong on the city, "Is this General Li Ruhong on the city?" Long before sending troops, the Qin State had already known about the entire Shangdang County, including Zhao Jun's presence in Shangdang County. Who is the garrison of the party county and the general in charge of the army is very clear.

Li Ruhong heard Sheritu shouting to him, poked his head out, looked at Sheritu and said, "It's Li Ruhong, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Sheritu said: "I am the Great Qin General Sheritu. I am here to persuade the general to surrender under the order of the White Taiwei. Now our army has more than [-] troops approaching the city. The eldest son's city will be destroyed in a short time. I hope the general will have mercy. The eldest son, the common people, surrendered in Kaesong, so as not to lose their lives and make the people suffer, Taiwei Bai said, as long as General Li is willing to surrender in Kaesong, he will enjoy endless prosperity and wealth in the future!"

"Hmph!" Hearing Sheritu's words, Li Ruhong snorted coldly, and said, "Since Captain Bai is so compassionate, why not retreat back to Guanzhong and return Shangdang County to Ansheng? In the land of my Great Zhao, now that your army has come here uninvited, and even destroyed several cities in my Great Zhao, causing the Shangdang County to be in full swing. How could it be the work of a great country? If you want to surrender, don’t even think about it! Your army is going to fight without declaring it, and this behavior will definitely anger my Great Zhao Junchen, and when my Great Zhao's million-strong army marches south, your army may not be able to return to Guanzhong."

Sheritu saw that Li Ruhong was very firm, so he shook his head and said, "I am trying to persuade you with good words, but I didn't expect General Li to be so stubborn and ignorant. If so, don't blame our army for being cruel. I am afraid that on the day the city is destroyed, the soldiers under the general's command will be defeated." All lives are at risk.”

"Hmph! This general's head is here, come and get it if you have the ability!" Li Ruhong saw that Sheritu failed to lure him, so he threatened instead, and said directly to Sheritu that his head is here. Just come and get it.

Sheritu rode back to the formation. Bai Qi saw and heard the conversation between Sheritu and Li Ruhong just now, so he directly ordered: "Send the order and attack the city immediately!"

"Bai Taiwei has an order, the army will attack the city immediately!" After Bai Qi finished speaking, there were messengers spreading all over the place, and tens of thousands of elite Qin troops were divided into several teams and slowly marched towards the eldest son city. Li Ruhong was not to be outdone, either. After the Qin army entered the range of the bow and arrow, they directly ordered to release the arrows. The two sides came and went. Although the Zhao army has always been at a disadvantage, it still contained the Qin army's offensive by virtue of the advantages of the city. city.

Bai Qi also never thought that he would be able to break through the eldest son city in one day. He sent tens of thousands of horses to attack the city today just to test the strength of the Zhao army. After a day of offensive and defensive battles, Bai Qi probably understood Knowing the strength of Zhao Jun, he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The next day, the Qin army once again launched a fierce attack on the Changzi City. This time the onslaught was so fierce that Zhao Jun could hardly hold on. Fortunately, the heavy snow fell, which hindered the Qin army's offensive and forced them to retreat. Otherwise, the Changzi City would be destroyed. was breached.

The sudden heavy snow forced Qin Jun's siege plan to stop, and waited for the heavy snow to stop before attacking, which also gave Zhao Jun a little respite in the eldest son city.

"This heavy snow is estimated to last for a few days!" In the large tent of the Qin Army's Central Army, Bai Qi looked at the snow outside the tent and sighed. , in the best condition to face the main force of Zhao Jun, but a heavy snow disrupted Bai Qi's plan.

Fortunately, the heavy snowfall not only hindered the Qin army's offensive, but also the Zhao army in Jinyang would not be able to come for a while. For this battle, Qin State also prepared a large number of winter clothes and firewood with all its resources. Enough for Qin Jun to survive this severe winter.

The heavy snow fell for three days and three nights, and finally stopped. The day after the snow stopped, Qin Jun sent people to clean up the snow outside the eldest son city. It took less than [-] people to clean up the snow. It was cleaned up in half a day, and then Qin Jun immediately launched an attack. This time, Zhao Jun was no longer so lucky. At that time, Li Ruhong did not give up, and still led his troops to resist in the city, but he was outnumbered, and finally died on the battlefield. Six thousand Zhao troops and thousands of strong men were killed.

On the third day of November in the 20th year of Qianyuan, when the Qin army broke through the eldest son city, tens of thousands of elite Zhao troops also left Jinyang city and went south under the leadership of Zhao Xin, the famous general of Zhao State.
