Chapter 3 Ninety: The First Son's Bloody Battle

In the 22nd year of Qianyuan, in May, Meng Zhan, the leader of the Shangdang Qin Army, led 24 elite troops to attack Hanoi County. After hearing the news, Sima Chong, the leader of the Zhao Army who was stationed in Shangdang Tunliu City, did not choose to send troops to rescue Hanoi County. He resolutely led an army of [-] south to the eldest son city.

In the 22nd year of Qianyuan, on May 25th, Sima Chong had led 24 Zhao troops to besiege the eldest son city for three days, but they all failed under the tenacious resistance of the Zhao army. It's good, the eldest son city originally had 2 elite soldiers, but after three days of bloody battles, only a little over 1 of the 3000 people were able to stand up and continue fighting, and more than [-] people died in the battle.

"General, we can't go on like this. The Zhao army's offensive is too fierce. In three days of bloody battle, our army has wiped out nearly half of our troops. If we continue at this speed, the eldest son city will be destroyed within three days!" Li Chong said. The lieutenant general said to Li Chong that after three days of hard work, the lieutenant general's eyes were also red. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

Of course, Li Chong, as the chief general, is also having a hard time. He is in his forties and has been in the army for 20 years. Li Chong has never fought a hard battle like today. He only saw a few soldiers supporting him. The Li Chong under him is like a person who has been drained of all his strength.

Li Chong panted, and said, "Three days? No, no matter what, we have to persist for five days or even longer. According to time estimates, Taiwei Bai may have taken the entire Henan County by now, and the general believes that We are about to take Huai County, the prefecture of Hanoi, and if we persist, we will soon be able to wait for reinforcements!" Now that the entire eldest son city is surrounded by Zhao's regiments, Li Chong has no idea what Meng Zhan and Bai Qi are doing now. It can only be calculated through time.

Meng Zhan left the eldest son city on May [-]th, and it has been [-] days now. At the beginning, Meng Zhan said that he would take the entire Hanoi County within half a month. Now there are still three days before half a month. In a few days, Li Chong will be able to break out of the encirclement and evacuate the eldest son city, but Li Chong still wants to insist, because once he evacuates the eldest son city, it means that the Qin army has given up the entire Nanshang party. Li Chong wants to defend the Nanshang party, Moreover, Li Chong believes that as long as he can hold on for another five days or even longer, reinforcements from Bai Qi or Meng Zhan will arrive, and everything will be solved by then. Ma went to find Bai Qi, and told Bai Qi that he would guard the eldest son city and wait for his arrival.

"But, general, we really can't hold on any longer. If we don't break through, I'm afraid our army will be wiped out. Five days is too difficult. I hope the general thinks twice!" The Qin army lost nearly 1 people. This is only because Zhao Jun underestimated the enemy in the early stage. Now that Zhao Jun can't attack for a long time, he will inevitably become angry from embarrassment.The next offensive will definitely be more ferocious. How can Zhao Jun last for five days with only a little over [-] people?

"If you can't defend it, you have to defend it. Before the general left, I promised the general that I would definitely defend the eldest son city and wait for him to come back. Now that the news of the general's victory has not come, how can I be so easy?" How about giving up the eldest son city?" Li Chong flatly rejected the lieutenant general's proposal to break out of the encirclement.

"But..." The deputy general wanted to say something more, but was quickly interrupted by Li Chong, who said with a determined face: "There is no need to say any more, the general said five days is five days, if If you can’t keep it, follow me to die for your country. Once Zhao Jun breaks through the city, I will be the first to stand in the front. You will never survive. Go down and get ready, and prepare for Zhao Jun’s next siege at any time!”

"Here!" The deputy general couldn't hold back Li Chong, so he had no choice but to agree. In fact, the deputy general admired Li Chong very much, because this time Li Chong stayed in the eldest son city, which was an impossible task in the eyes of everyone in the Zhao army, but Li Chong insisted on blocking the 10,000+ Zhao army for three days, and repeatedly charged forward, leading the Qin army to repel the onslaught again and again, without letting Zhao army take advantage of it.

Outside the eldest son's city, in the central tent of Zhao Jun's camp, Sima Chong sat on the main seat with a very ugly face, and the generals of Zhao Jun below also looked sad.

"Boom!" Sima Chong slapped the desk with his palm, and said angrily, "Three days! It's been three days. I was blocked by the Qin army for three days. I really want to know about this Li Chong. What are you insisting on, to defend the eldest son city regardless of casualties, Qin does not have many soldiers, is it possible that Li Chong intends to bury all these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the eldest son city?"

Sima Chong was angry and puzzled, what exactly is this Li Chong insisting on? Isn't your Qin State always short of troops?Why did Li Chong dare to defend the city regardless of casualties?Are you really not afraid of burying all your soldiers and horses?

The generals of the Zhao army below also looked bitter. It has been three days, not because they didn't work hard, not because they didn't work hard, but because the Qin army fought to the death like crazy. Many times, a Qin soldier had to be taken away before he died. A Zhao Bing can even see Qin Bing covered in blood fighting Zhao Jun many times. Such a scene, even the experienced generals of the Zhao Kingdom, is horrifying. Qin Jun is too scary.

"General, according to the report from the spies, the Bai Qi army has captured the entire Henan County, and raised troops to go north to the Shangdang. They will definitely reach the eldest son city within five days, and Meng Zhan is also besieging Huai County at this time. I believe it won't take long. The city can be destroyed, and there is not much time left for our army!" Li Rengong shook his head and told Sima Chong the two bad news.

After hearing Li Rengong's words, Sima Chong slumped down on his seat. After all, he still couldn't catch up. After three days of delay in the eldest son city, Bai Qi had already arrived. Even if Sima Chong could take the eldest son city within five days, then It's just taking back one of the eldest son's cities, but the remaining Nanshangdang city can't be taken back, because after the eldest son's city is lost, Bai Qi will firmly control the remaining cities and will never Let yourself have a chance to succeed, let me ask myself that I am not sure to win even a Mengzhan, let alone Bai Qi, who is above Mengzhan in ability and reputation, even though there is a huge gap in strength, Sima Chong still has no confidence.

Since the defeat in Huishan, Sima Chong has become more and more cautious in using troops. It sounds good to be cautious, but in fact it is cowardly. Without full confidence, Sima Chong will not fight easily, because if he loses another game, then he will His future is really coming to an end. At that time, not to mention competing with Zhang Chuan and Li Rubing for the throne of the general, even the current position may not be able to be kept.

"If the order continues, I will take the eldest son city within three days. If anyone dares to stand still, I will kill him personally. In a word, within three days, I will stand on the head of the eldest son city. Are you clear?" Sima Chong also made up his mind, and his 10,000+ army went south. If he couldn't even capture the eldest son city, after returning to Jinyang, he would have no face to face others, so he directly ordered to die , Take the eldest son city within three days.

"The last general takes orders! Please rest assured, general, within three days, I will definitely go to the eldest son city!" Everyone responded with a determined face. After all, this battle of the eldest son city is destined to be a stain in their lives. If they can't win the city again , then they will never even think about raising their heads to meet people!

"Kill!" In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Jun once again launched a fierce attack on the eldest son city. For a while, the eldest son city was crumbling and might break the city at any time, but Zhao Jun still resisted tenaciously, fearless of death, and the city Above the head, more and more Zhao Jun soldiers climbed to the top of the city and started hand-to-hand combat with Qin Jun. However, Qin Jun's fearless fighting made Zhao Jun a little scared, especially Li Chong, the general of Qin Jun, took the lead in fighting. The killing instantly boosted the morale of the entire Qin army, causing the Qin army's fighting power to explode continuously, and Zhao Jun gradually lost his foothold in the city.

It was another day of bloody battle, Zhao Jun still failed to capture the city, seeing that it was getting late, and the army fought bloody for a day, Sima Chong had no choice but to withdraw his troops and fight again in the next day.

Zhao Jun retreated, and Li Chong collapsed directly on the top of the city. Zhao Jun's attack today was more ferocious than usual, and Zhao Jun almost broke the city several times. However, Li Chong was very happy, because Zhao Jun The more fiercely the army fought, it meant that Zhao Jun was in a hurry now, and there was only one reason why Sima Chong was so anxious to break through the eldest son city, that is, Bai Qi or Meng Zhan had already taken the target, and they were rushing to the rescue desperately. At this time, Li Chong couldn't be discouraged, because as long as he lasted for a few more days, the eldest son city could be defended, and he had fulfilled his promise to Meng Zhan.

In the next two days, Zhao Jun continued to intensify the attack on the eldest son city. Li Chong also led Zhao Jun to resist tenaciously, without any sign of timidity, but when the manpower was exhausted, the gap between Qin Jun and Zhao Jun was really too big Well, under the continuous hard work, the number of Qin troops who could stand up in the eldest son city was less than 3000. On the third day, although the Qin troops were still very tenacious in resisting, they were also showing signs of fatigue, which made Sima Chong see hope.

On the head of the eldest son city, Li Chong had just beheaded a Zhao Jun who was on the top of the city. Seeing more and more Zhao Jun coming up, his face turned ashen, and he murmured: "After six days of hard work, it's finally here!" It's the last moment, but it's a pity that I still can't hold it, General. I'm sorry, the last general let you down!"

When Sima Chong outside the city saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief. After fighting for so long, he finally managed to beat him down. A Qin army appeared ten miles away, and the commander's banner was "Bai"!
