Chapter 286: Yu Ji starts the battle

On the 19th year of Qianyuan, on the first day of March, under Yuji City, Chang Yuchun led the Jinwu Guard and the Shence Guards to set up a formation on the hem of the city. There were 20,000 Yue troops stationed in Yuji City, and the commander general was Ren Long, a famous general of Yue State.

"Who are you leading the way?" Chang Yuchun glanced at the top of Yuji City and said lazily to the generals. To be honest, Chang Yuchun really doesn't have any interest in fighting a small country like Yue. The Yue army is not bad, but it was in the mountains. When it was on the plains, whether it was a tough attack or a confrontation, the Deng army could hold the Yue army to the ground to rub. The Yue country, which had been fighting for a hundred years, did not take a step beyond Kuaiji. Its combat power can be seen. However, the Yue country has a small country with few people. It can still be favored by a big country like Wu for more than two hundred years. At least, when it comes to fighting mountain wars, except for the southern country, none of the countries in the world is the opponent of Yue.

Therefore, the reason why Deng Sheng sent 200,000 people to attack a small country with only 50,000 troops this time seemed to be a big deal, but Deng Sheng didn't want to fight with Yue in the mountains, because this would only increase casualties, so he planned to concentrate his superior forces and earn his contributions to the battle to wipe out the main force of the Vietnamese army in the Shanyin area.

"I'm willing to go!" The generals responded. As for Zhang Liao and Murong Chui, they were the generals of the First Guard and the deputy generals of the army. They generally did not participate in this kind of siege.

Chang Yuchun looked around the generals, and finally fixed his eyes on a burly man with a long beard and blushed face, saying, "Guan Yu obeys the order, and you will lead the troops in the headquarters to take the lead!"

"Here!" Guan Yu responded, and casually lit up his troops and headed towards Yuji City. Deng Han and Deng Yu, who were standing beside Chang Yuchun, were ready to try when they looked at Guan Yuchun, so they looked at Chang Yuchun with anticipation, even they wanted to participate in the siege.

But how could Chang Yuchun let them go? So he said, "Two princes, the purpose of the king asking you to come is to learn the battle formation. There is no skill in siege. The two princes should stay by my general's side." Speaking of this, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but curse Yue Fei all the way. This bastard actually threw these two hot potatoes to him.

Seeing that Chang Yuchun refused, Deng Han and Deng Yu showed disappointed expressions, silently looking at Guan Yu in front of him, showing an envious expression.

Ren Long, who was on the top of Yuji, saw Deng's army approaching the city with a serious expression and said to the Vietnamese generals on both sides: "Deng's army is here, the whole army is ready!"

After hearing Ren Long's order, the Yue army began to prepare in a hurry. Although as early as the 18th year of Qianyuan, when they realized that Deng's country was coming to attack Yue, the Yue army began to make various plans for response, but when they really saw Deng's army coming, they were still scared. The name of the people and the shadow of the tree. The Deng army has been invincible in the past ten or twenty years. Except for Lu Feng who ambushed Yang Yanzhao once, the Deng army had never lost. Faced with such a strong army that was almost invincible and invincible, how could the Yue army not be afraid?

When Ren Long saw the Vietnamese army's condition, he was so angry that he said angrily: "What are you doing? Be cheer up, Deng Jun will arrive soon."

Guan Yu, who was outside the city, led his troops to the city, pointed his sword at the top of the city, and shouted: "Listen to the Yue army on the city, I am Guan Yu, the general of the Great Deng Shence Guard. Now the Great Deng Tianshang is here, quickly open the city and surrender. Otherwise, the day after the city is broken, blood will flow into a river!"

Ren Long poked his head out and said to Guan Yu below: "Guan Yu, your Deng Kingdom bullies the weak and provokes an unknown army and will be ridiculed by the world. If I were you, please take care of your feathers and retreat quickly!"

When Guan Yu heard Ren Long's words, he suddenly felt that the general of Yue State was really naive. He could even say such nonsense, so he sneered: "Hmph! In a great battle, the strong prey on the weak is the law of heaven. How can we bully the weak? Weak urinate is the original sin, so why should we be famous and unknown? You were destroyed because you are too weak and those who know each other, so you can quickly open the city and surrender. Otherwise, our army will flow into the city and make you feel uneasy!"

In a time of great struggle, all countries do everything to dominate the world. Not to mention the nameless army, even if they fight unannounced, it is commonplace. How can they be ashamed?

"Hmph! Guan Yu, you don't need to say much. Today, the Japanese general is here. If you have the ability, come to attack the city. If you want this general to open the city and surrender, you don't have to think about it!" Ren Longhan said with a face.

"If you don't want toast, you will be punished. The whole army will obey orders and start siege the city!" Seeing that Ren Long had no intention of surrendering, Guan Yu ordered the whole army to attack the city.

With Guan Yu's order, ten thousand troops rushed towards Yujicheng. Seeing this, Ren Long hurriedly commanded the army to fight. Although the Vietnamese army was a little afraid of the Deng army at first, it was a country that could fight with wild beasts. After adapting to the Deng army's offensive, the Vietnamese army gradually stabilized the situation and fought back and forth with the Deng army.

Chang Yuchun, who was in the central army, frowned immediately when he saw this. He knew that this time he underestimated the strength of the Vietnamese army. Now on the battlefield, Deng’s army was still at a disadvantage. Chang Yuchun said to Song Guang of Jinwu Guard: "General Song, the Vietnamese army is strong, you can quickly bring our troops to help the battle!"

"Here!" Song Guang responded, and then brought 10,000 people from the headquarters to the city of Yuji and said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, General Chang will come down to help you!"

"It's a good thing that General Song!" Guan Yu was arrogant, but he still respected veterans like Song Guang very much. Although Song Guang was a surrendered general of the Han Dynasty, he had made many military achievements over the years and had already fully integrated into Deng State.

After spending half a year together, Song Guang also knew some of Guan Yu's character. He knew that Guan Yu was very proud. Although he was ordered by Chang Yuchun, if he directly sent troops to attack the city before he said hello, it would definitely cause Guan Yu's dissatisfaction, so he asked, after obtaining Guan Yu's permission, Song Guang commanded the army to attack the city.

With the assistance of Song Guang's army, the first batch of Shence Guards who siege the city also felt much more relaxed and gradually began to counter-suppress the Vietnamese army. Ren Long on the city was not so beautiful, and he finally suppressed the Deng army. However, when Deng's reinforcements arrived, the situation was broken again. Ren Long had no choice but to continue to increase his troops at the city.

The war lasted for half a day. Chang Yuchun saw that the situation was too late and the soldiers who were siege were tired, so he ordered the Jin to withdraw his troops. As the sound of the Jin sounded, the Deng army soldiers on the top of the city began to retreat slowly.

In this battle, the Deng army suffered more than a thousand casualties, and the Vietnamese army had seven or eight hundred. In Chang Yuchun's opinion, the casualties were a drop in the bucket. When Deng and Han, Wu and Wei fought, there were no casualties of tens of thousands of people. What was more than a thousand people?

The Deng army felt that the casualties were indifferent, but the Yue army was different. The Yue country was small and the country had few people, and there were not many soldiers and horses. They lost nearly a thousand people in one battle, which was a huge loss. Thinking about the 50,000 Yue army entered Yuzhang, only 20,000 people came back. Almost every family in Shanyin City was filial. Besides, there were only 20,000 people in the entire Yuji City, and the casualties of seven or eight hundred every day could not withstand it.

After Chang Yuchun retreated to the camp, it was convenient for the Central Army to discuss matters. Chang Yuchun first asked Guan Yu and Song Guang, who were responsible for siege today: "General Guan, General Song, I wonder what do you think of the strength of the Vietnamese army?"

Song Guangdao: "General, although the strength of the Vietnamese army is not as strong as ours, it is also one of the few strong troops in the world. Its combat power is stronger than that of the Wu army in the past and has the advantage of the city. It is probably not that easy for our army to break through Yuji and eliminate these 20,000 Vietnamese troops."

Guan Yu, who was standing aside, nodded and said, "Yes, General Song is right. Although the last general has never experienced the battle to destroy Wu and has never fought with the Wu army, the strength of the Yue army cannot be underestimated."

Chang Yuchun nodded, sighed, and said, "Oh, it seems that I underestimated the Vietnamese army. I thought that the Vietnamese country was small and the country had few people, and its strength must be very limited. I didn't expect that it was so strong."

Zhu Sheng, a military advisor of Jinwu Guard, smiled and said, "General, Yue State can with less than 100,000 troops across the country, it must be worthy of the strong Wu for a hundred years. However, Yue State has a small country and few people, and it cannot last long. Therefore, if our army will win in this battle, please be relieved!"
