Chapter 288: Deng Jun defeated Yu Ji

After a quarrel in the court of Yue Kingdom, King Yue did not get what he wanted. Moreover, Prime Minister Wen Zhong, who was once leaned on by King Yue, began to be careless. King Yue felt that the situation in Yue Kingdom was over for the first time.

Yue Kingdom is a magical country, different from the Central Plains and Hebei's small countries in the past. Although Han, Lu, Song, and Han have existed for a hundred years, due to their weak strength, they have gradually become a stage for big power games. The same is true for Zhongshan and Dai Kingdoms. However, Yue Kingdoms are different. In terms of land quality, they are not as good as Han, Song, Lu, Chen, Zhongshan and other countries. At most, they are stronger than the Dai Kingdoms in the past. However, such a small country can withstand Wu Kingdoms without any intervention, and even beat Wu Kingdoms several times and are unique in the whole world.

But unfortunately, the Yue Kingdom, like a small strong, met the rising Deng Kingdom this time. The reason why Wu Kingdom failed to invade Yue Kingdom in the past was that the infantry was too useless. On the Yangtze River, ten Yue Kingdoms were tied together and were not the opponent of Wu Kingdom. However, on land, especially in a complex terrain like Kuaiji, the Yue army could defeat the Wu army as a dog.

In the next few days, the King of Yue seemed to accept Wen Zhong's opinion, not fighting, not escaping, and watching the changes, while the Deng army outside the city did not launch an attack on Shanyin City, even if it was a tentative one, which made the rulers and ministers of Yue very puzzled.

Shanyin City was very calm, but Yuji City was fighting fiercely. Deng's army launched a continuous fierce attack on Yuji City, and Yuji City could no longer hold on. Only less than 3,000 Vietnamese troops were left to stand up and fight. The rest were either dead or lying in the wounded barracks. On the other hand, Deng's army suffered a lot of losses, especially Shence Guards, who had never experienced the baptism of war. As soon as they appeared, they participated in such a tragic offensive and defensive battle. The losses were much greater than that of Jinwu Guards. The 50,000 Shence Guards lost more than ten thousand people, while Jinwu Guards lost thousands of people.

Outside Yuji City, in the central army's tent, Chang Yuchun summoned all the generals and said, "Everyone, we have been attacking Yuji for ten days. General Yue can't wait. Just now, I received a letter from General Yue. He will come to Yuji in two days. He ordered us to take Yuji before he arrives."

"Don't worry, General, after these fierce attacks, the last general estimates that the Vietnamese army that can still be attacked in the city will definitely not exceed 3,000. As long as we do not care about the damage, we will definitely be able to take Yu Ji's tomorrow." Zhang Liao said.

Chang Yuchun nodded and said, "That's good. Tomorrow, the Jinwu Guard will be the main attack. I will no matter what method you use. Before the sunset tomorrow, I will stand at the top of Yuji City. If I can't do it, whether it is the Jinwu Guard or the Shence Guard, from the general to the tenth chief, all military laws will be dealt with!"

"Here!" the generals stood up together and said. When they said that, the generals felt a little embarrassed. Ten thousand people fought against Yuji City, but they still couldn't take it after ten days of fighting. If it was the Qin army or Zhao army, they would admit it. But the Vietnam army was just the Vietnamese army. If they fought against the Vietnam army in the mountains and could fight like this, Chang Yuchun would not only not be angry, but also very happy. However, offensive and defensive battles are Deng's specialty, and they have fought for so long. More than 20,000 casualties were also casualties. This is not right.

The next day, the Jinwu Guard General Deng Qiang personally supervised the battle. More than 40,000 Jinwu Guard soldiers were in an array under the leadership of the four generals.

Deng Qiang said to the four generals behind him: "You have heard what the general said yesterday? Remember, at all costs, take Yuji City before sunset!"

"Here!" the generals responded, and then a group of Jinwu Guards rushed towards Yuji City frantically.

Ren Long, who was on the city, couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "I'm finally here. I've been defending for ten days, but I still can't defend it. However, if you want to capture Yu Ji, you still need to pay a greater price."

After saying that, Ren Long waved his weapons and commanded the army to fight, but the Yue army stored the bows, huge rocks, rolling wood and other materials to defend the city had long been consumed, so he could only wait for Deng's army to climb to the top of the city to fight.

This time, Ren Long had no reservations. Not only did he send all three thousand people who could fight, but he also brought up all those who could stand up in the wounded barracks, making a clear attitude that if Deng's army wanted to enter Yuji City, he would kill all the Vietnamese army.

After a long battle, the Vietnamese army was defeated. With a loud bang, the Deng army's siege finally blasted open the gate of Yuji City. A large number of Deng troops rushed into the city. Seeing this, Ren Long immediately gave up the city and led troops to block the Deng army at the gate. He would not let Deng army step into Yuji City without fighting until one soldier.

The hand-to-hand combat at the gate of the city lasted for an hour, and the entire Yue army was wiped out. The chief general Ren Long was killed by the Jinwu Guard General Hu Yanzhuo. After clearing the battlefield, Deng Qiang personally welcomed Chang Yuchun into the city. Although the remaining troops of the Yue army were wiped out in this battle, the Deng army also paid a price of 4,000 people. In other words, if the number of casualties in a Yuji City was nearly 30,000, but among these 30,000 people were actually killed in battle, and the rest were injured to varying degrees, but it is unknown whether these wounded soldiers could withstand it.

Two days after Chang Yuchun captured Yuji City, Yue Fei also came to Yuji City. After seeing the number of casualties of Deng's army, Yue Fei realized how wise it was to decide to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Vietnamese army in Shanyin. In the offensive and defensive battle that the Deng army was best at, the Vietnamese army withstood the ten-day attack by only 20,000 people and defeated nearly 30,000 people of Deng's army. If these tens of thousands of Vietnamese troops were fled into the mountains, the 200,000 Deng's army might not be able to beat tens of thousands of people.

Yue Fei came to Yuji County with Chang Yuchun and others, and sat in the main seat and said, "God of all the generals, thank you for your hard work!" To be honest, in this battle, Yue Fei never intervened again except after deciding the attack strategy at the beginning. It was Chang Yuchun who was fighting with Jinwu Guard and Shence Guard.

In fact, this was also what Deng Sheng specially ordered Yue Fei. In the wars of Deng State over the years, Yue Fei was all in all, and they were even led by Yue Fei, so this caused the Deng army to rely on Yue Fei. This is a very bad phenomenon. If Deng State wants to be strong, it is not just Yue Fei, otherwise it will be like the Han State. If Zhou Shen dies, the troops will be defeated in an instant. Isn’t Cao Tian strong? No, on the contrary, Cao Tian is already a world-class commander, but once Zhou Shen dies, the belief in the Han army collapses, so what Deng Sheng has to do is let the soldiers of the Deng army know that even without Yue Fei, Deng army is still the same Deng army.

"It's natural to serve the country," everyone replied in unison.

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Now the Shenwu Guard, the Angry Guard has cut off the Vietnamese army's escape south. In order to trap in Shanyin City, 20,000 Vietnamese troops will be wiped out by the 20,000 Vietnamese troops, and it will be a dream to pacify the Yue territory within half a year. Therefore, I decided to rest for three days, and in three days, the troops will be sent to Shanyin!"

"Here!" the generals responded.

Some people may ask, it took less than half a month to destroy the Yue army. Why did it take half of the Yue army to pacify the Yue army? That's because the Yue army is not only tens of thousands of Yue army, but hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people live in the mountains and forests. After destroying the Yue Kingdom, the Deng army still needs to pacify the Shanyue people in the mountains. Otherwise, the More Thousands of Shanyue people will have no effect, and it will also restrain the Deng Kingdom's energy. Deng Sheng knew the lessons of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period in history, so Deng Sheng ordered that the problem of Yue Kingdom should be solved at one time, not only to destroy the Yue Kingdom, but also to completely clear the mountainyue people.
