Chapter 76: Vicious
The Huai army was like a bamboo, and there was the help of the people of Yue, but in January, all the land of Yue except Huiji was occupied, and then the army was encircled and surrounded by Huiji, the capital of Yue.
Yuehou Yun often held out, the city of Huiji is high and deep, the grain and grass are sufficient, and there is a moat that connects many rivers, which can be said to be a rare fortified city. The last time the Huai army besieged the city, besieged the city for three months, and finally had to retreat.
Therefore, these nobles and nobles of the Yue Kingdom and the Marquis of Yue are very confident in Huiji City, and they plan to wait for help.
Not long ago, when the Huai State had not yet besieged the city, a messenger had already come to inform that the Chu State had sent troops, as long as it held out for a period of time, the Chu State army would march eastward, and when the Huai State would attack the city, they could only retreat again, and then they could take advantage of the situation to recover the lost territory.
Regarding the thoughts of the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, Wang Jin can only say that you are whimsical. At this time, you are still thinking about recovering the lost territory, so you should think about how to survive first.
For the siege of the city, Huai Guo is an expert, Zijue left a full set of siege and defense books, detailing the various tactics of the offensive and defensive sides.
If the Yue Kingdom is united and works together, such a strong city will naturally be difficult to overcome. But now the Yue Kingdom is already in internal and external troubles, and there is only one lonely city left, how can it confront the Huai State?
Wang Jin commanded the army to surround on all sides, and at the same time asked the army to build engineering equipment and prepare for the siege.
"Your Majesty, the army is attacking the city, and it is better to surround the three ques!" But the ram said.
"Haha, Ram Qing, this battle will not be united in the city, our army is attacking the city." Wang Jin said with a smile.
"But the trapped beast is still fighting!" But the ram said.
"They're not trapped beasts, they're just a bunch of insects at best!" Wang Jin sneered.
"Order the army to throw the letters into the city!"
With Wang Jin's order, the army attacked on all sides, constantly throwing arrows into the city, and wrapped a lot of silk cloth on the arrows. These silk cloths are the letters of persuasion prepared by Wang Jin.
The content of the persuasion book is very simple, Huai Guo only kills the first evil, and the rest are not corrected, and at the same time, anyone who can kill Yun Chang can worship as the secretary of Huai State.
In addition, the Huai army had not committed any crimes in the previous autumn, and the people of the Yue Kingdom who came to help had money and food gifts, and their reputation was outstanding, and this letter of persuasion soon spread among the Yue Kingdom.
The nobles of the Yue Kingdom and the Marquis of Yue Yunchang soon knew about this letter of persuasion. After reading the letter, Yuehou Yunchang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing Huaiguo's promise, Yun Chang only felt that everyone around him looked at him with greed in their eyes. Yun Chang quickly stabilized his mind, he knew that this was just an illusion, and it had to be an illusion, otherwise the city would not have to be guarded.
"Your Excellency, please send an army to collect all these letters immediately, so as not to shake the morale of the army!" The text said.
Now he is one of the first evils identified by Wang Jin as Yun Chang, and he also feels that the eyes of the people around him are full of malice.
"Yes, Yue Ning, you take someone to confiscate all the letters, and those who dare to hide them will be directly reduced to slaves!"
"All the princes must be mobilized, let them take their private soldiers and domestic slaves to defend the city, and if they retreat and flee, they will be killed immediately, and all their property will be confiscated and distributed to the brave soldiers in the city!"
"All the men were reduced to slavery, and the women were rewarded directly to the brave soldiers!"
"Gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful women and riches, these orphans can all be given to you! If you have made meritorious deeds, you are willing to worship as a superior!"
Yun Chang has been forced into a corner, and in order to defend the meeting, he immediately promised a heavy reward to everyone, in order to attract people to work for him, but this is likely to be counterproductive.
He immediately kept his most loyal soldiers by his side to protect his safety and prevent those who were about to kill him to receive his reward.
The people of Yue were also forced to participate in the defense of the city, and he also took the families of these people as hostages.
Some people in Yue Guo said in private: "Yun Chang has gone crazy, he is now forcing everyone to die for him, this is the way to take trouble, once one person dares to stand
Come out and resist, and then he will be attacked by a crowd!"
Such exchanges are everywhere among the Vietnamese people, and countless people have different thoughts in their hearts. And in this case, the Huai army began to attack the city.
The Huai army built a tall chariot, the chariot was three zhang high, the surface was nailed with wooden planks, and there was a layer of fireproof cowhide outside the wooden board, and the top was full of archers, condescending, suppressing the archers on the city wall, and there were also equally tall chariot ladders.
The morale of the defenders of the Yue Kingdom was already low, and they were forcibly persecuted, and their will to defend the city was even worse. Just the first siege of the city, the soldiers of the Huai State attacked the city, forcing the Yue State to invest in the elite to drive the Huai soldiers down.
Yun Chang's face was ugly, and the Vietnamese army was demoralized when he was defending the city today. The only thing he can trust now is Wen Ji.
"How long will it take for the army of the Chu State to arrive?" Yun Chang asked.
"It will take at least ten days!" Wen said.
"Then hold on for ten days!" Yun Chang said with a hideous face.
......
After receiving Yue Guo's request for help, Chu State didn't pay attention to it at first, after all, Chu Jun was dying, and several princes were fighting for power.
However, Xiong Yun left a back hand before and asked his henchmen to support the prince, so the winner was decided. Wait until Chu Jun ascends the throne before he pulls out his hand to send reinforcements.
It's just that by this time, it's already too late.
The Huaiguo army attacked the city for three days in a row, and the pressure given by the Huaiguo army was getting stronger and greater, and Yuehou Yunchang in these days, in order to defend the city wall, he destroyed several rich families in a row, and even the Qingshi family was also slaughtered by him.
At this time, the city of Huiji has become a powder keg, seeing this situation, Wang Jin directly sent a signal to the secret guards who were ambushed in the city, agreeing that the city would be broken today.
The Huai army dispatched, this time the offensive was particularly fierce, the soldiers of the Yue State could not resist, Yun Chang could only let the soldiers loyal to him be the supervising team, retreat and kill directly, which barely stopped the decline. But at this moment, there was a sudden cry of killing in the city.
Yun Chang looked back and suddenly felt dizzy. In order to suppress the city wall, he brought most of the soldiers loyal to him to the city wall to suppress the battle, and the people in the city took the opportunity to rebel, only to see a large number of private troops and people in the city flocking to the city. Eventually, his soldiers were either killed or fled in disarray.
Yun Chang handed over the city wall to Wen Ji, and then personally led a part of the soldiers to prepare to suppress the rebellion.
But how could Wang Jin let go of such a good opportunity, hearing the shouts of killing in the city, Wang Jin directly sent the Tengjia Army and Yulin Guard.
As the elite of the elite, the two have never been on the battlefield, in order to wait for this moment.
Under the order, thousands of elites immediately attacked, the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom were not opponents, and these elites were not opponents, and even many soldiers saw the riots in the city, and immediately took the opportunity to fight back.
Huiji City finally couldn't hold on, and no matter how hard Wen tried, he couldn't save it. More and more elites of the Huai Kingdom climbed the city wall. A large number of Vietnamese soldiers surrendered, and the entire battlefield collapsed like an avalanche.
The city is broken!
