Chapter 327: The Fall of Twin Peaks

Lin Haotian was about to lead the army to evacuate Twin Peaks, when he and his generals gathered at the General's Mansion to discuss the next tactics against the enemy.

With the loss of Twin Peaks, the next battle can only be carried out within the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and all deployments must be considered in the long run.

At this time, a Jin army guard ran from outside in a panic, and when he came to Lin Haotian, he intervened to give a salute, and then said urgently: "My lord, just now a quarrying people brought news, and a large number of enemy troops have been found in the mountain!"

"What?" Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, including Lin Haotian.

The first thing that comes to people's minds is whether this news is true or false? How is it possible that there will be enemy troops on the mountain? How did the enemy cross the mountain? Could it be that he still flew over?

Before Lin Haotian could speak, Chu Lianyu couldn't wait to ask, "What about the people who reported the news?"

"It's right outside the house!"

"Bring them in!"

"Yes!"

The guards took the order and left, and after a short time, they brought in a few young men.

Lin Haotian looked around at a few people, these young people were not very old, they were dressed ordinarily, and they seemed to have never seen the world, after coming in, some people kept looking around, and some people stood tremblingly, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"When you see your lordship, don't you kneel down quickly!" the guard whispered beside him.

Hearing that the adults were here, several young people's bodies were shocked at the same time, and they all knelt on the ground, bowed forward, and said, "The villain knocks on the adult!"

Lin Haotian didn't have time to care about etiquette anymore, so he strode up to a few people and asked, "You saw the enemy army in the mountains?"

"Yes...... Yes!" several young men had their heads on the ground, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

One of them boldly said: "The other party did not play a flag, but he was wearing a steel helmet and steel armor, and the villain suspected that it was an enemy army!"

They did not send troops up the mountain. The other party is steel armor again, it should be Yan Jun's right. Lin Haotian groaned for a while, turned his head sideways and said, "Shao Lin, send someone to investigate immediately!"

"Yes, my lord!" Shao Lin replied and walked out quickly.

Lin Haotian looked at several young people again and asked, "How many enemy troops are there?"

Several young men shook their heads in unison. A trembling voice said, "Look...... I can't see it, the number of people is too ...... There are too many, boundless, there must be more than tens of thousands, it is estimated that there must be hundreds of thousands......"

"There must be more than 100,000 people, at least hundreds of thousands! When the villain watched, he found that the mountain stream was full of enemy soldiers. ”

Lin Haotian inhaled, according to what they said, there must be a lot of enemy troops. At least there were more than 100,000 people, but with so many troops, how on earth did they climb such a steep climbing mountain? I couldn't understand what was going on, and I couldn't see the flickering expressions of the young men when they were lying. He waved to the guards on both sides and said, "Take them down to rest, and if everything is true, everyone will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Several young men who had reported the news were taken down by the guards, and as soon as they left on their front feet, the hall was in chaos. There was a lot of talk. Somewhat overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of the enemy army.

Chu Lianyu walked up to Lin Haotian and asked, "My lord." What do you think?"

"It's better to believe what they have, not to believe what they don't, if what they report is true, this enemy army is here to copy our army's rear road, and now we must immediately withdraw from Twin Peaks City!" Lin Haotian said with a solemn face.

Chu Lianyu's thoughts were the same as Lin Haotian's, and he nodded and said, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Lin Haotian originally planned to retreat after discussing the next strategy to deal with the enemy. But now it seems that there is no time.

Soon, the reports sent out by Shao Lin returned quickly, and the news brought back was the same as what the people said, and a large number of You Yan coalition troops did appear in the Shangxing Mountain, with more than 200,000 people. However, there were no large baggage in the army, and most of them went into battle lightly.

The Jin army's reconnaissance report confirmed the accuracy of the enemy's situation, and now the Jin army had two ways in front of it: one was to retreat to the hinterland and completely abandon Twin Peaks and throw it to the enemy, and the other was to stay near Twin Peaks and engage in a head-to-head confrontation with the enemy army coming over the mountain.

After discussing with the generals under his command, Lin Haotian chose the first path and completely abandoned Twin Peaks City.

Twin Peaks City has now become a place where the plague spreads, and it will definitely not be able to defend it, even if you fight hard with the enemy now, you have to retreat in the end, rather than this, it is better to throw the plague land of Twin Peaks City to the enemy army.

After setting the goal, after the Jin army withdrew from Shuangfeng City, the whole army went north and retreated in the direction of Lingcheng.

Lingcheng, the nearest big city from Shuangfeng City, is also the commercial center of Jin and Chi, in recent times, because of the alliance between Jin and Chi, the trade between Jin and Chi is fully opened, Lingcheng is developing extremely rapidly, the city is prosperous, and the caravans are endless.

The goal of the Jin army is to retreat to Lingcheng, take a temporary rest, and then fight with the You Yan coalition army.

The same goal as the Jin army was the 200,000 You army led by Nie Lin.

Nie Lin also set Lingcheng as the primary target of his attack, and it was also a springboard for the army to penetrate into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom.

You army over the mountain but lightly armed, the whole army did not carry any baggage, the biggest baggage is the necessary ladder for the siege of the city, even the soldiers brought rations are only enough for two days, if you can't capture the city, the army will have to run out of food.

The Jin army went to Lingcheng in a straight line, while the You army took a diagonal line, which was much farther than the Jin army, but their speed was much faster than that of the Jin army.

The You army is lightly armed, there is no baggage, when marching, the soldiers do not have any burden, just rush forward, and the Jin army is different, the Jin army carries a lot of baggage, and in order to avoid the people near Shuangfeng City from being killed by the enemy, they take the people to Lingcheng together, which greatly slows down the speed of the Jin army and makes its march slow.

On the other side, the main force of the You Yan coalition army had begun to launch an all-out onslaught on Twin Peaks City.

There were more than 600,000 You Yan coalition troops on the front of Twin Peaks, and 100,000 enemy troops on the back of Twin Peaks.

The ensuing battle for the defense of the city was a nightmare like hell for the defenders of Twin Peaks, who had only more than 60,000 people left, and more than half of them were incapacitated.

At the critical moment, Song Yu sent 10,000 soldiers to defend the northern city wall, and he personally led the remaining more than 20,000 soldiers to desperately resist the main force of the You Yan coalition army on the southern city wall.

Now the Youyan coalition army besieging the city is all covered with sweat towels, covering their mouths and noses, and they are also extremely fierce when they launch an attack, the attacking corps are going forward one after another, one person falls in front, and there is a group of people behind to fill in, under such an overwhelming onslaught, where can the defenders who are only more than 30,000 people still stand?

The first to be breached was the North City.

The city defense of Shuangfeng City is a typical strong in the south and weak in the north, there are almost no city defense facilities placed on the north city wall, and the city wall is also low and pitiful, although there are 10,000 Jin troops to defend it, but it really can't stop the strong attack of 100,000 You Yan coalition troops.

As the North City Gate was broken through by the enemy, a large number of You Yan coalition troops rushed into the city, and the defense line of the North City also completely collapsed, and almost none of the defenders of the 10,000 Fifth Army Corps were spared, and all of them died in battle.

The northern city was breached, and the southern city where Song Yu was located was also in turmoil, and the people's hearts were impetuous, and the 20,000 defenders were already difficult to resist the attack of more than 600,000 troops, and now they were defeated even faster.

Soon, the Jin army was taken down the city wall and retreated to the city, and the You Yan coalition army attacked the city and chased the Jin army's ass to the past.

The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, even if the combat effectiveness of the defenders of Shuangfeng City is strong, they can not stop the enemy army of more than 700,000 in front and behind with one enemy and ten, and the battle ended in the rout of the Jin army, followed by more bloody street battles.

Song Yu led a group of elite soldiers under his command to wander around the city of Shuangfeng City, rushing up to kill a small group of enemy troops, and running away when encountering a large group of enemy troops, bringing a lot of casualties to the You Yan coalition army.

However, as more and more You Yan coalition troops entered the city, Song Yu and his group had less and less room for maneuver, and in the end, the soldiers around him were left in a few hundred people, trapped in a mansion by tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Song Yuning did not surrender, defending the mansion, they only had a few hundred people, but they repelled several attacks of tens of thousands of enemy troops in a row, and finally the You Yan coalition army was also anxious, using fire attack, a fire, the house was set on fire, and Song Yu, the general of the Jin State, and all the soldiers under his command were buried in the sea of fire.
