Chapter 318: Night Talk in the Camp

The You army pursued the enemy very hard, and chased it out of the camp two miles away, but the retreating Jin army in front suddenly stopped, turned around, and met the You army that was chasing and killing him.

The strength of the You army was not much, and the Yan army did not chase the enemy with them, and was defeated by the Jin army with a return horse and shot, and finally the general of the Yan army saw that his side had no hope of victory, so he had no choice but to give an order and retreat back to the camp.

The battle in which the 1st and 2nd armies combined to attack the enemy camp ended with the retreat of the two armies, and the scale of the battle was not large or long, but it served as a warning to the commanders of both sides.

After this battle, Ding Feng and Bi Wu had to be impressed by the Youyan coalition army, and it can be seen from the enemy's camping layout that the enemy commander had long prevented his own sneak attack, and had set up an ambush in advance.

You Yan's coalition army was also impressed by the Jin army's alertness and bravery, and was able to retreat calmly when they broke into the enemy camp and took advantage of the advantage, which was not something that ordinary commanders could do, in addition, Ling Wuya's force also cast a lingering shadow on the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the two armies, making people feel a chill in their bones.

In any case, the stealing camp of the First Legion and the Second Legion did not play a role in containing the main force of the Youyan Alliance, and the battle under the Twin Peaks continued.

From the same day to the afternoon, the second group of the siege team of the You Yan coalition army was replaced by the third group, and on the side of Shuangfeng City, the defenders who suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted were also replaced by the fifth army led by Jin Cheng.

This massive siege is evolving into a war of attrition.

The You Yan coalition army has been storming for a whole day, and the four siege teams have taken turns on the battlefield, but Shuangfeng City is still impregnable, and none of the 800,000 You Yan coalition army can successfully climb to the top of the city, and in the end, Ren Tianxing gave the order for Chu Chen. The whole army retreated, and the battle was fought another day.

After the You Yan coalition army retreated from the battlefield, and then looked at Shuangfeng City, the city wall was smashed by a heavy stone thrower, and many stone bullets had been completely embedded in the city wall, and they couldn't dig it out if they wanted to.

The upper and lower ends of the walls were covered with blood. The upper end is the blood of the soldiers of the Jin Army, the lower end is the blood of the soldiers of the You Yan Coalition Army, as for the corpses, the number is even more unclear, up and down the city wall, the ground is basically not visible, and everywhere you look, there are all horizontal and vertical and incomplete corpses.

The battle stops, next. The corpse collection teams of both sides ran to the battlefield to collect the bodies of their own personnel.

Many of the soldiers killed in the Jin army also fell outside the city, and at this time, the corpse collection teams of Jin, You, and Yan all gathered under the city, rummaging through the mountains of corpses for their comrades.

On the battlefield, the two sides fought to the death, and at this time, it was rare to stand together. Live in peace.

In the midst of so many corpses, the expressions on people's faces have long been numb. No one spoke, and the silence was terrible, except for the rustling of armor.

The sunset, dusk, crows, and corpses make up a miserable scene.

Truckloads of corpses were carried back, and the battlefield was quickly emptied until this time. The faces of the people softened a little, and the tired and sweaty soldiers sat on the ground to rest, and even chatted with each other.

The corpses of both sides were properly collected, and then, the camps of the Twin Peaks City and the Youyan coalition army burst into flames. It was the two sides burning the bodies of their fallen soldiers.

After only one day of fighting, the number of casualties on the Jin army's side exceeded 20,000, and the main casualties came from the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army, while the casualties of the You Yan coalition army were even greater, with a total of more than 70,000 people, and the death of the You army was much greater than that of the Yan army.

Twin Peaks, the camp of the Golden Army.

After dinner, Lin Haotian walked alone in the camp.

He's thinking about how he's going to fight the next battle. The heavy stone thrower of the You Yan coalition army is amazingly powerful, only one day of fighting, the walls of Twin Peaks City have been seriously damaged, if you continue to fight for many days, it is really hard to say whether the city wall will collapse, once there is a gap, so that the enemy can kill into the city at will, then the battle situation will be extremely difficult.

If you can destroy all the enemy's trebuchets, you will be able to get rid of one of the biggest threats to your side, but how can you destroy the enemy's trebuchets?

Lin Haotian thought about it and didn't come up with a way, at this time, Chu Lianyu approached from outside, and when he saw Lin Haotian, he immediately stepped forward quickly and bowed: "My lord." ”

"En!" Lin Haotian replied and asked, "Have the bodies of our soldiers been cremated?"

"Yes, my lord!" Chu Lianyu nodded, looked at Lin Haotian, saw him frowning, and said, "Just now, the last general went to the city wall and saw that General Gu was making people strengthen the city wall. ”

Lin Haotian asked, "How to reinforce?"

Chu Lianyu said: "Hold the city wall with a strong wooden stake." ”

Lin Haotian shook his head and muttered: "Treating the symptoms is not the root cause, even if you use more wooden stakes, you can't withstand the heavy blow of the enemy's stone thrower." ”

Although I don't want to admit it, it's also true. Chu Lianyu said helplessly: "It's better to do it than not to do it!"

Lin Haotian said: "Just now I was thinking about how to destroy the enemy's stone thrower. Lian Yu, you have a clever mind, help me come up with an idea. ”

"This ......"

Heavy weapons like the trebuchet are the treasures of all armies, and they are very closely guarded, and it is unlikely that there will be loopholes for the enemy to drill.

Chu Lianyu thought for a while, and Fang said with a wry smile: "If you want to rush into the enemy camp to do sabotage, there is no possibility, you can only wait until the enemy is attacking the city, then there is a glimmer of hope." ”

Lin Haotian rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you mean that when the enemy is attacking the city, our side will suddenly open the city gate, kill a group of dead soldiers, pass through the enemy army, and destroy the stone thrower?"

This method is even more impossible! When the enemy army attacks the city, the number of troops invested is 200,000, so how many dead soldiers does the enemy have to send to rush through the 200,000 enemy troops?

Chu Lianyu shook his head and said: "To destroy the enemy's stone throwing machine, naturally you can't send troops from the city, if the last general is not mistaken, there are still tens of thousands of war horses in the first legion, if the enemy army is attacking the city, our side can have more than 10,000 horsemen quietly approaching the enemy army, suddenly launch an attack, with the speed of war horses, maybe arrive before the enemy withdraws the stone thrower, and destroy it all." ”

When Lin Haotian heard this, his eyes lit up at first, but soon he shook his head again, and said quietly: "Even if tens of thousands of light horses are dispatched, the possibility of success is very small!"

Chu Lianyu did not deny that the enemy's main force was near the enemy's stone thrower, and it was even more difficult to break in, and the possibility of a successful exit was zero. This is a suicide attack that will not necessarily succeed, and it should not be done unless it is absolutely necessary.

Lin Haotian looked back, took a deep breath, and said softly: "Perhaps, Mu Wu's words are not unreasonable, our army should be ready to retreat at any time." ”

When Chu Lianyu heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he secretly sighed.

Giving up the Twin Peaks Pass and fighting on the mainland, this is indeed not what the Jin people want to see, and it will even cause national turmoil, and many towns will be destroyed, but this is better than putting all the bets on the Twin Peaks City, at least there is room for maneuver, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is unlikely that they want to defend the Twin Peaks City and refuse millions of enemy troops outside the country.

"It's a good thing that adults know how to be flexible, but Twin Peaks is the throat fortress of our country, and we must not easily cede to the enemy, and our army must not retreat until the last moment. ”

"That's right!" Lin Haotian's eyes were deep, and he slowly clenched his fists.

Opposite Twin Peaks, the camp of the Youyan coalition army, the Chinese military tent.

After watching the cremation of his own fallen soldiers, Chu Chen took the generals of the You army to the Zhongjun tent with great strides to see Ren Tianxing, and the generals of the Yan Army were also there at this time.

Chu Chen ignored the others, walked to Ren Tianxing, who was sitting in the center, and asked angrily: "Ren Shuai, in today's battle, our army will be able to attack Shuangfeng City with more efforts, why did you suddenly order a retreat?"

Fighting fiercely with superior forces for a whole day, not to mention that there was no gain, on the contrary, there were countless losses on his side, and no one had a good face, Chu Chen didn't say that he was not, but instead hit a target, and questioned Ren Tianxing first.
