The reason why Wu Teng was so angry was because this was clearly the territory of Gusu City.

The defenders in the city can come out at any time to relieve them.

But so far, there has been no movement at all in the city, despite them being driven away like wild dogs.

Despite orders from the top, no one is allowed to approach the city without permission.

But now, Wu Teng can no longer control so much. Will a full two thousand cavalry all die outside?

On the walls of Gusu City, the shouts shook the sky.

"Here it comes! The cavalry is back!"

"Open the city gate quickly!"

"No, no one is allowed to open it. Madam has given orders. This is Qin Feng's plan to lure the enemy. Once the city gate is lost, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Fuck you, you coward! Qin Feng didn't come at all, but he was so frightened by someone thousands of miles away. Is An a real man?!"

Curses and roars on the city wall were mixed together, making the situation more and more chaotic.

Next to the arrow stack not far from the city gate, Lin Wenwan stood there, quietly observing the situation outside the city.

She looked at the sparse cavalry, getting closer and closer to Gusu City, and her heart became heavier.

This group of light cavalry has been dispersed. If they enter the city in batches, they can open and close the city gate in a short time to prevent Qin Feng's army from sneak attacks.

But……

After receiving this batch of cavalry, what to do with the next batch?

Besides...

In the dark, I could only vaguely see the figure of the other person, but I couldn't distinguish his appearance at all.

What if enemy troops are mixed in and cause chaos when they enter the city?

Everyone in the city, including the general and below, supported opening the door and immediately accepted the cavalry back to the city.

Lin Wenwan was the only one who could withstand the pressure without any loosening. The city gate could not be opened tonight no matter what.

This light cavalry must do everything possible to hold on until dawn.

As soon as the sky breaks, Qin Feng's northern elites will have nowhere to hide!

At this moment, Wu Teng had already rushed back with more than 400 cavalry. At the same time, Beixi Qingqi and Pioneer Cavalry were maneuvering back and forth behind Wu Teng.

As soon as the city gate is opened, they will swarm up and storm the city gate.

Wu Teng kept shouting at the top of his lungs: "What are you doing standing still? Open the city gate quickly!"

"We have lived and died for Gusu City, is this how you treat us?"

"Open the door right now!"

Wu Teng's roar continued to echo above Gusu City.

The defenders guarding the city wall were already panicking. They didn't know what to do.

But at this time, Beixi Qingqi had already approached, a hundred steps away from Wu Teng, and was constantly harassing him.

One after another, Wu Teng's cavalry fell from their horses.

Seeing this situation, Wu Teng gritted his teeth and cursed loudly.

"The opponent only has a few hundred cavalry. Open the city gate quickly. Are there tens of thousands of defenders in the city, are you still afraid of these few hundred people?"

"You want to watch us being wasted?"

"What a bastard!"

All the lieutenants couldn't stand it any longer and ran to Lin Wenwan to ask for orders.

"Madam, the opponent only has a few hundred people. Even if they rush to the city gate, they will be overwhelmed by our army in the blink of an eye."

"If all of Wu Teng's troops die, the morale of the defenders will be hit immeasurably."

"If we watch them all being killed, how can there be any soldiers fighting for us?"

Of course Lin Wenwan understands this truth, but the city gate cannot be opened. These southern soldiers have no idea about the elite fighting power of Qin Feng's command.

But……

Seeing more and more lieutenants running over to ask for orders.

Lin Wenwan knew that if she insisted on going her own way, she might not be able to suppress the resentment below.

In desperation, Lin Wenwan could only risk it.

"How many heavy-armored soldiers can be gathered now?"

One of the lieutenants quickly replied: "Six hundred!"

Lin Wenwan nodded: "Well, when will these 600 heavily armored soldiers arrive at the city gate to defend it, and when will the city gate be opened?"

"In addition, continue to dispatch heavy armor and infantry to reinforce the city gate."

Seeing that Lin Wenwan finally relented, the lieutenants were relieved, and they all took the order and left.

But in their hearts, they already sneered at Lin Wenwan.

Obviously, after Lin Wenwan was driven out of Kyoto by Qin Feng, she had become so afraid of Qin Feng that she became timid before fighting.

If Lin Wenwan didn't have the entire Lin family and the Southern Realm wealthy family behind her, they would have coaxed Lin Wenwan off the city wall long ago.

But anyway...

As long as the cavalry can enter the city, it is already a high price. How can they dare to ask for more?

After the six hundred heavily armored soldiers lined up behind the city gate, the deputy general guarding the city gate no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

As the city gate slowly opened, Wu Teng, who was almost desperate, finally had his eyes shining.

"The city gate is open, come into the city quickly!"

Wu Teng's cavalry, which had long run out of ammunition and food, rushed toward the city gate.

Although the city gate was wide, it still seemed extremely narrow with hundreds of cavalry pouring in together.

And just as Wu Teng led his brothers into the city, Beixi Qingqi, who had been waiting for an opportunity, also came towards the city gate at an astonishing speed.

The defenders on the city wall had already made preparations, waiting for the Beixi Qingqi to reach the effective range of the arrows.

Densely packed arrows, like pouring rain, tilted down towards Beixi Qingqi.

Just when everyone thought that these Beixi Qingqi would be wiped out in the blink of an eye, an unexpected scene happened.

One hundred and twenty Beixi Qingqi, all of them were wearing shields.

At the same time as the rain of arrows struck, they had already raised their shields and forced their way towards the city gate.

When there were still a hundred steps away from the city gate, out of the one hundred and twenty Beixi Qingqi, only ninety were left.

When there were still fifty steps away, there were less than fifty Beixi Qingqi left.

After all, they are light cavalry. Even if they are protected by shields, they cannot withstand the lack of protection of the war horses.

These one hundred and twenty Beixi Qingqi almost relied on their bravery and sacrifice to forcefully approach the city gate.

No matter what the remaining fifty steps, we can't get any closer.

But they had no intention of approaching the city gate directly. Instead, they abandoned their horses and gathered into a group. The thirty light cavalry officers outside used their shields to resist the arrows.

The twenty light cavalry officers inside took out their fire knives as quickly as possible and lit the velvet bags they carried with them.

As a fire ignited, the soldiers took out rockets, ignited them, and shot towards the city gate.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...

Rockets kept shooting at the wooden city gate, but the city gate had been specially treated long ago, and the small flames were not easy to ignite.

At this moment, a Wu Teng cavalryman who was preparing to enter the city lifted two black cloth bags from the saddle without any warning and slammed them against the city gate.

Click!

With a terrifying crisp sound, the pottery altar inside the cloth bag shattered, kerosene spurted out, and was ignited by the rocket.

In just a moment, the raging fire engulfed the huge city gate.
