After fighting all night, Wu Teng's cavalry had already fallen apart and dispersed and regrouped several times.
Coupled with the fact that everyone was in the dark, no one noticed that Beixi Qingqi had already sneaked into the team.
The "spy" is located under the city gate. It is naturally impossible to detect it at such a close distance.
Even the "spy" was killed by the angry cavalry around him in the blink of an eye and died heroically.
However, the raging fire has already started.
The already crowded city gate suddenly became chaotic.
The deputy general standing on the city wall witnessed with his own eyes how brave Beixi Qingqi was without fear of death and forcibly approached the city gate.
And how the city gate was made a mess.
At this moment, they finally understood that all of Mrs. Lin's judgments were absolutely correct.
It's a pity, what's the use of recognizing Mrs. Lin's ability now?
"Quick! Close the city gate!"
"Enter one by one, no crowding allowed!"
Although the lieutenant shouted at the top of his lungs, it was a pity that the chaotic city gate could not be restored to order.
The morale of Wu Teng's cavalry had already collapsed.
They were chased by Sun Bo Cavalry and Beixi Qingqi for most of the night, and they were exhausted both physically and mentally.
And after a bloody battle, he was almost abandoned by his own people.
Not only do they have no fighting spirit, but they are also disheartened. Now they just want to escape into the city as soon as possible.
Anyway, there are not many enemy troops, and there are tens of thousands of defenders in the city. Even if there is a fight, the enemy will never be able to enter the city.
In order to enter the city as quickly as possible, they even began to abandon their horses and crawl in on foot.
The horses without their cavalry were like headless flies, all crowded at the city gate.
The defenders in the city wanted to close the door, but unfortunately, not only were the chaotic cavalry blocking their way, but the door was also engulfed in flames.
Although the city gate is very thick and covered with iron sheets, as long as the gate can be closed, the fire can still be extinguished and remedied.
It's a pity that they are so close to the city gate, but so far away.
The mission of Beixi Qingqi has been completed. After paying the price of dozens of lives, they evacuated the battlefield as soon as possible.
At the same time, Sun Bo's cavalry also arrived and directly attacked the city gate.
The defenders on the city wall had no choice but to shoot arrows downwards or hit them with stones regardless of the enemy.
Although Sun Bo's cavalry could not attack the city, they could use their crowded horses to forcibly prevent the defenders from retaking the city gate.
The casualties are growing.
When the news came back to the Pioneer Camp, Sun Bo was trembling with excitement.
He avenged his shame, and the chance to make a comeback finally came!
"Send my order and the whole army will attack!"
The vanguard army, which had barely regained its strength, once again surged towards Gusu City.
After receiving the news, Zhao Zhenhai had just connected with the heavy supply camp and had not had time to celebrate the New Year. He hurriedly put on his armor again, led his 800 light cavalry, rushed out of the hiding place, and rushed towards Gusu City.
The Beixi Qingqi, who were scattered around Gusu City in units of hundreds, also gathered together with a clear goal to take Gusu City directly.
When Sun Bo's army arrived at Gusu City.
The vanguard cavalry had been almost defeated, but the city gate was still wide open.
Just because there were a large number of corpses, as well as various stones and wood piled up around the city gate.
Even if the flames on the city gate have been extinguished, the defenders can no longer close the city gate easily.
"Seize the city gate!"
Sun Bo roared, raised his arms, and ordered the entire army to attack and seize the Gusu City Gate at all costs.
The reason why he dared to destroy the cauldron was because there were three thousand Beixi Qingqi behind him, helping him with the rearguard action.
Now that there are no worries, let's attack with all our strength.
The main infantry entered the battle, and the situation immediately changed drastically.
The defenders above the city wall did not dare to show their heads rashly anymore. They could only hide behind the arrow stacks and keep pouring downwards with bows and arrows.
Sun Bo's army, on the other hand, held up shields and kept approaching the city wall. At the same time, they used bows and arrows to fight back, cover the troops and seize the city gate.
The battle between the two sides fell into an extremely anxious stage.
Standing far away from the city wall, Lin Wenwan witnessed the entire incident, but her face was expressionless.
She had long expected this outcome.
Had it not been for the arrangement of heavily armored soldiers to defend behind the city gate, Gusu City would have fallen on New Year's Eve.
There were many lieutenants gathered around Lin Wenwan, but no one dared to question Lin Wenwan.
They were so ashamed of themselves that they wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
In the life of a soldier, he is not as good as a woman who can see the situation clearly.
"Madam, how should we fight this battle?"
Faced with the deputy general's inquiry, Lin Wenwan made an understatement and blurted out: "Just follow the steps."
Step by step?
The city gate has become a mess and may be lost at any time. At this time, the only way is to use all our strength to recapture the city gate.
Although everyone felt that Lin Wenwan's move might further expand the crisis.
But after learning from the past, everyone no longer hesitated at all and just obeyed the orders.
Lin Wenwan disdained to be angry with such a martial artist.
Since the city gate is already in such chaos, just narrow the battlefield to the city gate and attack slowly.
With the army Sun Bo had in hand, it was almost unrealistic to conquer the city wall.
Only by fighting for the city gate can there be a chance.
And when the battle for the city gate begins, there will be a deadlock that cannot be escaped, and human lives will be piled up.
Sun Bo's army could not consume tens of thousands of defenders no matter what.
Right now, we just need to prevent Sun Bo's army from rushing into the city and expanding the battlefield.
Lin Wenwan stared coldly at the city gate where the battle was fierce and gave only one order.
"Even if all the defenders are exhausted, we must keep the enemy out of the city gate and not allow a single enemy to rush into the city."
This battle lasted from night to dawn.
As time went by, more and more corpses were piled up at the city gate, which gave the defenders an opportunity.
In the end, it still ended in Sun Bo's failure.
When the vanguard army retreated to the camp, there were only more than 10,000 people left, except for the soldiers who died in Gusu City.
Even if they are so elite, it is inevitable that they will flee...
After all, this city gate battlefield, which purely consumes human lives, is too tragic for any soldier.
Sun Bo collapsed on the ground, his eyes confused.
"I didn't expect that I actually lost..."
"The King of Qin's plan is perfect, but he still cannot conquer Gusu City."
Just when Sun Bo was depressed, Liu Ming walked in.
"General Sun, don't be discouraged. If the vanguard army alone can capture Gusu City, then the wealthy families in the south will have nothing to worry about."
"It's pretty good to be able to fight like this."
"The defenders in the city have realized the strength and determination of our army."
"Right now, we just need to wait for King Qin to come to the battlefield in person."
After hearing this, Sun Bo didn't feel relieved at all. Is this war inseparable from Qin Feng after all? !
