The five hundred light cavalry that had just withdrawn from the battlefield were unable to support them again within a short period of time.

There are no extra cavalry in Gusu City.

Right now, there were only two options left for Lin Wenwan: withdraw the troops immediately, or continue to send light infantry for support.

It's a pity that the five hundred Qingqi led by Zhao Zhenhai have already blocked the retreat. They retreat at this time, not to mention whether the order can be conveyed.

Even if two thousand infantry retreat at the same time, they will inevitably be pursued by the opponent. Once the formation is broken up, large-scale casualties will occur.

If light infantry is sent to support, it will take a certain amount of time to get from the city to the battlefield, and at the same time, they have to run forward.

Whether you can maintain your formation is one thing, and whether you have enough physical strength is another.

Lin Wenwan clearly knew that Qin Feng could deceive, but she didn't expect that Qin Feng would still lead him by the nose, and he was caught in a dilemma.

In the end, Lin Wenwan could only give the cruel order and send troops to support.

While the troops were gathering, 2,500 light cavalry led by Zhao Yulong had arrived at the battlefield and immediately launched a siege.

When the number of light cavalry troops exceeded that of infantry, the situation changed.

Facing the random arrows of three thousand light cavalry, the infantry looked ahead and ignored the tail. It was difficult to form a tight defensive posture with just a shield in their hands.

They not only have to withstand the pressure directly in front, but also defend against the harassment of surrounding light cavalry.

As more and more soldiers fell, gaps appeared in the formation, it began to become loose, and the will to fight plummeted.

Even at this point, the light cavalry troops still had no intention of rushing into the formation, and still adopted harassment tactics, constantly applying pressure and attrition.

When the soldiers of Gusu City allocated too much energy to resist the Qingqi, the front line could no longer withstand the offensive of Sun Bo's vanguard.

Sun Bo's eyes widened and he shouted excitedly: "Attack! Attack! Attack!"

"The enemy's formation is close to collapse, break through in one fell swoop!"

Hearing Sun Bo's shout, the vanguard soldiers instantly became more motivated.

They never expected that this battle would develop in this direction. They needed this victory so much that they immediately pushed forward as if they were risking their lives.

The three thousand infantrymen in Gusu City have been assembled, the city gates slowly opened, and they began to march towards the battlefield.

Unfortunately, at this time, the formation of the two thousand infantry had begun to collapse, and after repeated attacks and sieges, the loss rate was extremely high.

The casualties exceeded 500 people.

Although the remaining 1,500 soldiers were still resisting vigorously, their formation had begun to become chaotic.

They could neither effectively resist the arrows fired from all directions, nor could they withstand Sun Bo's vanguard.

As the gap in the vanguard became wider and wider, Sun Bo's vanguard was like a sharp knife, thrusting straight in.

The formation of the Gusu City soldiers was gradually torn apart.

Seeing that they could no longer withstand it, the remaining soldiers had no choice but to give up resistance, turned around and fled in the direction of Gusu City.

With the formation completely collapsed, Pioneer Sun Bo no longer had any worries, and no longer had to pay attention to the formation, he could just start chasing.

The remaining more than a thousand Gusu City soldiers were all facing Gusu City, with their backs to Sun Bo's vanguard.

Whether it is an individual or a small number of soldiers who turn around to defend the enemy, they will be instantly overwhelmed by Sun Bo's vanguard. In this way, the defeat of the Gusu City soldiers is already doomed and cannot be reversed.

It's not enough to be chased by Sun Bo's vanguard. There are also three thousand Qingqi chasing and intercepting them from the other three sides.

The soldiers of Gusu City simply could not escape the encirclement and fell in pieces.

When the reinforcements from Gusu City arrived at the halfway point, Zhao Yulong and Zhao Zhenhai led the Qingqi decisively and spread towards the two wings, bringing with them the reinforcements coming from the rear to block them.

In the blink of an eye, there were less than 700 soldiers in Gusu City, and the 3,000 infantry who came to support did not merge with the 2,000 soldiers, but... collided with each other.

The light cavalry troops, like shepherd dogs driving sheep, firmly controlled the direction of the Gusu City soldiers on both wings.

The tight formation of the reinforcements not only had no effect, but was actually destroyed by their own people.

Under the influence of the fleeing friendly forces, the reinforcements also began to get into chaos. Faced with the onslaught of Sun Bo's vanguard, they were unable to stop them at all.

In the end, these three thousand reinforcements could only flee towards the city under the coercion of friendly forces.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wenwan on the city wall had closed her eyes. Although she had long known that fighting Qin Feng was extremely risky, she did not expect that she would lose so completely.

A total of five thousand infantry were defeated in one fell swoop...

Has Qin Feng's use of tactics reached this point?

The generals of Gusu City who were present were also dumbfounded. They knew that Qin Feng was a god with his troops, but they could not imagine that the consequences of a field battle with Qin Feng would be so serious.

"Quick! Open the city gate quickly."

"Damn it, two thousand vanguards, plus three thousand reinforcements, a total of five thousand people, were completely defeated..."

"Is this Qin Feng?"

Seeing the remaining defeated soldiers rushing towards the city gate one after another, Zhao Yulong and Zhao Zhenhai did not lead the cavalry to continue the pursuit.

After all, being too close to the city wall would be too risky.

They just circled around the outside, as if they were mocking the defenders in the city.

Sun Bo led his infantry and began to retreat in an orderly manner to avoid being attacked by the enemy. Rather than retreating, it was better to say... a triumphant return!

The two thousand vanguards not only destroyed the opponent's two thousand defenders, but also defeated three thousand reinforcements in one fell swoop.

This huge victory swept away the gloom of the past.

From Sun Bo to the infantry, everyone was extremely excited.

"Win...win!"

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the King of Qin!"

"The defenders of Gusu City are mediocre!"

"The tide is turning, and this time it's finally our turn to feel proud."

"Hehehe, avenge the shame!"

A group of generals cast their fiery gazes at Qin Feng in the distance. At this moment, in their hearts, Qin Feng was the savior who came to calm the battlefield.

As long as Qin Feng is here, let alone 7,000 troops, even if there are only 700 left, they will no longer panic.

Qin Feng, who had witnessed the entire incident, looked at Gusu City and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Concubine Lin, before we were in Kyoto, you and I were fighting openly and secretly politically."

"Now we are fighting on the battlefield again. Is it because we are enemies, or is it fate?"

"It seems that the people in Gusu City are not unified."

Qin Feng knew very well that Lin Wenwan's talents were by no means limited to this. The reason why she took the risk must have been influenced by the other generals in the city.

After all, there are still many generals who are dissatisfied with her as a woman.

At least in the eyes of most people, fighting is a man's business, and women are not meddling in it.

The more chaotic the situation in Gusu City is, the more Qin Feng will naturally enjoy himself secretly.

"Go back to camp!"
