The soldiers on the city wall had already started a small-scale fight with the Jin soldiers who had climbed up.
The force to block the Jin soldiers who were still climbing down was undoubtedly weakened.
The troops guarding the central city gate were naturally diluted.
For an important location like Chenggaoguan, it is almost impossible to take the city gate by climbing the city wall.
If you attack the city gate directly, you will be trapped in the city wall. After you break through one gate, there is another one behind it.
Being surrounded on all sides, entering the city wall would mean entering a dead end.

Only by combining the two can we successfully seize the initiative.
A group of soldiers crossed the moat again, pushing the battering ram and ramming towards the city gate like crazy!

The general defending the city is in charge of the overall situation. Although the current situation is critical, it is still within controllable range.
After repelling a wave of enemies, he glanced around and saw troops pushing battering rams towards the city gate.
He immediately ordered his men, "Shoot down the arrows! The city gate must not be lost!"
The soldiers on the left and right sides received the order and began to order others to take over the responsibility of blocking the enemy coming from the city wall and change the formation to obstruct the enemy soldiers under the city.
Soon the cart was halfway there and the soldier pushing it was shot dead. The following people continued to push the cart with unmatched bravery.
This is a relay of blood and will!
"Bang!" With a dull sound, the first impact successfully hit the heavy city gate.
The guard gritted his teeth, swung his knife left and right, and commanded as he slashed: "Kerosene! Draw kerosene, guard the city gate!"
As soon as a wave of enemy soldiers on the city wall were repelled, someone immediately poured kerosene and threw torches down.
A raging flame ignited at the gate, temporarily slowing down the progress of the battering ram, which made people on the city wall breathe a sigh of relief.
"Go and call for help. Continue to support the city wall! Speed up the delivery of city defense supplies!"
At this moment, the Jin soldiers were still climbing up the ladders in large numbers, and the soldiers defending the city were already blood-thirsty, and they were chopping down anyone who showed their heads, like whack-a-mole.
The Jin soldiers did not show weakness and fought back while shouting.
Whenever this happened, the defenders of Jing State would become furious, shouting and vomiting and rush forward.
There was a howling sound on the city wall, and the courage of the soldiers of Jing State was fully aroused by the opposite side.
Everyone swung their swords and chopped, or smashed down thunder stones and rolling logs and screamed at the top of their lungs.
"Fuck your mother! Fuck your mother!"
"Fuck you!!"
"Fuck your mother Gobi...die now!!"
"Fuck you, I've been stabbed, someone come quickly!!"
...
All kinds of "fuck X mom" voices, with Cao Potian's courage, resounded through the sky.
Perhaps in an extremely urgent situation, only this kind of shouting can express the burning fighting spirit in one's heart. After all, the ordinary "kill, kill, kill" is too low.
......
As the sun set in the west, the Jin army retreated like the tide.
Under the setting sun, the remains of the battlefield looked like a picture of hell, with countless corpses scattered everywhere, and the density became denser towards the foot of the city wall.
The unfilled moat had turned blood red, with occasional flames burning in a corner of the battlefield.
The city walls were covered in black and gray as well as marks from swords and knives.
The most terrifying part was under the city wall, where corpses piled up into a small slope.
At the top of the slope, you can vaguely see the handprints of countless desperate warriors fighting for survival.
Wutu observed this scene from a distance with an expressionless face and remained silent for a while.
Papa said cautiously: "Your Majesty, our army's morale is still high, why don't we attack it in one go?"
"Readjust. I see that they don't have many thunderstones and logs in the later stage, and the frequency has obviously decreased. We need to create a weak point and try to take it down in one go. In addition, their main forces should be gathered on the city wall now. Send people in with hot air balloons at night and wait for an opportunity to attack from both inside and outside. Rest for two hours to let the soldiers replenish their physical strength. I will personally make new arrangements. Let's go."
"Your Majesty is wise." Paba lowered his head slightly and bowed to the side.
.....
On the city wall, a group of defenders were resting against the battlements, their morale was low.
Although we won a small victory, the opponent was so crazy that almost half of the city’s resources were consumed that day.
According to the news from the hot air balloon, there are still many more troops behind.
It is simply impossible to damage its roots under the current circumstances.
A soldier hurriedly ran up to the tower. At this moment, the commander who was defending the city was panting. Seeing the soldier coming, he immediately asked, "Have you completed the statistics of casualties and supplies?"
The soldier looked grim: "It's done... We lost 1,036 men."
"Fuck!" The general defending the city pounded the wall hard.
Despite having all the preparations in place, more than a thousand people still died defending the city!
They have tried their best, which shows how crazy the other side is. I just don't know how many of them died?
"Where are the city defense supplies?!"
"There are less than ten thousand arrows left, but some brothers have already gone down to collect them. But the thunderstones and rolling logs... only one out of ten is left. Do you want to..."
"No! It's not worth much. We don't know when the enemy will come back. The brothers are all wounded. If they get stained with gold juice, it will be worthless." The general defending the city said, "By the way, where is the gold juice? How much is left?"
"It's all used up, but the people below are already pulling."
The guard's eyes were filled with tears: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. If this battle is successful, the higher-ups said everyone will be greatly rewarded!"
"According to the previous agreement, the reinforcements sent by His Majesty should arrive tonight. Send someone to pick them up. We don't have enough supplies, and whether we can hold on depends on them."
.....
As the sky gradually darkened, the two teams took advantage of the night to enter the city gates one after another.
The visitors were two generals sent by Emperor Jing, namely Song Wu and Guo Yang, who were in charge of the Beijing camp in Beijing.
