Once the Shengle Cavalry successfully entered the city, the outcome of the battle was, to some extent, already settled.
Fengxin City, the so-called new capital of the pseudo dynasty, was in fact a den of bandits. How could these ragtag rebel troops possibly organize a counterattack under such circumstances?
As for street fighting, it was a dreadful prospect. Its brutality wasn't just for the attackers; first and foremost, the defenders had to possess the courage for a desperate, self-sacrificial stand.
Furthermore, with the twin advantages of a long forced march and a night raid, they faced a completely unprepared rabble of rebel troops. If General Zheng's elite forces, painstakingly nurtured by emptying his coffers, could still be repelled in such a situation, it would be an utter waste!
