We do not know much about the actual timing of the Trojan War, so this will focus on what is written in The Iliad and The Odyssey. The first issue is that the beachhead was difficult for the Greeks to take. The ground was strongly sloped and the Trojans had the high-ground. The second major issues is that Ancient Greeks did not have sophisticated siege weaponry, which meant that it was effectively impossible for them to breach the Trojan Walls surrounding the city until Odysseus came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse, which allowed for the Trojans to "self-breach" the city walls.

How did the Trojan horse help greek defeat the Trojan?
the Greeks hid in the hollowed out wooden horse, and sailed their ships away, making the Trojans believe they had left.

At night, the men inside the horse, escaped, killed the guards at the wall, opened the city gates and signalled the hiding Greek forces to attack. With the heavily fortified wall gates now open, the Greeks easily defeated the Trojans.
