A rumbling sound.

The city gate collapsed with a bang.

"I……"

The Dali soldier showed great joy and raised his arms and was about to yell. After all, breaking through the city gate was a great achievement, and he could be promoted to a general because of this.

However, before he could shout, his expression suddenly froze again.

Many balls of blood suddenly exploded on him.

The soldier fell to the ground in dejection.

Promoting to a general became a dream that he would never realize in his life.

Behind the collapsed city gate, many dark dragon gun chambers were exposed.

Shi Kangsheng led the soldiers of the Great Saint Regiment to guard the city gate.

There was a thunder in the Dali army, and Zhao Dongting never thought that this city gate could be kept forever.

Hundreds of soldiers from the Great Saint regiment had already arranged their formation in the city gate corridor. In front were shield soldiers standing with shields, and behind were rows of Shenlong Gunners.

Amid the dense sound of gunfire, Dali soldiers standing outside the city gate were shot down by gunfire.

If the Dali army does not retreat in this battle, it will inevitably be a protracted war.

And there are only drums in the Dali army.

At this time, the lord general who had withdrawn from Jiumao Pass was leading the army back. The lord general in the army could not be willing to retreat.

A Dali soldier ran outside the city gate and rushed into the corridor.

Only these people fell under the Dragon Gun one after another.

Blood gradually flowed in the corridor.

There are fewer and fewer artillery chariots in the Dali army outside the pass, and the threats they can pose to the city are getting smaller and smaller.

Several people including Kong Qiangu were invincible.

When the Dali soldiers who had originally guarded Jiumao Pass arrived, there were no more gunfire chariots outside the pass.

Kong Qiangu and others were no longer in love with the war outside the pass, and then rushed back to the city.

They have killed them from the army again.

With their skills, they did not need to enter the city from the corridor. When they arrived at the city, they just tapped their toes on the city wall and all of them floated up to the top of the city.

Kong Qiangu, who was in the extreme realm, flew up directly, like a banished immortal.

Back to Zhao Dongting, Kong Qiangu said: "Your Majesty, the cannon chariots outside the city have almost been destroyed."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, smiled, looked up at the sky, and said softly: "I want to see what skills do these Dali troops have to take over the Jiumao Pass."

Judging from the sky, this rain will not stop in a short period of time.

Kong Qiangu and others no longer take action.

About two quarters of an hour passed, and the sound of gold was finally heard in the Dali army. The soldiers outside the pass heard the sound of gold and retreated to the back like a tide.

This wave of offensive ended completely. The Dali Army did not achieve any achievements except for the explosion outside the city.

There are countless corpses of soldiers lying across the pass.

On the top of the city, the damage caused by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty was only minimal.

The imperial guards watched the Dali army retreat and made deafening cheers.

It was so satisfying to destroy so many Dali troops just now.

However, after the Dali army retreated hundreds of meters away from the pass, they did not continue to retreat. They just withdrew their troops, not defeated.

The generals and soldiers under their command reorganized their ranks.

The chief general in the Dali army obviously did not intend to give up attacking Jiumao Pass like this. He also knew the importance of Jiumao Pass.

If Jiumao Pass is in hand, they may have the power to deal with Zhang Jue's army. If Jiumao Pass is lost, even the Fenghebi army in Luxi City may be in danger.

Furthermore, the Dali Army leader did not have the idea of ​​waiting for Feng Hebi to lead his army to provide assistance.

Tens of minutes passed, and the drums sounded again in the Dali army.

Another Dali army attacked the city.

There are more than a dozen military formations, and there are always more than ten thousand people.

In total, Feng Hebi still has about 90,000 troops under his command. At this time, there were about 20,000 in Luxi County, and there were 20,000 in Luoxian Pass. The rest were almost outside the Jiumao Pass.

This is the army close to 50,000.

In terms of military deployment, the Dali Army undoubtedly has a great advantage.

But probably no one thought that with all their troops, they were defeated by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were always able to create such jaw-dropping results.

There was another thunder thunder on the top of the city.

The dust exploded in the wilderness outside Jiumao Pass, which had been devastated, and at the same time, the Dali soldiers fell one by one.

It’s also a blessing that the general asked the army to attack the city one after another, otherwise the morale of these Dali troops would have fallen to the bottom of the valley by this time.

When the Dali army was closer to the city wall, the dragon gun sounded again.

The Third Light Cavalry Regiment of the Tiangui Army came to the city gate to help Shi Kangsheng's Great Saint Army.

The Dali army was eager to take down the corridor, but many people rushed into the corridor, but in the end they were all dead under random guns.

Corptoes piled up in the corridor, gun holes on both sides of the walls were numb, potholes everywhere, and they were no longer as flat as before.

Blood gathered, flowing out of the corridor, and then soaked in the yellow soil, dyeing the ground red.

After about two quarters of an hour, the Dali army still failed to take down the Jiumao Pass passage. At this time, morale had declined, and gold sounds sounded again in the army.

The Dali army retreated again like a tide, but less than half of the people who had to retreat were able to attack the city before.

Under the Shenlong Gun, these Dali troops would inevitably pay a bloody price every time they attacked the city.

Only at this time, a crisis also came quietly among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

Shi Kangsheng, who was supervising the battle in the city gate corridor, and several generals at the city head hurried to Zhao Dongting after the Dali army retreated.

After looking at each other, Shi Kangsheng said, "Master, we are almost running out of ammunition."

The other generals obviously came for this matter. When they saw him speak, they nodded, "Your Majesty, so are our army."

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly, looked at Yang Kanglong beside him, and said, "Are the latest scout sent back?"

Yang Kanglong bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, you have already come back. However... at this time, the marshal would probably take about an hour to lead the army to this Jiumao Pass."

Zhao Dongting gently raised his fingers between his eyebrows, "So, if Zhang Shuai arrives, we still need to resist one or two attacks of these Dali troops."

"But……"

Shi Kangsheng said: "The artillery shells in our army are no longer able to repel even a wave of attacks in the Dali Army."

Zhao Dongting closed his eyes and pondered deeply.

When he opened his eyes again, he obviously made up his mind and said, "These Dali troops have been sieging the city until now. No matter what, they have been fighting until now. We cannot give up the Jiumao Pass at this time."

He looked at Shi Kangsheng and other generals and said, "There is no need to save shells. If the shells are all burned, just pick up the knife! Take the Dali Army's thunder and blow them up!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

The generals Jian Zhao Dongting said this, but he didn't think so, and they all bowed their orders. Then they ran to the army.

At the top of Jiumao Pass, beneath the city, shouts of generals inspiring the soldiers sounded everywhere.

There were no bullets, so I fought with swords and guns.

If the sword and gun are broken, even if you use your teeth, you have to bite a piece of meat from the Dali army.

"drink!"

"drink!"

The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison.

The Jiumao Pass is still full of momentum.

Until now, although the soldiers are tired, with Zhao Dongting here, their morale has always remained at its peak.

Time passed quickly and dozens of minutes.

There was indeed a drum sound in the Dali army outside the city, and there were military formations stepping towards the city.

The neat footsteps sounded like thunder.

Mud and water splash.

But at this moment, Zhao Dongting suddenly smiled.

He said to Yang Kanglong beside him: "Captain Yang, command the troops to pretend to be dissatisfied, and let them see the hope of breaking the city first."

Yang Kanglong was stunned at first, then his eyes burst out with his brilliance and he hurriedly ran down the city.

He already understood Zhao Dongting's plan.

If it is shown weakness, the Dali Army will definitely cherish this opportunity to attack the city. In this way, before Zhang Jue leads his army to the Jiumao Pass, the Dali Army will not launch a second wave of offensive.

After receiving Yang Kanglong's communication, the commanders of the army showed some joy on their faces.

Kong Qiangu looked at Zhao Dongting with some emotion and said, "The emperor is really a genius."

Zhao Dongting shook his head, laughing and crying, "Senior Kong praised it. To be honest, I didn't understand these military laws before I was seriously ill on Juzhou Island. The more military books I read later, I gradually realized that there were actually many shortcomings in military arts in the past. I was just adapting to the situation and was unwilling to follow all of them."

Kong Qiangu chuckled, "It's good to be able to achieve success."

As he said that, he looked back at the west side of Jiumao Pass, "Your Majesty, after Zhang Jue's deputy military order arrives, we can annihilate this Dali army, right?"
