The picture returns to Jiumao Pass on the south side of Jinghu North Road.

Zhao Dongting led Shi Kangsheng, Gu Junying, Yin Yongning and others to a total of nearly 8,000 imperial guards locating on the top of Jiumao Pass.

There were less than four hundred soldiers guarding the two thousand surrendered soldiers in the pass.

It was about two quarters of an hour before they drove the Dali army out of the pass. Outside the pass, the Yuan army finally arrived in front of the pass. The yellow dust rolled like a dragon.

There are hundreds of hot air balloons in the sky, and they have already been exposed in the sky.

The Dali Army on the ground must be nearly 30,000. Moreover, from the distance of the official road, there is also yellow dust that can be seen faintly.

Obviously, the Dali troops who were killed out of seclusion had run back.

This will make the number of soldiers of the Dali Army reach a terrible level.

At this moment, even though Zhao Dongting had a place beside him, Qi Wulie had nearly 8,000 imperial guards, and his face was very serious.

He was hesitating whether to lead his army to defend the Jiumao Pass, or to retreat first and then make plans.

The ground troops are still fine. It is not easy for the ground troops to break through the pass these days. What is really deadly is the hundreds of hot air balloons in the air.

Even the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty would never withstand the bombardment of so many hot air balloons when guarding the city.

"Have the scout returned?"

Zhao Dongting turned his head and asked Yang Kanglong next to him. I don’t know how many times he asked.

Yang Kanglong and others all guessed that Zhang Jue should lead the army to Jiumao Pass at this time, but at this moment, he did not see the army.

Yang Kanglong bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, I haven't come back yet."

Zhao Dongting's eyebrows slightly condensed and said, "It seems that even if Deputy Zhang Junji Ling comes, he is still a distance from this Jiumao Pass."

A flash of light flashed in Yang Kanglong's eyes, "Master, should we withdraw from this Jiumao Pass first?"

Zhao Dongting raised his hand and tapped his forehead gently, pondering: "If the army wants to enter Chenzhou, it must seek breakthroughs from Jiumao Pass and Luoxian Pass. We have a chance to win this Jiumao Pass. We have to retreat so easily. When these Dali troops enter the pass, it will take a lot of energy to take it down. I am really reluctant to leave..."

He looked up at the Dali Army hot air balloon that was slowly approaching in the sky, and smiled bitterly: "It would be great if it rained at this time."

Yang Kanglong, Kong Qiangu and others were stunned, and then they couldn't help laughing.

No one expected that the emperor would say such words.

That's right, if it rains, the Dali Army's hot air balloons can no longer continue to fight.

But how could the rain be done just by saying it?

Even Kong Qiangu, who is in the extreme realm, has no ability to seek rain at all! This kind of thing cannot be controlled by human resources at all. At least with the technology of this era, it is impossible.

"never mind……"

Seeing the Dali Army's hot air balloons getting closer and closer to the ground troops, Zhao Dongting finally made up his mind and sighed: "Prepare to retreat!"

Although sticking to Jiumao Pass at this time can save a lot of effort for the army to destroy the army in the future, he was ultimately unwilling to joke about the lives of the soldiers.

With less than 8,000 people facing the endless Dali army, I don’t know how long it will last. Maybe the entire army was wiped out before Zhang Jue arrived.

Zhao Dongting undoubtedly couldn't bear to pay such a big price.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were not gathered together randomly, they were all elite. It can be said that Zhao Dongting's efforts were condensed in each of them.

"Prepare to withdraw!"

Yang Kanglong, Jin Hancai, Shi Kangsheng and others will run away and shout loudly.

The Song imperial guards on the top of the city gathered their guns and stood upright, then lined up toward the city.

Zhao Dongting looked back at the Dali army outside the city, murmured, "What a pity..."

Only at this moment did the sky suddenly change.

The originally clear sky suddenly appeared dark clouds.

The dark clouds gradually blocked the scorching sun.

There is a clear dividing line of light and darkness on the horizon and towards this Jiumao Pass.

Zhao Dongting's expression was stunned.

He raised his head blankly and murmured, "Will it rain?"

It seemed as if to respond to his words, the sky was filled with dark clouds and violently surging.

The world quickly fell into darkness, and in a short time it seemed like dusk was coming.

There is occasional lightning in the dark clouds.

There were countless soldiers of the Song Dynasty on the city wall stunned.

Yang Kanglong and others hurried back to Zhao Dongting, all looking at Zhao Dongting with extremely unbelievable eyes.

At this moment, they were afraid that Zhao Dongting was really a dragon. Because, he said he wanted to rain, God was going to rain.

Yang Kanglong said: "Your Majesty, it seems to be raining! We..."

"Shou!"

Zhao Dongting came back to his senses and said loudly in surprise: "Hold this Jiumao Pass to the death!"

"yes!"

Yang Kanglong and other generals quickly took the order and ran away again, "The emperor has an order! Guard the city to the death! Guard the city to the death!"

A drop of cool rain suddenly fell on Zhao Dongting's face.

Zhao Dongting raised his head and smiled, murmured, "It's raining..."

This is really God is helping him.

I don’t know how much trouble it will save for the army this rain.

When he looked outside the city again, Zhao Dongting's face was already cold. Even God cooperated like this. If he didn't block these Dali troops outside the city, it would be too disappointing God.

The Dali army outside the city was stunned.

They came to attack the city. The sun was still scorching just now. Why did it rain?

The generals in the army all looked ugly.

Although the hot air balloon is amazing, it cannot be launched into the air and fight in strong winds and rainy weather.

"Oh shit!"

A general looked at the hot air balloon slowly falling downwards, and couldn't help but curse indignation.

Many generals gathered to the side of the temporary chief general in the army and asked, "General, should we continue to attack the city?"

The master general gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone has arrived here, how can we give up? Jiumao Pass falls into the hands of the Song army, how can we resist in the future?"

The main general is the general manager of the military commander of Shicheng County. In the Dali Army, his status is different from that of the general manager of the military commander of Jianchang Mansion who had guarded Jiumao Pass before.

When Duan Shi did not lead his army to fight, the status of these people should be the highest among the army. After all, Shicheng County and Jianchang Prefecture were the most soldiers in the army.

After hearing the Lord General say this, the generals no longer doubted and ran back to the army.

Tens of thousands of Dali troops, which were pieced together, continued to move towards Jiumao Pass.

The hot air balloon slowly landed on the ground.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

By the time these Dali troops arrived only a few hundred meters outside the city, the sky was completely dark and heavy rain was pouring.

Many soldiers of the Song Dynasty on the city were wet by the rain.

Only Zhao Dongting, Kong Qiangu, Qi Wulie and others have good martial arts cultivation and have Gangqi to protect their bodies. While supporting Gangqi, they are not wet by water.

Kong Qiangu looked at Zhao Dongting and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that God wants to destroy this Dali army."

Even Qi Wulie's eyes at Zhao Dongting at this time were a little different from before.

People in this era believe in destiny.

He used to obey Zhao Dongting because of helplessness. But at this moment, he was afraid that he would have to feel a little sincere.

Qi Wulie only sighed in his heart, maybe the emperor is really the emperor. Otherwise, there would be no reason why even God would help him like this.

If he could help the emperor open up a foundation for a thousand years, this would naturally be the glory of his Zijing Villa. It would be much better than helping Duan Qilin.

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, listen to my orders and prepare to face the enemy!"

"kill!"

There were shouts in unison on the top of the city.

Nearly eight thousand soldiers came with the Shenlong gun. At this moment, they all pointed the Shenlong gun at the Dali army outside the city.

Although they did not carry large firearms such as grenade cannons and sky cannons during this trip, the Shenlong gun alone was already enough to rely on.

Just imagine what did the Dali army outside the city use to threaten the Song Dynasty imperial guards on the top of the city without hot air balloons as cover?

Is it just that the gun chariots and bows in their army?

The power of the gunboat is much smaller than that of the grenade launcher.

And bows and arrows are even more jokes. With the bows and arrows in the Dali army, it is difficult to break the armor of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

"kill!"

There were also drums outside the city, and there were shouts of killing.

After many Dali Army troops arrived at the city, they did not make any tests and directly launched an attack on Jiumao Pass.

They all knew that there were not many Song troops in Jiumao Pass at this time. And when the Song army did not have heavy firearms, they naturally believed that there was still hope for siege.

Bang bang bang bang.

When the Dali army ran to the range, dense gunfire sounds sounded at the top of the city wall.
