962. Heaven helps the Great Song
The picture returns to the 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 forbidden troops on the head of Jiumao Pass City.
There were less than 400 soldiers guarding the 2,000 soldiers in the prison.
The time was about two quarters of an hour away from them driving the Dali army out of the pass, and there was finally a Yuan army outside the pass to get to the pass. The yellow dust is rolling 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 is afraid that it will be close to 30,000. Moreover, from the distance of the official road, there is also a noisy yellow dust, faintly visible.
Obviously, the Dali army that had been killed out of the pass before ran back.
This will make the number of soldiers in the Dali army reach a terrifying level.
At this moment, even if Zhao Dongting had masters such as Kong Qiangu and Qi Wulie on his side, and there were close to eight thousand forbidden troops, his heart was bottomless, and his face was very solemn.
He was hesitating whether to lead the army to defend the Jiumao Pass, or to retreat first and then make plans.
The ground forces are all right, but it is not easy for the ground forces to break through the barrier in these years. What was really deadly was the hundreds of hot air balloons in the air.
Even the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army would definitely not be able to withstand the bombardment of so many hot air balloons when guarding the city.
"Did the scouts come back?"
Zhao Dongting turned his head and asked Yang Kanglong on the side. I don't know if this is the first time 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, they did not see the army.
Yang Kanglong arched his hand and only said: "Back to the emperor, I haven't come back yet." ”
Zhao Dongting's eyebrows condensed slightly, and said: "It seems that even if Deputy Zhang's military order is to lead the army, it is still some distance away from this Jiumao Pass." ”
Yang Kanglong's eyes flashed, "Your Majesty, should we withdraw from this Jiumao Pass first?" ”
Zhao Dongting raised his hand and gently tapped his forehead, and muttered: "If the army wants to enter Chenzhou, it must seek a breakthrough from the Jiumao Pass and Luoxian Pass and other checkpoints. We have really bumped into the opportunity to take this Jiumao Pass, and if we want to retreat so easily, and when these Dali troops enter the pass, it will take a lot of energy for us to take it again. I'm really a little reluctant......"
He looked up at the Dali Army hot air balloon that was slowly approaching in the sky, and said with a wry smile: "It would be nice if it rained at this time." ”
Yang Kanglong, Kong Qiangu and others on the side were all slightly stunned, and then couldn't help laughing.
No one thought that the emperor would say such a thing.
That's right, if it rains, the hot air balloons of the Dali army can no longer fight.
But where is the rain that will fall as soon as it is said?
Even if it is the empty eternals of the extreme realm, there is no ability to ask for rain at all! This kind of thing is not at all controlled by human power, at least with the technology of this era, it is impossible.
"Forget it......"
Seeing the hot air balloons of the Dali Army and the ground troops getting closer and closer, 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 future army to destroy the Fenghebi army, he is unwilling to joke with the lives of the soldiers.
Less than 8,000 people faced this endless Dali army, and they didn't know how long they could hold it, and maybe they would be wiped out before Zhang Jue arrived.
Zhao Dongting was undoubtedly reluctant to pay such a big price.
The forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was not put together randomly, they were all elite. It can be said that everyone has Zhao Dongting's hard work.
"Prepare to withdraw!"
Yang Kanglong, Jin Hancai, Shi Kangsheng and others will run away and shout loudly.
The forbidden soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty at the head of the city put away their guns and stood upright, and then marched towards the city in formation.
Zhao Dongting seemed to be a little reluctant to look back at the Dali army outside the city, and sighed, "It's a pity, ......"
Only at this time, the sky is suddenly changing.
In an instant, dark clouds appeared in the originally clear sky.
The clouds gradually obscured the scorching sun.
On the horizon, there is a clear dividing line between light and dark towards these nine passes.
Zhao Dongting's expression was stunned.
He raised his head in a daze and muttered, "Isn't it going to rain?" ”
As if to answer his words, the sky became more and more dark clouds, and they surged violently.
Heaven and earth soon fell into darkness, and in a short time it seemed like dusk had fallen.
There was an occasional electric glow in the dark clouds.
There are not many Song soldiers in the city, who were stunned.
Yang Kanglong and the others hurriedly ran back to Zhao Dongting's side, and they all looked at Zhao Dongting with extremely unbelievable eyes.
At this moment, they were afraid that Mo would think that Zhao Dongting was really a divine dragon descending into the world. Because, he said that he wanted it to rain, and this god really wanted to rain.
Yang Kanglong said: "Your Majesty, it seems to be raining!" Let's ......"
"Guard!"
Zhao Dongting came back to his senses, and said loudly in surprise: "Stick to this Jiumao Pass!" ”
"Yes!"
Yang Kanglong and the other generals hurriedly received the order, and then ran away again, "The emperor has an order!" Defend the city! Defend the city! ”
A drop of cool rain suddenly fell on Zhao Dongting's face.
Zhao Dongting raised his head and smiled, muttering in his mouth, "It's raining......"
It's really God helping him.
I don't know how much this rain will save for the army.
When he looked out of the city again, Zhao Dongting's face was already cold. Even God cooperates like this, if you don't keep these Dali troops out of the city, it will inevitably be too disappointing to God.
The Dali army outside the city was dumbfounded.
When they came to attack the city, the sun was still scorching, so how could it be said that it was raining?
The faces of the generals in the army were ugly.
Although the hot air balloon is powerful, it cannot be lifted into the air in windy and rainy weather.
"!"
Some generals watched the hot air balloon in the air slowly fall downward, and couldn't help but curse angrily.
Many generals gathered around the temporary commander of the army and asked, "General, are we going to continue the siege?" ”
The lord gritted his teeth and said, "We have all arrived here, how can we give up." Jiumao Pass fell into the hands of the Song army, how can we resist it in the future? ”
This chief general is the commander of the soldiers and horses of Shicheng County. In the Dali army, the status is similar to that of the commander of the soldiers and horses of Jianchang Mansion who guarded Jiumao Pass before.
In the case that Feng Hebi and Duan Shi did not lead the army to the battle, they should have the highest status in the army. After all, Shicheng County and Jianchang Mansion had the most soldiers in the Fenghebi army.
When the general heard this, the generals no longer doubted, and ran back to the army.
The tens of thousands of Dali troops assembled from all over the world continued to march towards Jiumao Pass.
The hot air balloon slowly landed.
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 already completely dark, and the rain was pouring down.
Many of the Great Song soldiers in the city were drenched in the rain.
Only Zhao Dongting, Kong Qiangu, and Qi Wulie have good martial arts cultivation, and they have Gang Qi to protect their bodies, but they are not wet with water when they are supporting Gang Qi.
Kong Qiangu looked at Zhao Dongting and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Providence wants to destroy this Dali army." ”
Even Qi Wulie's eyes when he looked at Zhao Dongting at this time were a little different from before.
People in this era believe in the destiny of heaven.
He used to obey Zhao Dongting's orders, but he was forced to do so. But at this moment, I'm afraid that I will have to give birth to a little sincerity.
Qi Wulie only sighed in his heart, maybe the emperor is really the true son. Otherwise, there is no reason for God to help him like this.
If he can help the emperor open up a thousand years of foundation, this is naturally the glory of his Bauhinia Villa. It's much better than helping Duan Qilin.
Zhao Dongting's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shouted: "All soldiers, listen to my orders and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
"Kill!"
Loud shouts rang out from the top of the city.
Nearly 8,000 soldiers came with the Divine Dragon Gun, and at this moment, all of them aimed the Divine Dragon Gun at the Dali Army outside the city.
Although they did not carry large firearms such as grenadiers and cupola cannons in this raid, this divine dragon gun alone is enough to rely on.
Imagine that the Dali army outside the city did not have a hot air balloon as a cover, what did they use to threaten the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army on the city?
Is it only the throwing carts and bows and arrows in their army?
The gun cart is much less powerful than the grenadier canister.
And the bow and arrow, then it is even more of a joke. With those bows and arrows in the Dali army, it was difficult to break the armor of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Kill!"
Outside the city, drums also sounded, and shouts of killing began.
After many soldiers of the Dali army approached the city, they did not make a temptation, and directly launched an attack on Jiumao Pass.
They all knew that there were not too many Song troops in Jiumao Pass at this time. And in the absence of heavy firearms in the Song army, they naturally thought that there was still hope for the siege.
Bang bang bang.
When the Dali army ran into the firing range, there were dense gunshots at the head of the city.
