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?"

Zhao Dongting had murderous intent flowing through his eyes, "Even if it cannot be destroyed, they will never let them withdraw easily. Annihilation of these, sealing together would mean losing their right-hand man."

He looked at Kong Qiangu and said, "When Deputy Zhang's army order arrives, you will have to trouble you, Senior Kong, to take action again."

"Um?"

Kong Qiangu is a little puzzled.

Zhao Dongting said slowly: "It's time to take the leaders of those lieutenant generals in Dali Army."

Kong Qiangu suddenly realized, "It turns out that the emperor is waiting for this opportunity."

He finally understood why Zhao Dongting asked them to leave the city before just to destroy the Dali army's artillery carts, but did not let them attack the Dali generals.

If those generals die, the Dali army will inevitably retreat. If they want to destroy them, it will inevitably take a lot of trouble.

While the two were talking, gunfire sounded again.

The Dali Army had no cost to seize the Jiumao Pass.

There is naturally a reason for this.

They suffered consecutive setbacks in this Chenzhou and suffered heavy losses. At this time, they had a close fight with the Song Dynasty imperial guards. If they went to Changsha, they would not be able to get rid of the Song Dynasty imperial guards' pursuit like maggots attached to their bones.

Only by fighting the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty here and destroying Zhang Jue's army can they have hope of survival. At that time, they can retreat to Kuizhou and advance to Changsha.

Feng Hebi and Duan Shi have also led their army to leave Luxi and come to the Jiumao Pass. I think that by this time, they are already not far from Jiumao Pass.

Perhaps, they might be able to arrive at the Jiumao Pass before Zhang Jue led his army.

Then they may break the Jiumao Pass.

At present, it is hard to say who will win to death.

The rain gradually became lighter.

The wet Dali army outside the pass was like an ant and approached the city wall again with the shooting of the Song Dynasty imperial guards.

But there are no masters in the army.

In addition to siege equipment, these Dali troops mostly poured in from the city gates. There were also shooters shooting against the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty under the city.

Those masters did not dare to come to attack the city at all, and they were guarding the side of the generals of the army at this moment.

Kong Qiangu and others were unparalleled, and they and the generals were already scared to death.

If it weren't for knowing that Feng Hebi was leading his army to come, perhaps the generals were concerned about their own safety, and it might have led their army to retreat at this time.

The gunfire of nearly two thousand soldiers and other soldiers in the corridor seemed a little thinner than before.

In addition to the lack of ammunition in the military, this is naturally related to Zhao Dongting's instruction.
