Adjutant Zhao hurried over and dismounted to Du Shengming's side.

Du Shengming embarrassedly smiled at Adjutant Zhao.

"Zhao Sheng, I have always looked down on you before, but I didn't expect to rely on you in the end."

Adjutant Zhao looked at Du Shengming, who was obviously running out of time, but did not speak.

Du Shengming took a hard breath, endured the pain in his body, and made a final explanation, "The South City Gate can't be lost, other people can't rely on it, here, I can only hand over the South City Gate to you, Xiang Lei!" ”

Du Xianglei, who was also covered with injuries, agreed, "Uncle, Xiang Lei is here." ”

Du Shengming grabbed Du Xianglei's wrist and squeezed it hard, "After I go, you will take the Du family to submit to the city defense army, defend the south city gate, and everything will be arranged by Adjutant Zhao!" ”

Du Xianglei's eyes were full of tears, and then he nodded vigorously, "The child obeys!" ”

Du Xianglei's father died unexpectedly soon after he was born, he was single-handedly pulled up by his uncle Du Shengming, no different from his own son, Du Xianglei is also very competitive, and his talent is the top of the Du family, he has almost been designated as the next person in charge of the Du family.

After Du Shengming finished explaining, he couldn't support it and lost the breath of life.

The tears that Du Xianglei endured suddenly slipped down the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't bear it.

Adjutant Zhao stretched out his hand and patted Du Xianglei on the shoulder, "Let your uncle's body be placed, we have more important things to do." ”

Du Xianglei wiped the tears on his face, the dirt and blood immediately covered half of his face, he stood up, straightened his back, his eyes fell on the city gate, and then ordered the guards around him to take away the uncle's body.

Adjutant Zhao saw that he was in control of his emotions, and then asked, "The South City Gate is not guarded by the Xiao family, why did it change to your uncle?" ”

Du Xianglei didn't hide it, his hands clenched into fists, and his knuckles rattled, "It's just that the head of the Xiao family escaped from the battle, and he also took away the elite of the Xiao family guarding the south city gate, and after the uncle discussed with the head of the Chen family, he took the initiative to take over the responsibility of guarding the south city gate." ”

It's just that the Du family is inferior to the Xiao family after all, and the city wall was damaged and not repaired during the truce, which made it worse, and this came to the point where you needed to ask for help.

The family alliance has been in a mess, the two heads of the Lu and Li families have not come back from the city, the remaining three family heads and the Xiao family have fled, the Chen family is reluctant to guard the east city gate, and the only thing Du Shengming can save is the former opponent of the city defense army.

He also saw the lonely fate of the family alliance in the future from this beast tide, so he forcibly let Du Xianglei take the exclusive return to the city defense army, find a big tree for the Du family, and continue to grow.

As he spoke, the thunder rhino that was attacking outside the city gate slammed into the city wall again, and the city wall, which had already broken two large holes, was even more damaged.

If it is not stopped, I am afraid that the entire city wall will not last long and will be destroyed!

Once the walls fell, the orcs inside the walls suffered first.

Adjutant Zhao's eyes sharpened, "Let's go, follow me to deal with that thunder rhino first." ”

Du Xianglei called the remaining elites of the Du family and followed Adjutant Zhao.

Adjutant Zhao glanced at it, where is there anyone left in the Du family, plus Du Xianglei, there are less than five elites who can still have combat effectiveness, and all of them are young and impulsive faces.

No wonder Du Shengming will ask him for help, it seems that the Du family has almost sacrificed in this beast tide, especially the older generation and the prime-aged generation.

Adjutant Zhao led the elite soldiers of the city defense army to step forward first to contain the huge thunder rhino, and Du Xianglei took the Du family to assist by the side.

This second wave of beasts did not slowly subside until dawn that day.

The entire walls of the gathering place were devastated.

Even with the help of Adjutant Zhao at the east gate, half of the entire city gate was still destroyed by Lei Xi, and half of the city gate was already wide open.

Adjutant Zhao took the elite soldiers of the city defense army and the younger generation of the Du family to fight with the thunder rhino for nearly three hours before grinding the thunder rhino to death.

The thunder rhino died, and the remaining two-star and one-star demonic beasts converged a lot and slowed down their attacks.

But Adjutant Zhao also consumed too much and completely lost his combat power.

Eighty percent of the elites of the four and five teams who came to the rescue with him died in battle.

There were twenty people when they came, but now there are only four left......

Du Xianglei helped Adjutant Zhao to sit aside, he opened the water bladder he was carrying and handed it to Adjutant Zhao, "Adjutant Zhao, rest for a while and drink some water." ”

Adjutant Zhao took the water bladder and poured it, and waved his hand at him, "The beast tide has receded, don't worry about me, go and count the casualties, clean the battlefield, and repair the city wall!" ”

Du Xianglei glanced at Adjutant Zhao and nodded vigorously.

It didn't take long for the preliminary statistics to come out.

In this battle to guard the South City Gate, eighty percent of the soldiers of the Du family died!

Eighty percent of the men who participated in the battle of the Du family died!

The remaining 20 percent of Du's family and soldiers are still seriously injured, and only 10 percent of the people who can continue to fight are currently available!

And the soldiers of the city defense army guarding the west and north gates have lost 20%, plus the first wave of losses, the city defense army has lost 40% of its strength so far!

The east city gate guarded by the Chen family lost seventy percent of the troops in two waves of beast tides, which was slightly better than the south city gate, but it was not much better.

It's not good news everywhere.

Rao has made so many preparations, and the loss of troops of the city defense army is only two or three percent less than that of the family alliance.

Adjutant Zhao took a deep breath and left with Du Xianglei to return to the city defense army.

Soon, other news came one after another.

In the second wave of beast tide, there were few ordinary demonic beasts, and only three ordinary demonic beasts were found in the three city gates in the southwest, north and south.

Since Adjutant Zhao has taken over the forces of the South City Gate and the Du family, he naturally has to take care of the situation at the South City Gate.

After the war, the soldiers must eat well to replenish their strength, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the next wave of beasts.

Adjutant Zhao issued an order to release grain from the granary of the city defense army, and the Du family's troops were included in the city defense army, and they were treated the same as the city defense army.

It's just that this time, the food of the city defense army will have to be spent a lot more.

Adjutant Zhao also sent the city defense army to the south gate to repair the damaged city wall.

Tian Hui entered the barracks and reported, "Sir, there are not enough manpower!" ”

Adjutant Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Let the recruits go too!" ”

Tian Hui wanted to say something to persuade him, but thinking of those comrades-in-arms who were injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, he could only swallow his words back, how could the commander not know that those recruits had only been trained for a month or two, but at this time, there was no one available at all, and if they were not allowed to go up, would they let ordinary people go up?

When you enter the city defense army, you must have the consciousness of sacrifice!

He had spoken this to the young men when they entered the city guards!

Tian Hui finally only nodded and went out to do errands.

After the second wave of beasts, the atmosphere in the entire gathering place became more and more strange, and even the people in the area of influence of the city defense army were not at ease, not to mention the orcs in the family alliance.

And soon there were rumors in Nancheng and Dongcheng, saying that the gate of Nancheng was broken by demonic beasts, and I am afraid that those demonic beasts will soon attack the city and wreak havoc, so that those capable people can run quickly!
