After fighting all day, Zhang Zheng's spirit was highly nervous, and as soon as he relaxed at this moment, sleepiness hit him like a tide from the depths of his mind.

Biting the tip of his tongue to wake himself up, Zhang Zheng knew that other soldiers could sleep at this moment, but he couldn't.

After being tried several times, he couldn't get up at all, so Zhang Zheng had no choice but to put the long knife in his hand on the ground.

He stood up and shook his head twice. The late autumn wind blew into the neckline, making Zhang Zheng feel a chill.

The desert is different from other places, it is hot during the day and very cold at night. The enemy retreated, leaving behind corpses everywhere.

Zhang Zheng looked around, and there were many corpses on the city wall. Tightening the armor on his body, Zhang Zheng began to patrol the city wall.

As he walked, there were suddenly more people behind him. But it was Zhang Zheng who recognized Zhang Zheng who was like a blood gourd when he brought the guards from Chang'an, so he silently followed him to fulfill the responsibility of the guards.

After inspecting the circle, Chen Yu also led people to follow, and after a while, dozens of people followed behind Zhang Zheng.

"Leper dog, go and urge Xu Jingzong, the soldiers have been fighting for a day, and they need to replenish their physical strength the most at this moment." Zhang Zheng opened his mouth and commanded, but he didn't hear the answer from the leper dog.

Chen Yu's mouth moved slightly, and he said softly: "Uncle, the leper dog, he has died in battle." Zhang Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but his footsteps were incomprehensibly light.

"Oh, let's go somebody." At this moment, Zhang Zheng didn't know what to say, but he instinctively felt that he should say something.

Doing the same thing as Zhang Zheng is the current nominal supreme commander of Xizhou City, Saya Chu.

The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and without saying a word, they began to patrol the city with their own guards.

When they met their comrades who had died on the city walls, they moved their bodies together, and their ashes needed to be brought back to Guanzhong after the war.

When they encounter the corpse of an enemy dead on the city wall, they will work together to throw the corpse down the tower, and the enemy will naturally send soldiers to the city to collect the corpse.

After doing all this, Zhang Zheng clapped his hands, and the blood on his palms had become viscous. Zhang Zheng, who was the most particular in the past, had no intention of washing his hands at the moment.

Dry cakes were carried up to the tower, and there were boxes of millet flour with various meat and salt.

The young men in the city who were temporarily recruited woke up the Tang soldiers who fell asleep. Zhang Zheng took the lead in taking a piece of dry cake from the man's hand and gnawed it.

After a day of fighting the enemy, his physical strength was also depleted. The soldiers did not make the slightest noise, but silently ate the food in their hands.

After eating, he fell asleep. After inspecting the city wall again, it was already the third watch. Zhang Zheng turned around and went down the city tower, thought about it and walked towards the Earl's Palace.

No matter how scarce the rolling wood and stones on the city wall were, Zhang Zheng never thought of demolishing this earl's palace.

It's just that in this mansion, there lives a woman with a big belly. Stepping into the door of the house, he waved his hand back to greet the subordinates, and Zhang Zheng slowed down and slowly walked into the backyard.

Several black shadows appeared in front of Zhang Zheng's eyes in an instant, and after seeing that the person who came was Zhang Zheng, they quietly disappeared. Walking to the moon gate, Zhang Zheng did not continue to walk inside, even if there was still a light in the room in the backyard.

Looking at the room and silent for a long time, Zhang Zheng turned around.

"Husband!" A calm female voice rang out. Zhang Zheng turned around, and the figure leaned against the edge of the door.

Zhang Zheng didn't speak, and a smile appeared on his bloodstained face. Cui Shu opened her mouth, and suddenly sobbed in a low voice: "You must come back alive." ”

"Okay." Zhang Zheng nodded and strode out of the backyard. Xizhou is a lonely city, and when the city is broken, Chang Yan and the people he brought will naturally escort Cui Shu back to Chang'an safely with Zhang Fusheng and Huang Jiahao.

However, Zhang Zheng never planned to leave. Looking at Zhang Zheng's back as he gradually moved away, Cui Shu was already in tears.

… At dawn, the familiar sound of war drums sounded again. After the three-way drum, the soldiers of Datang were also ready.

Zhang Zheng changed a horizontal knife and stood at the top of the tower with an expressionless face, looking at the enemy army attacking like a tide in the distance.

After experiencing the tempering of blood and fire, Zhang Zheng's state of mind has been unwavered.

"Meet the enemy!" When the trumpet sounded again, the war began again. ……… Zhang Zheng couldn't remember how many times the Tang army had repelled the enemy's attacks today, and he only knew that the 3,000 people defending the city had been visibly reduced by two-thirds.

However, no matter how fierce the battle on the city wall was, the Saya Chu never used a thousand iron cavalry and a thousand reserves under Jiang Gan.

Even the Mo family who came to support them couldn't see any trace at all. Zhang Zheng grabbed Sayakuzha's collar and asked with a fierce look, "How long the hell are you going to wait?" Saya Chu was expressionless, and just said lightly: "Wait! ”

"Humph!" Zhang Zheng viciously threw Sayakuzhu aside, and then brushed his sleeves away. Saya Chu was not angry, stood up and patted the dust on the armor, and meticulously tidied up the collar that was crumpled by Zhang Zheng.

Another three days have passed, and the number of people who can still stand on the city wall with weapons has been reduced to hundreds, including Zhang Zheng's personal guards.

When a clay figure stood on the city wall, Saya Chu finally ordered: "It's okay, let the soldiers of the reserve team go up the city wall, success or failure, that's it." Zhang Zheng is already like a withered artemisia, even if he has Chen Yu's personal protection, there are many more wounds on his body.

But who is not scarred by the people on the wall? At the moment when Sayachu transferred his troops, a commotion suddenly broke out in the enemy camp.

The scout, who was observing the enemy's military formation at any time, suddenly said: "The enemy has withdrawn, the enemy has withdrawn!" ”

"What?" Zhang Zheng hurriedly snatched the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the enemy camp that had just retreated. Sure enough, I saw a part of the cavalry suddenly split from the enemy's formation, and then retreated into the distance.

Zhang Zheng hurriedly asked, "Have you seen clearly which country withdrew its troops?" The scout said: "Qiuzi, it is Qiuzi's soldiers who have retreated, about 3,000 people. ”

"Could it be..."A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Zhang Zheng's heart. At this moment, Dongcheng suddenly rode up, and before he could get close to the city wall, he heard the knight shouting, "Good news, good news, good news." Cheng Xiaogong led his troops to break through the six cities under the command of Qiuzi Kingdom, capturing more than 10,000 cattle and sheep. When the news that Cheng Chumo led his troops to break through the six cities of Qiuzi spread throughout Xizhou City, the remaining Tang Dynasty soldiers suddenly burst into a burst of earth-shattering cheers.

Zhang Zheng even punched the wall battlement, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, good, good, good..."
