Chapter 426: Bloody Battle in Xizhou
At this moment, the cruelty of war is vividly manifested. Familiar faces fell, and familiar companions died.
For those who are still alive, it is an ordeal, and even more so a torment. Zhang Zheng's eyes were red, and he couldn't remember how many times he had changed the knife in his hand.
The wound that was healed last night is cracking open again today. But he couldn't feel the pain anymore, because the pain in his body was no longer important compared to the pain in his heart.
Chen Yu and Zhang Fusheng, Huang Jiahao and Li Wucun are not far from Zhang Zheng. While stopping the enemy, we must also pay attention to Zhang Zheng's situation at any time, and from time to time take action to relieve Zhang Zheng who is in danger.
In their opinion, Zhang Zheng is not unable to die in battle, but he must die after them. This order is very important.
The enemies seem to be endless, and you can't kill them all. Gradually, a sense of despair grew in Zhang Zheng's heart.
After working hard for so long and dying so many people, in the end, Xizhou still failed to hold on? It's really unwilling.
More and more people are dying, and Zhang Zheng looks back. He glanced back to the east, as if he had crossed the city, and saw a carriage staggering towards Chang'an under the escort of the common saying.
It seems that she has seen the strong Cui Shu, even if she doesn't have herself, she will try to bring up their children.
It was as if I saw the child in the woman's arms, who didn't even have a name, and was ignorant. Looking through thousands of miles, it seems to see the delicate little green dress waiting in the mansion in Weinan, complaining why he hasn't gone home yet.
There is also a small Qinghe, who is bored and worried, thinking about himself. It seems that I saw my father and mother who were far away in Chang'an, worrying about whether I was well fed and slept well?
Farewell, Datang, farewell, my parents and lover. Half of Zhang Zheng's body was no longer conscious.
He didn't know how many people he had killed, but he knew that he had reached his limit. He could have died, but definitely not at the hands of these foreign soldiers.
A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and Zhang Zheng retreated to the city tower. He looked at the long knife in his hand with a sharp edge, and decisively picked up a sharp knife from the ground.
Then without hesitation, he put the blade on his neck. When the city is broken, let it be clear with death!
The remaining Tang soldiers formed small groups one by one, still fighting hard against the enemy.
Unfortunately, there are more and more enemies attacking the city, and stubborn resistance is only to speed up the death.
"Brothers, I don't have the strength anymore, I'll go first." Zhang Zheng muttered to himself and closed his eyes.
"Uncle, don't..."Chen Yu's voice was a little frightened. The cold blade of the long knife rested on his neck, and Zhang Zheng's hand was slightly forced, and blood oozed out, flowing down the blade into a bloodshot streak.
"Dang!" Suddenly, Zhang Zheng's hand was numb, and the long knife fell to the ground instantly, it turned out that Li Wucun didn't know when he came to Zhang Zheng's approach.
"Why are you stopping me?"
"Because, reinforcements have arrived!" Zhang Zheng opened his eyes blankly, reinforcements, where did the reinforcements come from?
"Kill!" The familiar shouts of killing suddenly sounded from outside the city, and the enemy soldiers were suddenly shocked. The Tang people still have reinforcements!
In the Gaochang array, Zhang Huan's face turned pale, he didn't expect that the Tang Army would still have reinforcements. Zhang Zheng fixed his mind and looked outside the city, and sure enough, he saw two cavalry from two directions not far away.
A team of about 2,000 people, dressed in Tang Army standard armor, was in a chaotic formation. The other team was about 4,000 people, unarmed, but the lineup was orderly, and there was a thousand momentum between the charges.
"Kill!" The two cavalry teams did not blend, but they were exceptionally tacit. The coalition soldiers under the city who had not yet attacked the Xizhou city wall were dumbfounded.
A thought popped up in my heart: "Where did the Tang Army get reinforcements?" But before they could think about it, the two cavalry were plunged into the coalition like an awl.
Cavalry against footmen, six thousand against twenty thousand. In just a few charges, the coalition army formation has been divided into several pieces.
What followed was a one-sided slaughter. Without the enemy attacking the city wall, the remaining Tang soldiers only felt that the pressure was suddenly relaxed.
Everyone's faces showed the same blank look as Zhang Zheng.
"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?" The cavalry that suddenly appeared made both the enemy and us a little confused. But after the confusion, some of the Western Regions Alliance troops were afraid, while the Tang soldiers were overjoyed.
Reinforcements arrived. Xizhou, saved! The dead robes, their deaths, finally have meaning.
"Datang, Wansheng!" On the city wall, the voices of the Tang soldiers who had survived a hundred battles sounded sparsely.
"Datang, Wansheng."
"Datang, Wansheng."
"Datang, Wansheng." Hundreds of voices gradually became more and more intimate, also encouraging the cavalry that was slaughtering the soldiers of the coalition forces below the city walls.
Zhang Zheng couldn't help but burst into tears. Xizhou, saved. yourself, you don't have to die. Thinking of this, Zhang Zheng stood on the city tower, and he didn't know where the strength came from.
He picked up the hammer from the hands of the drummer who had long since died in battle, and struck it on the drum again and again.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."The war drums beat, and suddenly the city sounded
"Datang, Wansheng." The remaining Tang soldiers gathered under the drums of war and supported each other. Everyone's eyes widened.
They don't dare to blink because they're afraid. Afraid that the reinforcements in front of me would suddenly disappear in the blink of an eye, afraid that it was just a dream.
Maybe it's a stick of incense, maybe it's an hour, maybe it's a day and a night. The sound of the golden iron horse under the city gradually disappeared.
Zhang Zheng threw away the drum hammer, and the whole person fell to the ground unconsciously, gasping for breath. He couldn't describe the feeling of the aftermath of his life.
Now, he just wanted to lie down and get a good night's sleep. A voice in his ear told him that you can sleep without being awakened by the sudden sound of horses' hooves, and without worrying about enemy knives slashing at you, you can sleep well... Zhang Zheng decided to listen to his inner arrangement, close his eyes, and sleep well.
…
"I've been asleep for three days, why haven't you woken up?" The familiar loud voice gave Zhang Zheng a little headache. Roll over, try to keep your ears away from that loud voice, and continue sleeping.
But the demonic voice obviously didn't intend to let him go, and it still lingered in his ears.
"Brother Zheng'er, Brother Zheng'er..." opened his eyes through gritted teeth, Zhang Zheng wanted to sit up and give the owner of the voice a big comparison.
But his body was so sore that he couldn't even seem to move his fingers. glaring at the owner with a loud voice, Zhang Zheng said hoarsely: "What are you doing?" ”
"Hey, wake up, I'm still alive..."As soon as Cheng Chumo said this, a large group of people instantly surrounded him.
