Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Hell in disguise

The vanguard of that army had reached two miles outside the city.It's strange that the army didn't light the torches, but if they wanted to attack, they shouldn't have made such a loud noise. It was still late at night, but the troops in the city did not dare to sleep. The Chinese troops were all stationed outside the south gate, and almost everyone was guessing about the unknown army. Marquis Wu has sent many scout soldiers, and at this time, those scouts came back one by one to report the news.The army set up camp about two miles away from the city, and most of the army continued to advance.They also carried the flag, and they couldn't see clearly in the dark, and they didn't send messengers to report, but the messengers they sent in the past fell into the sea like mud cows, and there was no more news.Then it must be the enemy.

At this time, a scolding soldier rushed to the top of the city, shouting: "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's a ghost!" Marquis Wu scolded in the tent: "Daying, kill this useless person who disturbs the morale of the army!" The scolding Hou was taken aback, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, those are not human beings, they are all monsters!" Snake man!That's the snake army!I had this idea almost right away.I looked at Lu Gongxing who was standing beside the first battalion, he also had a look of shock on his face.Probably he also suspected that it was a snake army.Qi Lie and the others were also a little frightened, but they were not as shocked as I was.

Marquis Wu just said in a deep voice in the tent: "Cut!" The eagle had already walked out of the tent and grabbed the scout's hair, and the scout screamed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm not lying... ..." Daying didn't let him finish speaking, he pulled out his knife, and chopped off his head with one stroke, the blood in the neck of the scab was spilled all over the floor.Da Ying handed the head to a soldier guarding the tent and said: "Hang this head on the top of the wall to give orders." At this time, Marquis Wu came out of the tent.We knelt on the ground together, he looked at us sternly, and said loudly: "Soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion, no matter who comes, are you confident to defeat them?"

There was a uniform shout from the vanguard battalion: "Yes!" I was also shouting, but I felt a little uneasy in my heart.One snake man is already so difficult to deal with, if there are really a hundred thousand snake men, wouldn't we be dead without a place to die? Tan Qing and the others who killed the snake man with me also calmed down at this moment.Marquis Wu said: "Kaicheng, the vanguard battalion will fight with it, and the Chinese army will hold the ground behind." Marquis Wu's tall body stood upright on the top of the city, as majestic as a god.Even if they are really some evil spirits from hell, they will be Pi Yi in front of Marquis Wu.I sneered, thinking that I was too cowardly.

The Qianfeng Battalion went down to the city in order, mounted their horses, and left the city in an orderly manner.At this time, a rider galloped over from the city.On the horse, I saw that this man was dressed in black armor, and he seemed to be a high-ranking officer. At this time, the three or four battalions were already in the lower city, and I was leading the brothers of the fifth battalion to gather in the lower city, when the black-armored knight was already rushing towards the top of the city, appearing to be in a hurry.He rushed to the top of the city, knelt in front of Marquis Wu, and said: "Your Majesty, Shen Xiping has something to ask you to do."

He is Shen Xiping?I was also slightly taken aback.Although Shen Xiping charged forward during the battle, I never saw him up close.At this moment, he is very close at hand, he doesn't look like a fierce general known as "Fire Tiger", but his appearance is very elegant, very much like a scholar.I don't know what will happen to find Junhou at this time. Marquis Wu said, "Xiping, what do you have to say?" At this time, it was our turn to go down to the city.I took eighty-three brothers from the Fifth Battalion down to the city, behind me, I couldn't hear what Shen Xiping said clearly.As soon as I arrived at the foot of the city, I saw a group of cavalry standing darkly on the side, and there seemed to be five or six hundred cavalry.The leader is Tian Wei.When he saw me, he smiled at me as a greeting.

At this moment, I suddenly understood Shen Xiping's reason for coming.Shen Xiping has 500 dragon-scale iron cavalry, which is equivalent to Wuhou's vanguard battalion in the right army, and has always been called the sharp-edged army of the empire.In Shen Xiping's battles against chaos in the past, this Dragon Scale Army has always been his magic weapon to charge and win.This time to pacify the Republican Army, most of the way was a battle to attack the city, and there were very few field battles. His Dragon Scale Army was almost useless, and the right army was the least in the credit list.This time it was going to be a field battle, and Shen Xiping probably wanted to take the credit for it.

We mounted our horses and went out the door.The Chinese soldiers have been stationed neatly under the city gate.When the vanguard battalion was fully assembled, Leigu ran out again and shouted loudly in front of the vanguard battalion: "Listen to the soldiers of the vanguard battalion. The Marquis of Wu has ordered that General Shen Xiping, the loyal uncle, be the vanguard. The vanguard battalion temporarily retreats a hundred steps. The general sweeps the formation." Sure enough, it came.I can't help being a little annoyed.Maybe it's because Tian Wei's arrogance still annoys me.I watched as Shen Xiping led his five hundred dragon scale army forward through our camp.

If you look at it without prejudice, Shen Xiping's Dragon Scale Army is indeed a strong army.These five hundred people are all strong and strong, all wearing black helmets and black armor.Their weapons are somewhat different from ours, half of which are long-handled knives.Perhaps, the Dragon Scale Army is best at charging. When charging, the power of long spears is not as powerful as that of broadswords. The sky was already getting brighter, and the light from the torches didn't look so bright.From the top of the city, the army is already very close, but from the bottom of the city, there is still a distance.From a distance, the dust and smoke billowed, almost filling the entire horizon.

Shen Xiping's Dragon Scale Army set up a square formation a hundred steps away from our formation.A hundred paces away, compared with the long line of smoke and dust in the distance, his small army is really like a drop in the ocean.Beside Shen Xiping, there were two infantrymen standing beside him carrying a bundle of spears. Shen Xiping is used to throwing spears on the battlefield.There are also quite a few generals who use spear throwing, and we have also practiced spear throwing in the military academy.But the spears generally used are small spears, not so much guns as thicker and longer arrows.The throwing spear Shen Xiping used was the stepping spear used by ordinary infantry, and the length of the spear was five feet and five inches.He has three stable boys, one carrying a large spear more than ten feet long for him, and the other two carrying twenty throwing spears each.He also participated in the battle of Han Luo's genocide. It is said that in the final decisive battle, the Dragon Scale Army took on the heavy responsibility of the first charge. One person caused Han Luo's army to shake their minds, and their positions were in chaos. The imperial army took advantage of the situation to launch a general offensive.If it weren't for Lu Jingyu's great achievements in that battle, Shen Xiping must have ranked first in terms of merits after the war.

At this time, the Dragonscale Army stood in front of the formation like cast iron, and a large banner fluttered in the wind.But I couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive. I have faced the snake man face to face, and I know the power of the snake man, which is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.If those were really snake people, would Shen Xiping still be able to show off his fiery and gale-like majesty? That army is near. The sky also began to brighten, and it could already be seen that the army was actually in the front with chariots. Chariots are not very unusual. Southern Xinjiang is not good for war horses, so cavalry troops are not used much, and horses are mostly used to tow chariots.However, the chariot does not rotate well, which is good for defense but not good for offense, and has never been used as a forward. Three hundred steps away from the Dragon Scale Army, the soldiers and horses stopped. In the twilight, there were no one knew how many long lines there were.Are those really the Snake Army?I tried my best to look over, but I couldn't see clearly in the flying dust. I could only see the cold light of many knives and guns faintly, in the billowing dust and smoke, but like stars mixed in the twilight. If they take advantage of this forward momentum to rush over at this time, even though we are waiting for work, can we really resist that kind of thunderous momentum?I can't help but feel a little worried.I don't know if Shen Xiping's Dragon Scale Army really has the legendary strength, but I thought to myself that with the strength of the Vanguard Battalion, even if they won't be completely defeated, they will be in chaos. The army remained motionless.Strangely enough, even though the army was in disarray and had no formation at all, in the twilight it looked like an iron wall, standing still.After a while, a chariot came out of the team. On this chariot, a large banner is flying in the wind. Day had begun to light.The chariot was clearly visible, and there was only one man in full armor on the chariot.He was holding the big flag in one hand and pulling the silk rein in the other. The car stopped more than a hundred steps away from the Dragon Scale Army. The people in the car stretched out their hands and planted the big flag on the ground. Even I could hear it "" With a sound of "cha", the flag was deeply inserted into the soil.I took a deep breath, and almost everyone let out a low exclamation. The flag was blown away by the wind, and on the flag were two people dressed in ancient clothes, but their lower bodies were snake bodies. That's not a big deal, the pattern on their flag isn't scary.The amazing thing is that person. The man was wearing a helmet and battle armor. He was no different when he was in the car, but when he got out of the car, we found that his lower body was exactly the same as that on the flag, and it was also a snake! It's really a snake man! Despite my premonition, when I actually faced an army of snakemen, I was so shocked that I could barely breathe.Lu Gongxing said that if there are ten thousand snake people, the world will be invincible.Now this snake army is more than 10,000, even if there are not 100,000, there are 20,000 to 30,000. Are we really going to die this time without a place to die? The snake man straightened up.Normally, the lower part of the snake's body is all on the ground, and the standing height is only a quarter of the total length, which is about the height of an ordinary person.At this time, he only had one-third of the snake body on the ground, and he was several times taller than a human at once.His upper body was exactly like a human, which made the scene even more eerie. The snake man held a spear in his hand.At this time, he pointed the spear at us. Even those who have not been on the battlefield know that this action is a challenge. Shen Xiping said loudly: "Tian Zhongjun, do you have confidence?" Tian Wei also said loudly: "Lord Shen, Tian Wei will not let you down!" He yelled so loudly that he let us hear him. Twenty battalions of our vanguard battalion are closely behind the Dragon Scale Army.When Tian Wei walked towards the front of the formation, the Dragon Scale Army shouted calmly and rhythmically: "Tian Wei! Tian Wei!" Almost at the same time, the forward battalion also shouted, like a Jiao Lei rolling past, the Chinese army behind There were also shouts in the big formation. It was daylight.When the dawn came, Tian Wei's shadow was long.He can be said to have the upper hand at this time, the snake man faces the sun, and his vision will be affected to some extent. Although I only see his back with a straight spear, I can also feel his arrogance looking down on all directions. But, I am not as optimistic as him. Why didn't the snake man launch a charge, but sent a person to challenge first?Perhaps, this is the first time the Snakeman has fought against the Imperial Army, and they should also try to test each other's strength.It can be said that the morale of the three armies is tied to Tian Wei. I don't have a good impression of Tian Wei, but I also hope that he can win with one blow. Tian Wei danced the spear above his head, and shouted: "Monster, try my gun!" As soon as he urged the horse, he rushed towards the snake man.He was dressed in black armor, his horse was fast, and his charging momentum was really as fast as thunder.Although Tian Wei is rude and arrogant, he does have some skills.Yesterday, if I had a duel with him, I wouldn't be sure of winning. From the looks of it, the snake man won't be cheap.No wonder Shen Xiping was so confident and asked Tian Wei to fight. At this time Tian Wei had arrived in front of the snake man.The snake man stepped down, his upper body and a section of abdomen stood upright, about the same height as Tian Wei.Tian Wei shouted: "Monster, die!" The spear in his hand stabbed at the snake man. When Wu Zhao taught us spear skills, he mentioned that spear skills include stabbing, smashing, touching, plundering, and poking, and spear stabbing can best exert the power of the gun.Wu Zhao once demonstrated to us that a shot with full concentration can pierce ten two-inch planks stacked together.Tian Wei's shot was not inferior to Wu Zhao's. If it wasn't for the fact that the strength of the two of them was not too great, they would never have dared to use this method.Tian Wei's spear is definitely not weak, if you want to grab the tip of the spear with one hand, then its strength is at least twice as strong as Tian Wei's.Is the power of this snake man really so great?I can't help being surprised. It was too late, and soon Tian Wei's gun was in front of the snake man.Although the snake man was powerful, he still couldn't grab his gun, and just pushed Tian Wei's gun away a little.This spear was flying like lightning, and it was piercing the snake man's shoulder. With a "cha", it pierced through the armor. A little blood came out. The snake man's shoulders were much narrower than that of a human, and Tian Wei's shot at most scratched the snake man's skin.But this shot made all the troops cheer in unison. After all, it was Tian Wei who stabbed the opponent first, which was a great boost to morale. Before the cheers fell, the snake man suddenly shot at Tian Wei.Looking at its spear, it is not inferior to Tian Wei's.Tian Wei seemed to be trying to pull the gun back on the horse, but his face was flushed red. The snake man's shot was about to hit him, Tian Wei had nothing to do right away.Even from such a distance, I could see the panic on his face. At this time, he had no other choice, he dropped the gun with both hands, and the man suddenly leaned back, the snake man's gun was passing through his face, but suddenly pressed down, this move was as fast as lightning and thunder, Tian Wei uttered a loud cry on the horse, and he had already rolled off the horse. In the formation, there was almost no sound at once.Although Tian Wei stabbed the snake man first, but the snake man's counterattack was frightening. No matter who it is now, it can only be said that Tian Wei has suffered a crushing defeat. I looked at Shen Xiping who was immediately in front of the battle, but his face remained the same as before, with no expression on his face.My heart moved, could it be that Tian Wei still has a way to turn defeat into victory? The snake man now has guns in both hands, and his right gun is already pressed on the horse's back. The horse suddenly let out a whimper, and its two front legs knelt on the ground, but its left pistol turned. At this time, the tip of the gun was already forward, and the gun came out of his hand and shot at Tian Wei who was lying on the ground. The speed of this shot is really as fast as lightning.The Dragon Scale Army and the Qianfeng Battalion exclaimed at the same time, Tian Wei stretched out his hand and grabbed the tip of the gun.But even if he grabbed the spear head, there was no way to stop the spear from being castrated. With all the strength of the snake man, the spear pierced into his chest and nailed Tian Wei to the ground. At this time, one rider in the Dragonscale Army shot out like lightning.Qi Lie whispered beside him: "It's Shen Xiping!" There was uncontrollable excitement in his voice. Shen Xiping's horse was extremely fast, and his stableboys couldn't keep up with him.In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the snake man, we saw nothing, only heard Shen Xiping shout: "Monster, die!" From his hand, it seemed like lightning shot out, and a spear shot out of his hand.The snake man let out a strange cry, and barely had time to react, the spear passed through his chest, and it was also nailed to the ground, almost exactly the same as Tian Wei.It roared on the ground, writhing desperately, its long body wrapped around the gun barrel, but the gun was almost half buried in the ground, unless the gun barrel was broken, it couldn't be pulled out at all. The snake man twisted, and suddenly, his body bowed like a rainbow. The gun passed through its body, and it actually stood up again. However, the straight gun on the ground seemed to be fished out of a lake of blood. , There is still blood dripping from the end of the gun, looking from my position, a gun is all dark red. Shen Xiping took the horse back a step, and suddenly shouted: "Die!" He also had several throwing guns under his command.This time, two throwing spears were thrown at the same time, the snake man was already inflexible, he was nailed to the ground again after being hit by both spears. This time, it couldn't break free anymore. What Shen Xiping did was very immoral, it was a sneak attack, and in fact it was very disrespectful to a samurai.But in the two armies, no one accused him, let alone dealing with such a monster.The morale of the army, who was still a little depressed by Tian Wei's defeat just now, suddenly improved again. Shen Xiping ignored Tian Wei who was still struggling on the ground, he pulled the reins, and the horse stood up.He shouted: "Heroes of the Dragon Scale Army, charge!" It was like a thunderbolt struck in the sky, the Dragon Scale Army let out a loud roar, and the five hundred black-armored knights rushed up like a tide. Five hundred people is really an insignificant number when the army is facing each other.But the Dragon Scale Army made people feel that it was simply an overwhelming torrent, unstoppable.Those shiny black armors gleamed in the sun, making the whole team look like a long arrow, piercing straight into the enemy's formation. With the charge of the dragon scale army, the Chinese army behind us has already charged up.However, Lu Gongxing had not yet issued an order to charge.I watched the Chinese army rushing up behind me, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.Those who retreat before the battle will be cut, this is the military order of Marquis Wu.Not charging with the army is also a capital offense.I patted my horse a few steps forward and said, "Lu Tongzhi, why don't you charge forward?" Lu Gongxing was staring at the Dragon Scale Army that rushed into the Snakeman Army. He turned his head and said, "Do you think it's time to charge now?" I looked across.The Dragon Scale Army's charge was like a huge wave, as if it was going to crush everything in its way, but the chaotic Snake Army didn't change much.The army pressing down on the horizon is like an unfathomable pool that can swallow anything thrown into it. I was a little suspicious: "They didn't use all their strength?" Lu Gongxing nodded heavily, and said, "They seem to be still testing." "Why didn't they launch an attack first? They are still probing, so they have lost the opportunity." Lu Gongxing said slowly: "I don't know. I think the person who tamed these snake people is really a remarkable person." At this time, the Chinese army had rushed up.I said: "Lu Tongzhi, if you don't charge again, it will be difficult to explain to Marquis Wu!" Lu Gongxing lowered his head in pain, and said, "I can't." "why?" I'm a little weird.At this time, Pu Anli also came over and shouted: "Lu Tongzhi, why don't you charge?" Lu Gongxing took a look at us, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, charge!" We couldn't help being a little excited when we brought the horse back, and Pu Anli even smiled at me.At this time, I heard Lu Gongxing shout loudly: "Brothers, charge, be careful!" I was a bit annoyed that there was never any "be careful" kind of thing when charging.No matter what Lu Gongxing thought of, saying these discouraging words at this time really messed up the morale of the army.I brought the horse to Qi Lie's side and said, "Let's go!" The buglers of the 1st Battalion in the vanguard sounded the charge horn.The charge horn of the Qianfeng Battalion was specially made with a big ox horn, and it was blown deep and deep.When it was blown at this time, it was a bit like a Jiao Lei rolling over the heads of the crowd, and the heavy and noisy sound of the Chinese army rushing up behind could not cover up the bursts of horns at all. I took the horse and said: "Xiao Lie, follow me!" My Guanri bow is too big and too heavy, so I usually only let him hold it. My horse only has a long spear and a siege ax hanging on it, and ten arrows on my back.The siege ax is not very useful now, if you need to use the longbow, you must have him by your side. When I rushed up, I caught up with Pu Anli's third battalion and caught up with Lu Gongxing's first battalion.When the vanguard battalions charge, they all line up in a triangular formation of four rows. The first battalion is at the forefront, the second, third, and second battalions follow closely behind, the fourth, fifth, and sixth battalions again, followed by three battalions, and then go down in order. Each platoon is four battalions.This is exactly the assault formation recorded in the fifth volume of Na Tingtian's "Seven Essentials of the March", "Array Map".But now the charge is in disarray, and the battalions behind are actually faster than the forwards. What exactly is Lu Gongxing doing? I couldn't help but get angry.Could it be that he was really frightened by the snake man? At this time, we have rushed to the front of the snake man formation. When I saw the snake man, I couldn't help shivering. Not many of those snake men wore armor, and most of them still had green scales on their bodies, but they held strange weapons in their hands. They had almost everything, and some were even unarmed.The Dragon Scale Army was fighting bloody battles, but it could be seen that their strength was exhausted, and the whole army was divided into several sections. There were only a few dozen black armored knights around Shen Xiping, and the rest were fighting on their own.Although not many people died in battle, they could no longer make half a step forward. If the Dragon Scale Army is a nail, then this nail is driven into a piece of pig iron now. Are those monsters really so powerful?Even the Dragon Scale Army, which is famous all over the world, also suffered a lot.I couldn't help being a little startled, but in my heart, I was somewhat gloating. When the vanguard battalion rushed into the formation, we all shouted loudly.This shout shocked the Longlin Army, Lu Gongxing shouted: "Brothers from Qianfeng Battalion, protect General Shen first." As soon as his words fell, Pu Anli shouted: "If you have the guts, follow me and break through the central army of these monsters!" He might also be a little dissatisfied with Lu Gongxing's timidity. The middle army of that Snakeman Army surrounded the center of the formation, and I don't know how many Snakemen surrounded them.To defeat the Chinese army is like a fool's dream.But I couldn't help but hesitate, Pu Anli had already rushed forward. The fifth battalion had already rushed to the second floor. Pu Anli rushed forward, and several centurions of his party also rushed from behind.I turned around in my mind, waved my gun, and said, "Brothers, charge up!" Lu Gongxing's first battalion is already fighting the snake people.When we rushed over, we saw a soldier of the first battalion being shot through the chest by a snake man and fell off his horse.I gritted my teeth, and as soon as I urged the horse, the man rushed over. The soldier of the first battalion was still hanging on the spear of the snake man, and he seemed to be standing on the ground with his lower body easily.Ordinary people can't do this at all. No matter how light a person is, it weighs more than a hundred catties. It hangs on the head of the gun. To hold it so easily, the arm must have more than a thousand catties of strength.The soldier was not dead yet, but his mouth and nose were bleeding, so he definitely couldn't survive. I held the gun with both hands as my horse charged at it, and put all my strength into it. In terms of strength, I am definitely no match for the snake man. When I was entangled by the snake man that day, it was like being bound by iron chains, and I couldn't move at all. But I know that my speed is above the snake man.At this time, I can only use my own speed and the speed of the horse together to have a slight chance of winning. Seeing me rushing over, the snake man turned his head to my side.Its eyes are light yellow, not quite like human eyes, as cold as two ice cubes.It flicked the gun, and the soldier of the first battalion on the gun suddenly flew towards me very quickly. If I use a gun to remove this corpse, the speed will definitely slow down.When I rushed towards the snake man, I already expected it to do this.My legs caught the horse's back, and I suddenly fell to the right side of the horse. I was tightly leaning on the right belly of the horse. At this moment, the corpse "suddenly" flew over the horse's back.If I'm slow, the body is hitting me right now. I almost came face to face with the corpse as it flew over the horse's back.On the face of the corpse, there was a look of astonishment and fear. Perhaps, the soldier was also afraid before he died. I couldn't help thinking about it anymore, and the horse had already rushed to the side of the snake man.I didn't straighten up either, and stabbed the snake man in the chest with a single shot. My own strength is not too great, but with the momentum of the horse, I am confident that I will not be inferior to Shen Xiping's spear throwing.The snake man slowed down, maybe it didn't expect it at all, or it didn't think at all, the corpse thrown out didn't slow me down at all, and I couldn't react, my gun was already in its chest. The snake man sent his gun sideways forward, as if he wanted to seal my gun away.But my gun was much faster and stronger than it, and as soon as it was raised, mine was in front of it, with the tip resting on its barrel. At this distance, even if it raised its own gun, the end of my spear hit its head exactly.It probably also found itself in a desperate situation, and a trace of fear flashed in those cold eyes. Just like people. Just as I was thinking, with a "poof", the tip of the gun had already plunged into something hard. That was the left arm of the snake man. It dodged after the final pass, past the vitals, but not the left arm. The tip of my gun is half as long as normal, and the tip is almost like a thick double-edged knife.I sent my left hand forward, and the barrel of the gun rested on my left arm. When I pressed the handle of the gun with my right hand, my gun was picked up, and with a "cha", I scratched off its left arm at the root, leaving only a little The skin is attached. Its blood splashed, and a few drops fell on my face, but it was cold. The snake man's left arm was useless, and he could no longer hold the gun.At this time, my horse had already joined the snake man, I drew my gun, and while the snake man was a little numb, I shot back and stabbed him. The speed of this gun can no longer borrow horsepower, and the speed has slowed down a lot. As soon as I stabbed with the gun, I felt like a weight of weight was being pulled on my hand, almost dragging me off the horse.I clamped the horse's back, but the mount couldn't run forward anymore, and the horse stood up suddenly. Is it stuck to the wood?I pulled the gun hard, but the gun seemed to have taken root, and there was a pulling force backwards. I glanced back.But it was the snake man who grabbed the end of my gun with his remaining right hand. The power of the snake man was so great, which surprised me.It pulled hard, and I almost fell off the horse by it.I took advantage of the gesture and let go, the gun has been taken away by it.I didn't wait for the snake man to stab me with my gun again, I reached out to touch the siege ax hanging in front of the horse, my feet came out of the stirrup, and I jumped vigorously, and the man stood in front of the horse, taking advantage of the situation with my right hand dumped. This ax hit the snake man's neck. The snake man's neck was very thick and short, but I used all my strength with this axe, and with a "crack", I chopped open the snake man's neck.It could no longer fight back at this time, and blood spurted from the wound on its neck again. Still cold blood, just slightly warm.For some reason, I suddenly thought a little sarcastically, if snake people have some kind of "hot-blooded boy" like humans, then maybe they should be called "cold-blooded boy". I can't help thinking about it, I just killed this snake man, and a spear stabbed me from the side. At this time, my horse hadn't stood up yet, and I was still standing on the horse's back. The gun pierced my lower abdomen, and I knew I couldn't dodge it. The man was on the side of the horse, and the siege ax was stained with snake blood. Turned around again, and with a sound, the spear head was cut off. The snake man didn't hesitate at all, and the gun without a tip still stabbed at me.This shot is very powerful, otherwise I wouldn't be able to cut off the end of the gun so simply.If the snake man would think about it, he must also think that he can stab me through with just a wooden stick. At this point I was sitting on the horse.I thought this ax could block the spear, but I didn't expect to cut off the spear head.At this time, if you want to hide, it is too late. Using an ax to block back, the strength is definitely not enough.As soon as I gritted my teeth, I took advantage of the situation and threw the siege ax out. At the same time, I turned my body sideways. My battering ax hit the snake man on the head.I didn't feel very good when I did this series of movements when I first came, but I was wearing heavy armor, and I suddenly felt exhausted at this moment.But no matter how weak it was, the ax was still an axe, and this ax split its head in two.And almost at the same time, the gun with the broken end also stabbed me in the left abdomen. I turned sideways in time, and the gun shot passed along the armor blade, but through the battle armor, I only felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, as if someone had been stabbed. Before I could move again, a snake man suddenly appeared in front of the horse's head. Like the snake man who came out to challenge just now, this snake man only has one-third of his body on the ground. At this time, it is more than half taller than me sitting on the horse.I subconsciously reached out to touch the place where the gun was held in front of the horse, but only found nothing, and then suddenly realized that my gun was taken away by it when I killed the first snake man just now. At this point, I am unarmed. Looking at that snake man, I just felt cold all over. The snake man held a spear in his hand and was about to aim at me.I know that my strength is by no means as strong as that of the snake man. Now that the horse has stood still, I can no longer use horsepower to compete with the snake man. But I used too much force just now, and now I am a little bit out of strength. I closed my eyes. In my ear, I suddenly heard Qi Lie say: "General, be careful! Be careful!" I was taken aback, and immediately opened my eyes, only to see the snake man falling towards me.As soon as I pulled the rein, the horse retreated a few steps, and the snake man fell to the ground with a "bang". On its back, there is a throwing gun! It was Shen Xiping who saved me.I couldn't help but look over gratefully, only to see Shen Xiping standing in front of me a dozen steps away. A dozen or so steps is usually a short distance, but Shen Xiping is the only one who can shoot such a powerful throwing spear.At this time, Qi Lie had picked up my spear and said, "General..." I just took over the spear, but I saw four snake men attacking Shen Xiping together. Probably because Shen Xiping just threw a gun to save me, Shen Xiping still held the gun with one hand, and the guns of the four snake men stabbed at him from four directions at the same time.All I could hear was a soldier of the Dragon Scale Army shouting, "My lord, be careful!" The dragon scale army held a big knife in his hand.He was originally on the right side of Shen Xiping, he slashed down, and a snake man on the right was slashed in the head by him, but the other three spears pierced into Shen Xiping's nail at the same time, and one spear even went through his body, piercing out. behind. I yelled, and the Dragon Scale Army also yelled almost at the same time.But he saw Shen Xiping swaying on the horse, reaching out to draw his saber, but as soon as he put his hand on his waist, his upper body tilted, and he fell off the horse. Shen Xiping died in battle! It was almost like a thunderbolt.Although I don't think the Dragon Scale Army will definitely win, I never thought that Shen Xiping would die in this battle.It almost left me stunned and motionless. In the Dragon Scale Army, an officer cried out, "My lord! My lord is dead!" This is almost like an invisible rope, binding the Dragon Scale Army who was still fighting just now.Immediately, there were many screams of pain in the battle formation, most likely because the Dragon Scale Army who stopped in their hands was chopped off by the snake man. I didn't know where the strength came from, so I shouted: "Follow me!" and rushed forward. The snake people probably also knew that our general was killed in battle, so they all swam here at once.I picked up the weapons of the two snake men and rushed to the place where Shen Xiping was killed in battle. Shen Xiping's body was already in the hands of a snake man. Two dragon scale troops were rushing forward to grab it back. A snake man has blocked their way.I said: "Xiao Lie, give me the Sun Piercing Bow!" Qi Lie threw the sun-piercing bow behind me.As soon as I took it, he jumped up, he was in the air, and he didn't have time to draw the arrow, so he put the gun on the bow, pulled it away with all his strength, aimed at the snake man holding Shen Xiping's body, and shouted: :"break!" At such a distance, this arrow is definitely more powerful than Shen Xiping's throwing spear.The gun flew out of the string, hit the snake man, and nailed it to the ground.I sat back on the horse, threw my bow at Qi Lie, and said back, "Give me the axe!" Qi Lie took the bow and the axe, but he didn't know how to give it to me.I said, "Throw it over!" At this time, I had already rushed to Shen Xiping's corpse, two snake men held up their guns to stop me, and they stabbed out with both guns at the same time.I was in a hurry, and I didn't have a weapon in my hand. As soon as I pulled the rein, the horse just stood still, and the two spears of the snake man pierced the chest of the horse. Without waiting for the horse to fall, I kicked my feet and got out of the stirrup.At this moment, the sound of the wind was heard, and the battle ax circled past the head.It's just that I'm stepping down now, the ax is thrown so high, how can I get it? At this time, there was a "bang", and the two snake men couldn't help but look up.I saw a short arrow hit the siege axe, the ax lost its circling momentum, but still flew forward.I heard Tan Qing shouting from the side: "General, go on!" It was the brothers from the fifth battalion who came to meet me.At this moment just now, I was almost fighting alone, but now I feel certain.I grabbed the tomahawk thrown by Tan Qing and rushed forward. The snake man was standing very high in order to fight with me on horseback, but at this time I was stepping down.While their spears were still on the horse, I slashed at the snake man on the left with an axe. When the ax fell, the snake man also let out a strange cry, and a large and long body fell backwards.The other snake man was about to fight back, but three or four arrows shot at its head at the same time, and two of them hit its eyes. Before I could make another move, a long spear pierced its chest.I only heard Lu Gongxing say: "General Chu, are you alright?" It's the Vanguard Battalion here!I was overjoyed and was about to speak when I saw a snake man with a sweeping knife dragging Shen Xiping's body back. If it retreats into the snakeman brigade, I'm afraid we won't be able to get it back. We probably all had this thought, and almost all of us rushed towards the snake man.Lu Gongxing and I were the closest. Lu Gongxing was on the horse, so it was inconvenient to move forward, but I was the one who rushed to Shen Xiping's corpse first. superior. The snake man held Shen Xiping's head between his arms and was dragging backwards.I grabbed Shen Xiping's foot, and the siege ax in my right hand flew out.I know that as long as I catch Shen Xiping, someone will help me deal with the attacks of other snake people. Seeing my ax coming, the snake man suddenly let go of his hands.I was pulling Shen Xiping with all my strength, but this one made me stagger backwards.I was about to drag Shen Xiping's body over with all my strength, but I saw that snake man grabbed Shen Xiping's armor and chopped it off with a single knife, even beheading Shen Xiping's head. I yelled, and was about to rush forward to snatch back Shen Xiping's head, when the snake man retreated abruptly, dodging into the rushing crowd of snakes.Before walking away, he actually smiled at me. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.At this time, Lu Gongxing had already rushed over, and there was a small soldier beside him with an empty horse, he said: "General Chu, take Master Shen, and retreat quickly!" I hugged Shen Xiping's body and got on the horse.路恭行叫道：“诸军退后，前锋营押阵！” 此时，他的话已是至高无上的命令。我们纷纷退去，那些蛇人要向前冲来，却有前锋营拼命抵住。 诸军且战且走，已到了城下。龙鳞军的残部护着我退入城中。 我们一到护城河边，城头已箭如雨下。蛇人至此，才慢慢退去。 在城头上，我从肩上卸下沈西平那无头的尸身，交给了一个龙鳞军军官。那军官抱着沈西平的尸身，突然哭道：“大人！” 龙鳞军此时还只剩残兵二百余，现在都在城头。他们齐齐跪下，齐声道：“大人！” 武侯已在城头，面沉似水。这时，中军带兵统领，威远伯莫振武跑上城头，跪下道：“君侯……” 武侯只是挥了挥手，道：“商量沈将军的后事吧。” 他的脸上带着寒意，却也有几分落寞。我只觉武侯此时，似有许多话要说，却又一言不发。武侯看了我一眼，没说什么，转身走进他的营帐，那两个形影不离的亲兵大鹰小鹰跟着他进去。 I looked back.此时，诸军已退入城中，城门正慢慢关上。 不知为什么，我眼前又浮现起那个砍落沈西平头颅的蛇人。退走前那个蛇人的一笑，似乎和人阴险的笑没什么不同。 即使是时近正午，我不由得浑身皆是寒意。 城头上望下去，那一片空地上，交错的都是些蛇人和帝国军士兵的尸身，到处是破碎的兵器，似乎将土地盖了一层，都看不出原来的颜色，血流得到处都是。即使是我身上，血也在战甲上凝结了，象在铁甲外披了一层暗红的披风。 可是，不管是人的热血，还是蛇人那种只带一点暖意的冷血，混在一起时，却再也分不清了。
