Chapter 8 Chapter Seven Wings and Fly

The flag cannot be cut off. I suddenly had this idea.I have an intuition that those snake men hadn't forgotten to take this big flag with them when they retreated in the temporary camp, so they must regard this flag more than their lives.Now, their exclamation seems to be because the flag is about to be cut off by me. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little proud.If this is so, I undoubtedly have a talisman to my great advantage.I turned my right hand a few times, wrapped the rope around my wrist, pulled the big flag up a little, and continued to climb up. The flagpole is very high when viewed from below, but it doesn't feel too high when viewed from above.I tied the big flag to the top of the pole, so that if it falls, I will lose a protective body.On the top of the flagpole, Shen Xiping's head was hanging there, fluttered by the wind.I reached out and took Shen Xiping's head and tied it to my waist.

The wind is blowing, and I feel a bit cool on the top of the flagpole.Only then did I settle down, coiled on the flagpole to stabilize myself, and looked around. The snake man's tent is set up in this open space in the woods.Looking at it from above, it stretches for several miles, and I don't know how many snake people there are.Those camps were neatly arranged and stretched to the distance, but according to the practice of the imperial army, this camp could only accommodate ten to twenty thousand people at most.However, the tents of the snake people can probably accommodate more. In one tent, I saw more than 30 snake people swimming out.

In the dim twilight, it was not clear how many tents there were.A pine tree was lit in the middle of two or three camps, dotted with dots. I counted them quickly, and there must be thousands of them. Even if there are not a hundred thousand of those snake people, are there fifty or sixty thousand?But why didn't they attack with all their strength after several attacks?I can't help feeling suspicious.If the snake man used all his strength for the first time, then we probably couldn't resist it. The wind is a little cold.On the top of the flagpole, the big flag was blown straight by the wind, making a "squeaky" sound, like the sound of running water.I looked to the northeast.

Seeing that I no longer want to cut the flag, those snake people seemed to be relieved. Several snake people gathered together and seemed to be discussing something. Do snake people also talk?I suddenly remembered the sentence I heard just now.Those words were in Imperial language, not very pure, but it was Imperial language after all.Well, snake people can talk. Talking, or a beast? I couldn't help shivering.In the past, I always felt that I was fighting against a group of wild beasts, and I didn't think much of them. Now, apart from the difference in appearance, what is the difference between snake people and humans?Are snake people cruel?The Republican Army, which claims to put people first, will eat people when the city is running out of food, let alone the Imperial Army, which kills people like a mess, so what is there to be proud of?

At this time, a snake man has climbed up along the flagpole.The flagpole was as thick as an arm, and the snake man's lower body was wrapped around the flagpole, holding a long spear in both hands, and he didn't climb very fast. My Baipi Dao is only one cubit long, and it is only a waist saber. In terms of length, it cannot compare with the Snakeman's long spear.Although the snake man attacked from the bottom up, the terrain was unfavorable, but its long spear could attack me, but I could only defend. After a long time, I would definitely not be its opponent. At this time, the situation was extremely critical, and I had an idea, I stretched out the knife, and cut a length of rope from the thick rope, one end was tied in a knot on the ring of the knife, and the other end was looped around my wrist. Knot, holding the handle of the knife, stared at the snake man who was climbing up.

The snake man stopped a few feet away from me and stared up at me.Its eyes are yellow and turbid, with a kind of indifference, which looks like the eyes of a dead person. Suddenly, it sent its hands away and stabbed it with a gun. The shot pierced my lower abdomen.I put my legs on the flagpole, and when the tip of the gun came over, I grabbed the flagpole with my left hand, tapped the flagpole with my foot, and swung away with my strength. This is a very risky step.Although I was still holding the flagpole with my left hand, if I missed it, I would fall, but I succeeded.The snake man's spear pierced through the air, and he swung the spear outward like a wooden stick.

Now I only hold the flagpole with my left hand, my whole body is dangling in the air, there is no way to hide, and the snake man probably thinks that I must die, so he swung the spear without any scruples. I aimed at the tip of its spear, and with my left hand, I slammed off the flagpole, grabbed a section of the gun shaft under the point of the gun, and swung my feet back to the flagpole at this time.As soon as I felt that my toes touched the flagpole, I crossed my feet and clasped them tightly on the flagpole. At this time, the entire body was almost horizontal, forming a triangle with the gun.The snake man tried to swing the gun out, trying to throw me away from the flagpole, but it grabbed the tail of the gun, and if I exerted a little force, it had to use a lot of force to defeat my strength. How could it move?

Naturally, the snake man would not understand this truth, it just tried to fight me with brute force, I couldn't help but sneered.Even if the snake people have turned into humans, they are still just stupid, not smart enough after all. But having said that, the snake man's strength is still astonishing, I just feel that it is a little bit weak against it with one-handed strength.Before the gun was out of my hand, I yelled: "Current!" The knife in my right hand slammed down. These few times are just a matter of a very short period of time.The snake man was holding the gun with both hands, and his face was completely exposed. It didn't expect me to have this hand at all. The Baipi knife fell with the sound of wind and thunder. It let out a cry of surprise, left the gun with both hands, and grabbed the blade .The Baipi Knife blew its hair and broke its hair, the knife fell and cut off two of its fingers at once, but it had already been clamped by its two palms.

The spear in my left hand suddenly lost its strength. How can I keep my body level by relying on my two feet?People also fell sharply.I clamped the flagpole tightly with my feet and tried desperately to clamp it with my legs, but my body was still falling.Originally, the snake man was no more than three or four feet away from me, but I arrived in front of the snake man in one fell swoop. The snake man was still holding the Baipi knife in both hands, I stretched out my right palm, pressed the handle of the knife, and pushed it down violently. This time, apart from my own strength, it also carried my weight, the snake man couldn't hold the knife this time, and the Baipi knife went between its eyes and pierced straight into the brain.The snake man yelled, and a huge body slid down. I retracted my right hand, and the rope on my wrist came out of the snake man's face with the Baipi knife. The flagpole was also bloody.

Borrowing the power of this palm, I stopped my fall. My legs had already clamped the flagpole, and before I could grab the knife back in my hand, I turned over, grabbed the flagpole with my right hand, and turned my head upwards again. Climbed two steps. This attack and defense was only for a moment, but to me it seemed like a long time, and my heart couldn't stop beating wildly.But after all, I still won, and I took a spear, which can be said to be a complete victory. The group of snake men gathered around, lifted up the half-dead snake man, and some of them looked up.The sky was still dark and the dawn was dim, but it could be seen that there was a little fear in the eyes of those snake men.

I hugged the flagpole with my left arm, and shook my right hand. The Baipi knife drew an arc and jumped up. I grabbed the handle of the knife.On the blade, the blood does not stick to the edge, but only flows on it.I wiped the weird-looking flag, and calmed down, with an unprecedented pride rising in my heart. If I still had the fear of the snake man in my heart before, now the fear is gone.It is also because facing a desperate situation, people will put life and death aside even more. At this time, another snake man came out more and more, climbing up to the flagpole.At this time, I have already determined that the big flag is extremely important to them. Maybe those snake men killed me for the first time, but it is the master who captures the flag.Otherwise, if they cut down the flagpole, I will be turned into a meatloaf, and it will not be so troublesome at all.Although the snake people are stupid, they will not even think of this.I couldn't help but rejoice that I made the right choice. If I just climbed another elevated road, I'm afraid I would have already become ashes. The snake man slowly climbed up.The blood of the snake man was smeared on the flagpole just now, even the snake man climbed a little hard, but the snake man came up step by step without flinching. The snake man must have been wary of the snake man's death just now.It took every step extremely carefully, and did not dare to take its eyes off me. The tip of the gun was not far from its head. If I attacked, it would immediately counterattack. The spear in my left hand was aimed at it, and the Baipi knife in my right hand was still ready to go.It is very inflexible to only rely on two legs to cross the flagpole, and I can no longer dodge its gun like before, so the only way is to kill the snake man before it can threaten me. Having said that, it would certainly not be easy to kill this snake man. The snake man's body stretched and contracted, just like a snake, and it was slowly climbing up.The blood on the flagpole was a little dry just now, and its body would not be as slippery as it was when it first climbed up, but it climbed more slowly. After five feet away, the snake man stopped. The spear was seven feet long, and could hit me at this position, and my spear was as long as it, and I could hit it just as well.The difference is that it hit me in the leg and I hit it in the head. It is hesitating.It seems that it is beneficial to become like a human being, but it also lacks the bravery of a wild beast that is not afraid of death. I didn't wait for it to think too much, and stabbed it in the head with a gun.I am on top and it is on the bottom, I have the advantage of the ground, plus I am the first to strike first, even if it is a snake man whose strength is several times stronger than mine, it will be difficult to deal with. The snake man's lower body was curled up on the flagpole, and suddenly his upper body moved halfway outward, like a slanted branch growing from a tree.My spear missed, but I retracted it immediately, and stabbed again.I didn't use all my strength in this shot. Its upper body dodged my long spear, but it couldn't stab me anymore. The second shot was aimed at its chest. Although the snake man's chest is not as wide as that of a human, it is not easy to get out of the way.Its upper body protruded obliquely from the flagpole, and its chest was just exposed in front of me. It was like a target for me. Although it was only my left hand, it didn't dare to press hard from the top to the bottom. The body stepped back again. I retracted my gun and rested my strength.I am on the flagpole, the terrain is extremely favorable, and those snake people can only attack one after another if they want to attack me.But fighting alone, I am confident that I can kill them when the terrain is not dominant, let alone in this kind of place. The only worry is that if those snake people no longer care about this strange flag, then I will be trapped in this advantageous position, and I will only have to wait for death.Fortunately, those snake people seem to respect this flag very much. When I smeared the blood of snake people on the flag, they were all resentful, and the snake people who climbed up almost focused on the flag. At this time, the snake man who retreated a few steps began to squirm up again. It must not be willing to be forced back by me like this.Although the snake people are somewhat human-like and have a fearful heart, they are much braver than humans after all.It's just that this snake man is extremely cautious, it's not easy for me to kill it. I looked at the top of the flagpole. The top of the flagpole was no different from the flagpole of the Imperial Army. There was a pulley on the top, which was exquisitely made, and the rope passed through the pulley.There used to be a thick one and two thin ones, the thin one bound Shen Xiping's head, I had cut off it, the rest fell on the ground, the thick one was still tied to the flagpole, and tied into a thick knot , my foot is stepping on that knot. The snake man had already pushed forward two more steps. At this time, it held the gun in both hands and stared at me.I held the gun in my left hand, the knife in my right hand, and my right arm was still embracing the flagpole. It didn't move for a moment, but just stared at me motionlessly. I couldn't help shivering.The snake man looks like a human to some extent, but upon closer inspection, he is really far from a human being. We are almost face to face now, and I don't dare to look too much. I feel that the yellow eyes of the snake man are like two flames, which seem to be about to ignite. For some reason, I felt dizzy after a while, and my eyelids just wanted to close.While I was in a daze for a while, my mind froze, I didn't know well, but my head seemed to be filled with lead water, and it was so heavy that I couldn't lift it. Even if I'm sleepy and tired, it won't be like this.I opened my eyes, but I couldn't open them. Deep down, I knew that if I continued like this, I would be tantamount to death. In a moment of stupor, I moved my fingers. The fingers also seem to be bound by something, but they can still move somewhat.With just a movement of his right hand, Baipi Dao came out.Even though I was half asleep and half awake, I couldn't help screaming. I only felt a slight tingling pain in my leg, but it wasn't very obvious, but the slight pain was accompanied by a sudden shock, as if being poured on the head. I opened my eyes with a bucket of ice water. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that the spear had already stabbed in front of me.The snake man found out that my Baipi knife was out of his hands, so he knew it was a good opportunity. My right hand was empty, but my left hand was still holding the long gun. When I blocked it with my left hand, there was a "snap", and the two guns collided. He hugged the flagpole, but the gun flew out from the snake personality. As soon as the weapon was out of hand, I didn't know that the snake man's long spear had stabbed at once, and there was a slight and sharp whistle on the tip of the spear. That was the sound of the tip of a gun piercing through the air.This shot stabbed me, it must have been a double pass.As soon as I gritted my teeth and let go of my hand, I jumped off the flagpole and fell down like a stone. After falling two feet, I was already parallel to the tip of the snake man's spear, and immediately stretched out my right hand to grab the barrel of the spear.This is almost exactly the same as before, but the snake man moved faster than before. As soon as I stretched out my hand, the gun retracted, and my right hand caught nothing. Are you going to die? My right hand was faster than I thought, grabbing the rope that tied the flag.There is still a very long piece of this rope, and it is coiled into a big knot on the flagpole. I grabbed the end of the knot, and the snake man's spear came up again. This time, the snake man even attacked his body.It must have felt that I was at the end of my rope and had nothing to do but wait for death, but this shot pierced my lower abdomen. In the snake man's mind, maybe that strange flag is far more important than me, so there is no need to keep me alive. I only hold the rope with one hand in my right hand, and my left hand is empty. The Baipi Dao is tied to my right wrist. Although my left hand is holding the handle of the knife, since the rope tied to the knife is only as long as one person, this The knife can only reach the distance of my thigh at most. At this time, the snake man's spear had reached my lower abdomen. I don't know where the strength came from, the knife in my left hand slashed backhand suddenly, trying to cut the rope that bound the knife, but I moved too fast, and the knife cut the knot on the flagpole instead.The Baipi knife blew the hair and broke the hair. This knife cut the knot into pieces. The rope held by the right hand was loosened, and the person was dangling in the air. The snakeman's spear pierced me, but I had no way to dodge it, and I was only able to hold on to the rope with my right hand.In a flash in my mind, I kicked my foot violently and hit the gun shaft. My body flew out like a small stone tied to a rope, and the snake man's gun also pierced the air. up. The snake man had changed from his cautiousness just now, and jumped up to the top of the flagpole, already taller than me. At this moment, it raised the spear above its head with one hand, as if it was going to stab me. At this time, I am not as high as it is, and the advantage of the terrain has been lost. One hand is still holding the rope, and I am swinging back like a swing. Its shot is probably waiting for me. When I swung to the edge of the flagpole, the snake man stabbed down with a sharp shot. I swung it violently, trying to pass the shot, but the attack was too fast, and I only let it pass the top of the head. The snake man stabbed my left arm , with a "poof", it was pierced through, the tip of the gun pierced two inches from the other end of the left arm, and the blood shot out like water, and the left arm seemed to be driven into a big nail, and it seemed to be put on it. A fire, strangely enough, didn't feel much pain. That must be the effect of Wangyou fruit powder.When I came here, I asked the medical officer for some Wangyou fruit powder, half of which was applied to the wound, and the other half was swallowed.The doctor said that the Wangyou fruit powder has no effect on closing the wound, but it has a miraculous effect on pain relief. After taking it, the effect will be better, but it is addictive and should not be taken more.When I came, as long as the wound was no longer painful, I didn't care if I was addicted or not, and I took a lot.Now it seems that it really has a miraculous effect. With the toss just now, I was swaying like in a storm.But when the gun stabbed me, it gave me an idea, and I immediately had an idea.I gritted my teeth and put my foot on the flagpole.The snake man withdrew his gun at this time, and when the gun was pulled out of my left arm, it was bloody and bloody. I didn't care about anything, the man swayed to the side suddenly, and suddenly, like a spinning top, it spun around the flagpole. My right hand was still holding the rope. This time around, the rope just tied the snake man around.The snake man must have understood my thoughts, and wanted to pull the rope wrapped around it with his left hand, but at this time I had turned around for the second time, and the rope tied its left hand inside. Because my whole body was hung on the rope, the two loops were very tight, and the snake man couldn't break free despite his great strength.I only heard it let out a muffled cry, and before it could react, I touched the flagpole with my foot, and swung around the flagpole twice. The strange flag is very heavy, but this rope is extremely strong. After wrapping it around four times, I have risen a lot and reached the snake man's chest.When I looked up, I saw that its hands were entangled, unable to move, but its head could move around, spit out a blood red forked tongue, showing sharp white teeth, as if it wanted to bite me, but Can't get down. My heart trembled, but I only felt my body lighten, and the person was thrown in the opposite direction. The length of the rope left behind is not too long, and after winding four times, it is no longer possible to tie a knot, and at this time there is a tendency to loosen in the opposite direction.When I moved my body, I felt something was wrong. I grabbed the Baipi Dao hanging under my ribs with my left hand, and wanted to stab the snake man's chest, but only a little bit under the snake man's scales, and I heard the snake man scream. He yelled loudly, but he only felt that his arm was weak, and his body turned too fast, how could he stab?That shot had pierced my left arm. Although I didn't feel much pain, how can I use my strength after suffering such a serious injury? I just feel that people have turned in the opposite direction.The few circles that wrapped around the snake man just now were in vain. The knife in the left hand touched the flagpole after turning half a circle. That green scales. After turning around for the third time, I sighed, knowing that I had no power to recover, I let go of my left hand, and Baipi Dao fell down again.The knife was dangling from my right wrist, and fell so it was level with my knee.Looking at it, the knife was weak, and the legs were also weak. I saw a not-so-deep wound on my thigh. It must be the tingling pain I felt in a daze just now. At this time, I saw that the snake man's body was sliding down.Is it going to come down and kill me?I couldn't help closing my eyes, thinking that death was imminent, and I was just waiting for the fatal shot to come. Unexpectedly, the sound of the snake man sliding down was still ringing.I opened my eyes, just in front of me was the long spear in the snake man's hand. I grabbed it with my left hand, but the snake man didn't try to grab it back. What's going on at this time? I was a little baffled, but I heard an exclamation from the snake man camp below, but my top priority at this time was to gain a firm foothold as soon as possible.I wrapped my feet around the flagpole, and felt a bloody smell on the pole.As soon as it was wrapped around the flagpole, the weight of the flag was revealed, and my right hand seemed to be pulled hard by someone.I tied the rope again on the flagpole and looked at the wound on my body. In addition to the wound on the abdomen, the wound on the leg has closed, but the left arm is still bloody, and the flesh from the hole is turned out.Fortunately, the wound on my leg was not in the way. As soon as I let go of my hands, with a shake of my right hand, the Baipi knife returned to my hand. At this time, the sun was rising in the east, and the flag was waving in the wind.I pulled it over, cut a strip of cloth from the flag, and wrapped it around the wound.As soon as I cut off the cloth on the flag, the snake man below let out a low cry of surprise and anger, but I just thought it was funny. At this time, several snake men lifted the snake man away.At this time, the dawn was already twilight, and I could see the detailed situation below from the top of the flagpole.Below, the dark area is full of snake people, at least a thousand of them.It is said to be dark, but in fact it should be said to be green, like the color of water in the gutter.The snake man who just slipped down was lying on the ground, his body was still twitching, but his whole body was almost broken in two, and the internal organs slipped out from the wound. I was a little puzzled at first, but suddenly realized.When I was turning around the snake man just now, although the Baipi knife couldn't penetrate it, I cut along it several times. The snake man was entangled in the rope and couldn't move. The spine is connected. What a fluke.I secretly rejoiced that at this moment, the snake man suddenly split into two sides like a tide. Is there anyone coming? Sure enough, what came was a chariot with a snake man on it. I always thought that snake people all looked the same, but after a closer look, they all have their own looks.The snake man who came here could even be said to be somewhat handsome.Of course it's not as handsome as a human. It has a well-proportioned body and wears a soft armor, which is not common among snake people. Probably only those with higher status wear soft armor.For the snake people, those green scales are actually worth a piece of soft armor. The snake man came to the flagpole and jumped out of the car, and those snake men fell on the ground.The snakeman looked at the corpse of the snakeman on the ground, then raised his head to look at me. What kind of eyes are those!It was like two groups of flames, which would burn at once.I didn't move, but the snake man suddenly pointed at me and shouted: "You killed Barton!" Snake people can talk! Although I had guessed it a long time ago, I was still shocked when I saw it in person. It speaks the imperial language, although it is not quite standard, but it is not very audible, it seems to be learned from a book.I said, "Which one is called Batun?" It ignored me, and just said: "Do you know that when you defile Fuxi's sacred banner, your time of death is coming!" I don't know what it meant, the snake man stopped turning to me, and shouted loudly to those snake men: "Move firewood!" At this time, a snake man next to him raised his head and said, "General Shandu, do you want to burn firewood?" The snake man also spoke Imperial language, although it was far behind the snake man named General Shandu, it was still understandable enough.I couldn't help being startled on the top of the flagpole, thinking that I heard it wrong, Shandu shouted: "Yes, move the firewood! Fuxi's sacred banner has been defiled by him, so I have to ask God Zhu Rong to clean it." The snakeman stammered: "General Shandu, Master Tian said that the holy banner must not... be destroyed by that." I looked at the weird flag that was a bit torn. On the flag, there were two people with heads and snake bodies, and people in ancient clothes were being blown around by the wind on the flag, looking like living things.Now that I cut one off, the monster on the flag looks even weirder. For snake people, this is a sacred object.The empire also has many sacred objects, but the snake people are more like people in this respect. Shan Du shouted: "Master Tian's sermon is the seventeenth article. He also said that if the sacred object is defiled, it must be washed with the power of Zhu Rong. Hurry up and bring firewood." The snake men looked at him blankly, some of them had gone to fetch some firewood.The firewood was everything, probably cut on the spot, piled up on the shelf, and immediately became a pile half the height of a person. Shan Du looked up at me and shouted, "Bring the holy fire!" He said this, but none of the snakes moved.Shan Du waited for a while, and said angrily, "You have listened to Master Tian's sermon for so long, are you still afraid of Zhu Rong's power?" A snake-man hesitantly took a sprig of pine light from the side of a tent.The pine fire is very weak, only about the size of a bean.Such a small fire is probably not for lighting, but just to make the snake people no longer afraid of fire.The snake man was terrified of even such a small fire, and when he brought it to Shandu, he almost fainted. The snake man is going to burn the flagpole? I was coiled on the flagpole, knowing that I was at a critical moment.I don't know how Marquis Wu felt when he knew that those snake people were trying to adapt to the firelight, and I don't know if I can escape from this tent. I touched my arms.In his arms, the bag of gunpowder was tightly packed, like a rice ball.At this time, Shandu brought the pine tree to the pile of firewood to light it, and the snake man next to him seemed to have seen something extremely dangerous and hid far away. There is only one way. I took out the bag of gunpowder with my right hand, put it in my hand, bit the cloth wrapped in gunpowder with my mouth, tore a hole at once, and poured it down. The black gunpowder hung down like a thin thread and sprinkled on the pile of firewood. Shandu was lighting a fire, the pine light was too small, and the firewood was not very dry, only a small fire was lit, and when the gunpowder fell on the pile of firewood, Shandu raised his head to look, probably not knowing what it was. Firewood is no different.Isn't that gunpowder not as magical as Zhang Longyou said? I was a little disappointed when suddenly there was a "hiss" sound from the pile of firewood, and a ball of fire sprang out like a living thing, rising as high as a person.Shan Du was also taken aback, his long body jumped up and jumped backwards.But even so, it was still lit in several places. The fire had already set the pile of firewood on fire.The power of this gunpowder is so great that if it is allowed to burn, the flagpole will be burned immediately.At this time, the snake men around the flagpole had retreated about ten steps, and they seemed to be afraid of the fire, but it was not the same as that day when they saw the fire and were scared out of their wits. As soon as I let go of my hand, the person immediately slid down.On the flagpole, half-dried blood was sticky, and when it slid down, it wiped a red strip on my soft armor.Sliding to the fire head, I threw the long spear into the ground, and with a "bang", I stopped the falling momentum, stretched out the long spear and picked up the firewood. The snake man still doesn't seem to know how to use fire very well, the firewood is piled loosely and just placed on the wooden frame.As soon as my spear plunged into the pile of firewood, with just a flick, those firewood piles flew away, and there were only a few scattered firewood left on the shelf, where could it still burn? Seeing the fire splashing in all directions, the snake man spread out a little more.It's just that even if the firewood is burned, it will be burned immediately.I gritted my teeth, wrapped the remaining gunpowder, tied it on the gun head, and probed some small fires under the shelf, and the cloth strips burned immediately. The gunpowder inside has not been burned yet, but it will definitely burn soon.I looked around and made up my mind. I raised the spear and threw it towards a nearby tent. As soon as the spear flew out, the gunpowder packet on the tip of the gun exploded with a "hiss".The sound was silent, but it was like a boulder being thrown into the water, sparks splashed and exploded everywhere.Several nearby tents were set ablaze, and some sparks splashed on the snake people who were not too far away. Those snake people screamed strangely and rushed out one after another. In the midst of the chaos, Shan Du shouted suddenly: "Don't make a mess! The left battalion put out the fire, the right battalion stepped forward, and caught that monster!" I am a monster?At this time, I was also a little dumbfounded.But Shandu's roar seemed to calm down those snake people, a group of snake people had already turned to those burning tents, beating desperately, another group of snake people rushed forward. The snake people were still a little afraid of the fire burning on the ground, but they moved forward firmly. Although this Shandu is a strange-looking snake man, he is actually known as a famous general.I also couldn't help admiring that there are only a few generals in the imperial army who have fallen under this order, such as Marquis Wu, Lu Jingyu, and Shen Xiping. The two snake men have reached the edge of the flagpole.There was still a fire burning under the shelf, and the two snake men seemed to shrink back a little, Shandu shouted: "Come on!" It has rushed upwards. It was scorched by the flames just now, the soft armor on its body also had a few scorched marks, and its face was also black and blue.It rushed very fast, the two snake men were at the forefront, Shandu took this step, but they rushed closer than them, and shot at me.Using my hands and feet, I climbed up suddenly, dodged the shot, but Shandu shouted: "Bring the knife!" A snake man next to him said: "General Shandu, Tianmage Master Mingxun, no matter when, the holy banner...that one cannot touch the ground." This snake man speaks fluently, and he is also wearing soft armor, so he must be a leader among the snake people.Shan Du said: "Come four, hold on to the flagpole, and chop down section by section." I was taken aback, grabbed the big flag and shouted: "Stop, or I will cut this flag into pieces." Shan Du raised his head and said, "Cut it off, the Holy Banner has been defiled by you monster, and can no longer command the whole army." A snake man next to him handed over a knife.The snake man's sword is the same as the empire's shape, Shandu took it, and said: "You hold it." On the side, four snake men formed a circle and supported the flagpole, and Shandu began to cut down the section of the flagpole on the shelf. The flagpole is very thick, and it is also made of very strong wood. Even if the mountain is cut down, it will not be broken just because it is broken.But when it was cut down, I was also shaken on the top of the flagpole, and I stretched out my arms to hug the flagpole, so I had to keep myself from falling. It was cut down with a knife, although it only left a knife mark on the flagpole, but if it is cut like this, the flagpole will be cut off sooner or later. The long spear I had seized has already been thrown out, and now that those snake men are no longer attacking by force, I am afraid they will not be able to seize the long spear.And if I go down, no matter how arrogant I am, I don't believe that I can defeat the five snake men who are surrounded together, not to mention there are so many snake men who are eyeing tigers around. Could it be that there is really no way out? I raised my head and looked at the sky.The sun rose and the sky brightened.Looking at the past, the forest is like a green pond, separating Gaojiu City.On the top of the flagpole, it seems that it is only a short distance. I looked at Shen Xiping's head hanging on my waist.His head had been air-dried, and his face was a little deformed, but he could still see the might of the commanding army. A famous general of the generation is still a nobody, even if he dies. I smiled wryly.After I die, will my head be hung on the flagpole?Maybe Marquis Wu will add a few more levels to me.It's just that I couldn't even go back to the corpse at that time, and it was empty to add ten levels. I gritted my teeth and touched the Baipi knife in my right hand. Even if I die, I can't let those snake people cut off my head so easily. I bent over, ready to let go. The four snake men huddled together, all leaning on the flagpole, without weapons.What I want to guard against is only Shandu. Thinking of this, I can't help but laugh. I also think too simple.Now I have three wounds on my body, even if there is only one unarmed snake man, I may not be able to beat it well, if I jump down, I will be torn in half by the snake man before I can make a move. At this time, my hand has been released, and the person has slid down a few feet.A snake man next to him shouted: "General Shandu, little monster...heart!" Shandu raised his head, and I shouted: "Medium!" The Baipi knife flew out of his hand and grabbed its head. This knife was so quick that it could be said to be my last attack.Shan Du was stunned, and reached out to strike with a knife, but it was too late.Seeing that the knife was about to pierce its head, a snake man beside him suddenly grew up and grabbed the blade with one hand.My hand trembled, and the rope tied to the Baipi Knife was stretched straight. I grabbed it hard, and the snake man's hand was scratched by the blade, and two fingers flew up. But in this way, Zhongshan was no longer hit.I didn't wait for them to attack again, and immediately climbed back to the top, a snake man pretended to climb up, Shandu shouted: "Don't go up!" Even though Shan Du's face was that of a snake man, he could still see the uncontrollable anger.It shouted: "Two more, guard against this monster!" It lowered its head and began to chop the flagpole again. It didn't expect that I would attack at this time. Two snake men with long spears swam up and surrounded the outside. The snake man with the injured hand retreated and replaced him.All I could hear was the "bang bang" sound of Shandu's knife on the flagpole. At this time, there was a loud noise from a distance, and a snake man came from the forest and shouted: "General Shandu, attack..." The snake man was not eloquent, and after attacking for a long time, he couldn't tell what to attack.I took a look, but saw a military horse galloping towards the top of Gaojiu City. Looking at the banner, it was the Qianfeng Battalion. madness! I can't help cursing secretly.With such an attack, the Dragon Scale Army was completely defeated. Even though the Vanguard Battalion was brave, it might not be much stronger than the Dragon Scale Army, and they were still going to be defeated.What on earth are they going to do to launch such a suicidal attack?Could it be that the vanguard battalion came to rescue me seeing that I did not return and desperately came to rescue me?But how do they know I'm trapped on top of this flagpole? Shandu stopped his hands and shouted: "Zuoying, stay here to guard, and then cut down, right battalion will fight with me!" Its voice was calm, but I also heard a hint of panic. Even if the Vanguard Battalion was no match for the Snakeman Army, this attack caught them by surprise. Shan Du dropped his knife and rushed into the woods with a large group of snake men.At this time, another snake man in soft armor took the knife, and then came to chop the flagpole. Lu Gongxing's attack must have been in vain.I'm a little depressed. The snake man slashed a few times, and suddenly several snake men uttered exclamations and raised their heads one after another.I didn't know what happened, so I looked up. I saw a huge black monster flying up from the edge of the forest. It was long, like a flying snake, and was flying towards here. That's not a monster.I immediately discovered that it was actually a huge leather kite, and it seemed that there was a person on it. Kite is also a kind of toy handed down from ancient times.Every year during the Spring Outing Festival in early spring, all the people in the empire went to the wild to worship the tombs of their ancestors, and those children were also flying kites.Although it is not yet the outing festival, the wind is strong and the kites are ready to fly. But this kite is no toy. 蛇人也弄不清那是什么东西，有一个忽然伏倒在地上，叫道：“伏……神！” 它大概叫的是“伏羲大神”吧。这一声像是传染了似的，那些蛇人一下伏倒在地，一个个顶礼膜拜，连那个正在砍旗杆的蛇人也放下刀，伏在地上。 那蛇形风筝到了旗杆边上，我已看清了，那上面确实有一个人。 忽然，从那风筝上，飞过一枝箭来。 这风筝在空中动个不停，这支箭却有百步穿杨之妙，竟然不偏不倚，直向我射过来。箭尾上，还带着一根细绳。 这支箭已到了我跟前，却还差得三尺。我心知定是有些道理，手头也没什么东西，不由分说，一把抓起那面旗子迎风一展，“哗”一声，旗子展开了，旗上那两个人首蛇身的怪物象平铺在天幕上一般展现在那些蛇人面前，那支箭也被旗子卷住，正射在旗面上。 我收了回来，抓住那支箭。 那是支去掉箭头的箭，箭杆上刻了一个“青”字。这“青”上半部刻成羽毛样，下面是封口的，成个箭头的样子。 这是谭青的箭！怪不得，在这种位置，也能有这么好的箭法。 我一阵激动，却见那细绳子上，又有一根粗绳连着。 是要用风筝带我出去么？ 我真有点钦佩那个想出这主意的人。这人也当真了得，这主意匪夷所思，却也完全可行。我飞快地倒着绳子，已将那粗绳抓到了手中。 这时，却听得刚才在砍旗杆那个蛇人喝道：“是妖魔化成伏羲大神的样子，快放箭！” 它的喊声很响，但那些蛇人正此起彼伏，发出一些怪异的叫声，它的喊声却没有用。它跳下那旗杆架子，取出一张弓来，叫道：“放箭！” 蛇人的箭我还没见过。这个蛇人一箭射出，那支箭歪歪斜斜，飞近了那风筝便射不上去了，掉了下来。 怪不得蛇人少用箭吧，恐怕它们不擅长射箭。 这时，谭青在风筝上忽然也一箭射落。他的一箭可与蛇人的那箭不可同日而语，这一箭直射向那蛇人，那个蛇人张开嘴，一条鲜红的舌头吐在外面，似是吓得一动不动。 “啪”一声，这一箭射在离它只有一尺远的地上。在风筝上，以谭青那等高超的箭术，还是偏了一些了。 我正觉得可惜，手上却不慢，将那粗绳子抓在手中，试了试。 本以为这绳子一定绷得很紧，但这么一拉，却拉得那风筝下沉了一些。 那风筝承不住两个人的份量！ 此时我心头如同一桶冰水浇下。本以为绝处逢生，但这么一来，前功尽弃，除非谭青自己跳下来，我才能逃走。 可谭青真能舍身救我么？ 这时，下面的蛇人已纷纷站起，有一些也取出弓来向那风筝射去。它们的箭术还不及刚才那蛇人，谭青虽被我拉得沉下许多，却也仍没一支箭能射到他身边的。 我绞尽脑汁，却仍想不出一个能让那风筝承受两个人份量的办法。这时，忽然听得一声尖利的破空之声，却见一支长枪射了上来。 这支长枪比箭长过许多，已正对着谭青射去，才到那风筝边，却被一下击飞，斜斜坠下。但如此一来，一下子又有好几个蛇人将长枪当箭射上去。幸好，不是所有蛇人都有那么强的射术，几支枪射得比箭更低便落下来了，但也有一两支枪到了谭青身边。若不是蛇人的准头太差，这两枪已足以将他射死。 这时，一支长枪正从我身边掠过。这支长枪正是那身披软甲的蛇人射的，劲力颇强。我右手一甩，百辟刀脱手掷出，正绕过那长枪，在枪杆上绕了几圈。 那一瞬，我的手臂几乎要被拔出一般，浑身一震，肩胛处痛得几乎无法忍受。 这时，我也感到周身都开始疼痛。那忘忧果失去效力了吧？ 我将刀收回来，左手抓住了长枪，人也不住气喘。这杆长枪虽然抢到了，但我也已无法再用。我顺手将风筝上垂下的那根绳子绑在长枪上，好让自己方便些抓住。 如果再想不到逃走的办法，我也只好放手了，不能再让谭青在半空里盘旋。 这时，箭已如雨下，不过都避开了旗杆这边。它们也仍不能让这旗损伤吧？我看着那面正迎风招展的大旗，现在已被风扯得笔直，好象一块木板也似。 这时，忽然听得蛇人们发出一声欢呼，我抬头望去，大吃一惊，却见那风筝上已扎了一支长枪，看样子，竟是已射穿了谭青的身体。 I was taken aback.那支长枪在风筝上动也不动，风筝却已开始盘旋，正不住往下掉。谭青已被射死了？我不禁仰天叫道：“谭青！” 像是响应我的叫声，一个人影一下从风筝上掉了下来。 谭青掉下来了！ 我只觉心也要跳出喉咙口，他掉的地方就在旗杆边上，这一掉下来，手中的长枪被风筝带得猛往上一升，几乎脱出手去。可是我手里只有一杆长枪，怎么才能挡住他？ 我也没有多想，将长枪的一头扎进那面旗的左上角，左下角和长枪枪杆捏在一起，也来不及捆到一处，便伸出去。 那旗子右边有一根木棍插着，升旗的绳子便绑在那木棍上。我在左边这么插上一枝长枪，约略有点象个担架床的样子。 我也没有想到，谭青从那么高的地上掉下来，我用这么一个简陋之极的担架床如何接得住他？就算接住了，他掉下来的势头也会连我也带下去的。但此时我根本没想这些，只是将旗子伸出去，只想把他接住。 “呼”一声，谭青的身子从旗子边掠过，枪杆根本没碰到他。 那一瞬，几乎只如闪电过眼那么短的时间，可是我却觉得如同有一天、一年那么长久。 谭青的胸口插了一支长枪，右手上还握着一把短弓，眼已闭着，脸上，还有点淡淡的笑容。 “谭青！” 我大叫着，可是，他的身体已“砰”一声摔在地上。 他一落地，蛇人已如潮水般涌上，我看不见下面的样子，却听得到刀枪刺入皮肉的声音。 我握紧了拳，关节也发白，只想狠狠地一拳打出，可这一拳却没有一个地方好打，眼角，也只觉得湿润。 一阵风猛地卷过，那面旗已展开了，兜风，这一阵风将我的身体也在旗杆顶上摇了摇。 谭青已掉下来了。现在风筝上没有人控制，尽管只有我一个人，也同样没办法带我飞走，除非我能爬到那风筝上。只是，风筝若降到只有旗杆那么高，那恐怕便飞不出去。现在不是伤心的时候，当务之急，便是我如何带着沈西平的首级逃出去，否则谭青的死也只是白死。 我看着那面旗子，又是一阵风吹过，那旗子象瓦片一样被吹得鼓起。我紧紧地抓着，忽然，脑子里跳出了一个主意！ 谭青，多亏你。 我看着旗杆下，默然无语。谭青落下的地方，只剩了一堆血肉模糊的痕迹了。 我一刀砍下一段绳子，将那旗子左边的两角绑在了长枪上，试了试，让风筝上垂下的那根绳子移到正中。 谭青，我一定会为你报仇，杀尽这帮蛇人。 在心底喃喃地说着，一刀砍断了那根升旗的绳子，然后一手抓着长枪的一头，将长枪横在肩上，猛地站了起来。 在旗杆顶上，要保持这个姿势是很困难的。但我只消那短短的一刻就行了。 我一站直了，左脚一下勾住那旗子的一角，趁着一阵风吹过，猛地向外一跳，右脚勾住了旗子的另一个角。 现在那旗子平平地背在我身上，也正好形成了一个风筝的样子。头顶那风筝吃的份量一下减轻，猛地升上天去。 下面，只留下那些蛇人的一阵惊呼。我只觉那旗杆象落下地的一块石子一样，飞快地下落，眨眼间便升上了十几丈高。
