Chapter 838 The Creeping Cavalry

Arrows on both sides flew across the air. The heavy cavalry of Liang army half-squatted on the ground in the center of the stone platform, raising the small round shield dedicated to the cavalry over their heads. If it was on the flat ground, the protection effect of this small shield against arrows was very weak compared to the large shield. But now Sassanian arrows are shot from bottom to top and can only be shot at the Liang army riders at a very tilted angle from top to bottom. Therefore, these Liang army only need to raise this small shield above their heads and cover them above to block most arrows.

The Sassanian infantry, covered with a large shield, rushed to the entrance of the path below the stone platform, and began to walk one after another, following the path upwards. At first, they had a smooth journey. The path was obviously in the shooting blind spot of the light cavalry flying feathers on the stone platform, so the arrows could not fall here, and no Liang army soldier came to stop it. So after a while, they rushed to the top of the stone platform.

Unexpectedly, at this time, they heard a rumbling sound in their ears. The two Sassanian infantry in front looked up and saw a huge rock slid down the slope of the trail. I don’t know how Liang Jun found this stone with a diameter of two feet. Its appearance was round and rolling like a ball. They were shocked and jumped to the side in a hurry, but forgot that they fell to the ground at a height of more than two battles.

The Sassanian soldiers behind were blocked by their vision and did not know what had happened. When they discovered it, they were too late. The big stone crushed more than ten soldiers in a row before falling down from one side of the path. The entire path was suddenly in disarray and blood was filled with blood.

The Sassanian soldiers were shocked by this scene. They were already rushing to the trail and retreated quickly. Those who were about to get on also stopped. Seeing this, Nejalt shouted: "Continue attacking, don't stop, fearing that the enemy will not be in the former, kill!"

The sound of the Sassanian army's war drums and horns became louder again, and the Sassanian soldiers who were fighting the vanguard could only bite the bullet and rushed up again. There were already moss on this stone road, and now there were fragmented corpses scattered on it. It was much more difficult to climb up than just now.

At the same time, hundreds of Sassanian cavalrymen ran, and they rushed to the bottom of the stone platform and threw out their hook claws. However, some of the thrown hook claws grabbed the edge of the stone platform, while some of the hooks could not be grasped because some of the edges of the stone platform had no edges or were covered with moss. In short, hundreds of Sassanian cavalrymen threw out their hook claws together, and in the end only forty or fifty were able to climb up successfully.

It's strange that the Liang army above was no longer moving at this time. The Sassanian soldiers who were walking along the stone path swept the blood on the road while moving upward with difficulty. When they were halfway through, a large black shadow appeared in the sky above their heads.

A Sassanian soldier didn't react, and his head buzzed, and his body rolled down under the stone platform. The nearby soldiers heard a muffled sound. Then he was hit by a heavy object on his shoulder, and then a severe pain came, as if his shoulder had been broken, and the weapon was also in pain and dropped his hands.

It turned out that Liang army began to throw stones at these paths. Anyway, these paths are only three or four feet wide. As long as they are about to throw to that range, they will most likely hit the climbing enemy soldiers. Although most of these stones of different sizes cannot directly take human lives, they can cause serious injuries.

After a moment, the Sassanian soldiers fell down seven or eight people in a silence. The general who commanded them roared: "Shield! Lift the shield up quickly." The soldiers then reacted and held up their shields one after another. With the sound of the banging stones hitting the shield, they continued to move upwards.

A Sassanian rider seemed very good at climbing. He first climbed along the rope to the edge of the stone platform. But as soon as he showed his head, he saw a bright gun blade attacking him, and with a puff, he pierced into his head, and the Sassanian cavalry fell down like a weight.

The owner of this cavalry, a heavy armored cavalry of Liang Army, lay not far from the edge of the stone platform, covering the calves without armor protection with round shields, minimizing the risk of being shot by the enemy's random arrows. He had been hit by several arrows on his back, but fortunately these arrows failed to penetrate the heavy armor on his body. Except for him, such Liang soldiers could be seen not far from each hook claw. Whenever they saw the enemy soldiers appear, they would quickly shoot.

The Sasanian soldiers climbing the rope fell one after another. The person behind knew that the situation was wrong and did not dare to show their heads rashly. They hung on the rope for a while and didn't know what to do. But then, these hooks were pried off almost at the same time, and the Sasanian soldiers hanging in the air fell down heart-wrenchingly.

Seeing that he was completely sending people to the death, Nejarth did not continue to force the soldiers to continue to attack with this method. He hoped to put them all on the stone path. However, the results of the Sassanian soldiers passing through this path were not much better. After gathering at the end of the path, they shouted trumpets one by one, two by three, and jumped towards the edge of the stone platform with their shields, but found countless arrows flying densely towards them.

They hurriedly covered their bodies and heads with shields, but seven or eight spear guns pierced them and stabbed them into their calves. The Sassanian soldiers fell to the ground in pain, and were stabbed into their heads or chests by spears. It turned out that this was the masterpiece of Liang Jun who was crawling on the ground.

A Liang army had just pulled back his cavalry, but felt a severe pain coming from the bend of his thigh. It turned out that a wave of arrows fell just where he was not covered by armor. Two Liang soldiers in the rear hurriedly dragged him back, and another heavily armored cavalry took over with a cavalry.

A Liang army whispered: "Come away the shields of these enemy soldiers." After his reminder, everyone confiscated the enemy shields that fell on the edge of the stone platform, and then used these generous shields to cover the legs of the crawling soldiers' legs much more effective than the small round shield.

Seeing that his soldiers attacking along the path were also constantly suffering casualties, Nejalt understood that this was not a solution, so he had to stop the attack for a while. Nejalt stared at the stone platform and thought for a long time, he came up with more than a dozen ways to break things.

Unfortunately, he does not have the conditions required for these methods now. For example, he attacked with a tower car higher than the stone platform, but there was no tower car in the nearby Guadal Harbor. The reinforcements came to the rescue urgently and naturally would not bring this bulky thing. It would take several days to build a tower car now. With this time, the circumference could encircle the Liang army to death because there was no water source on the stone platform.

Thinking of this, Nejalt looked at the sky with sunny faces, and sneered: "Telection, we will not attack you. I see how long they can last without drinking water!"
