Chapter 840
Guan Yu on the stone platform naturally saw his ships coming to help, and was immediately overjoyed. Then he heard the sound of the horn of the Sassanian army assembled. Obviously, after a few days of suspension, they would launch another fierce attack, and Guan Yu was sure that this attack would be a full-strength attack from Ahjalt.
Guan Yu immediately said loudly: "After the order, the whole army is ready for war. Our reinforcements have come from the sea. You must fight with all your might to ensure that we escape. In this victory, we will survive, and in this defeat, we will be buried here!"
After saying that, Liang Jun was also prepared with the sound of the horn. He crouched neatly five feet away from the edge of the stone platform, with his gun in front and his crossbow behind him, and was solemn.
The Sassanian army under the stage still had bows and crossbows. Nearly two thousand crossbowmen in the entire army opened their bows and opened their crossbows, pouring arrows onto the stone platform like a sudden rain. Although the Liang army was still as before, everyone had small shields on their heads, the arrows were so dense that some Liang soldiers were unfortunately caught in the arrows and fell to the ground.
Faced with the Sassanian army's wild shooting, the Liang army did not fight back. First, the Liang army now has few arrows, so they have to save and use them. They cannot shoot in a random manner as aimlessly as the Sassanian army. Second, the Sassanian army's arrows are too dense, and even the light cavalry Feiyu, who is in the rear, has to raise a round shield to resist the dense arrows.
Immediately afterwards, the Sassanian army shouted in unison, rushing along the earth slope toward the top of the stone platform like a tsunami. Not only did they hold swords and shields, some also held torches in their hands, and some carried a slalom two or three feet high on their backs.
When they rushed to the end of the earth slope, they threw torches to the stone platform, trying to disrupt the formation of Liang Jun. A small leather bag was tied to the handle of the torch. After it landed, the tincture oil contained in the leather bag flowed all over the ground, which could cause a large fire.
Of course, these "firearms" are not as sharp as Liang Jun's hot bombs using naphtha. However, this tincture oil is not the lamp oil made of vegetable oil from the Central Plains, but it is also an extremely flammable thing, causing quite a lot of trouble to Liang Jun.
From time to time, Liang Jun was injured by the flames and screamed. The formation began to become chaotic. At the same time, some Sassanian soldiers began to put two or three feet tall wooden benches at the end of the earth slope and put them together to form a staircase. Then, they stepped on the ladder and rushed up to the edge of the stone platform. But Liang Jun's cavalry and spear blades were intensively pierced at them.
These Sassanian troops were naturally prepared and used the large shield in their hands to block it. However, the Liang army's spear was too dense. Although the large shield blocked the blade of the gun, the soldiers holding the shield could not resist the force of the other party and were pushed down. Some people accidentally hit the blade of their robes on the back and died on the spot.
Because the Sassanian army had already rushed to the stone platform, the bow shooting of the Sassanian crossbowmen below the stage naturally stopped. Liang army was relieved and bold in daily practice to stab the cavalry and spear together. Although these heavy cavalrymen were not as good as professional spearmen, the dense forest of guns could also block the Sassanian soldiers like a torrent. The light cavalry flying feathers behind also shot out all the remaining arrows. They used close-range bows that were shooting almost straight to kill the target.
Another row of Sasanian sword and shield soldiers climbed onto the stone platform, and they raised their shields and waved their swords to press towards Liang Jun. One of the big guys rushed forward with his big shield and two or three cavalry lances, pushing the other's gun rods into a bow shape. Just as he swung his sword to cut off the other's gun blade, another spear blade pierced into his thigh. He knelt on the ground with a whimper, and then another arrow hit his face and fell completely to the ground and died.
When he was lying on the ground, a ball of flames passed through his body and fell into the Liang army's crowd. The flames instantly spread out, burning the robe, sleeves and legs of several Liang army, forcing them to dodge.
Just as the other Sassanian army was about to take advantage of the opportunity, a loud shout came and a flash of green light flashed. Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword slashed and slashed, killing more than ten Sassanian soldiers in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, more torches were thrown from the bottom of the stage. The Sassanian army found that the torches were effective and began to throw them wildly. In less than half a quarter of an hour, there were already spots of flames rising everywhere on the stone platform and thick smoke rolling. Just then, a stream of water flowed down from the stone platform, rushing all the burning flames off the stone platform.
It turned out that a Liang general, General Liang, was very quick to see the fire, and "opened the gate and released water" to the pit that blocked the gap when it rained that day. This was the flame of tinder burning oil, and the water could not be extinguished, so the burning flame was only changed to a position by the water flow, and brought it to the stone platform, and poured it on the Sassanian soldiers who were climbing.
Although the flames actually couldn't hurt them, they panic and rushed to each other. At the end of the earth slope, the stone platform suddenly became a mess. Liang Jun took the opportunity to run to the edge of the stone platform, stabbed down with a rifle, and shot bows and arrows. The Sassanian soldiers fell to the ground and died in large numbers.
The Sassanian soldiers were caught off guard and suffered such casualties. The morale was immediately dissipated and they fled down the slope. Nejalt had to wait until they all retreated before reorganizing, and used their own personal soldiers to organize a supervision team. Only layers of corpses were left on the slope.
When he was about to launch an attack again, he heard screams and screams from his soldiers in his ears. Nejalt looked around and found that more than a dozen fireballs and arrows were flying in the air. Flames were rising in his army not far away.
With a muffled sound, a soldier not far ahead fell to the ground like a wooden stake. Nejalt knew that he was at least two hundred steps away from the stone platform at this time, and Liang's arrows could not have shot so far.
In an instant, Nejarte understood that the Liang army's reinforcements landed from the sea. He had a good guess. Lin Tao's fleet reached the shore in time and first reinforced two thousand guns, shield soldiers and longbowmen on the stone platform. Liang army reinforcements set up military formations on the top of the stone platform and set up portable crossbows. At the same time, they began to transfer the cavalry robes that had been held for many days.
Unwillingly, Ahjalt asked the soldiers to snipe the sky with explosive bombs and longbows, and made another meaningless attack. As a result, Liang Jun fired a javelin and drove them down, adding dozens of corpses to no avail.
Finally, when most soldiers retreated, the last group of Liang's guns and shield soldiers piled up a large number of open fire bombs on the stone platform, and then retreated along the small radius to the beach under the cliff in an orderly manner. A hot air balloon rose by the beach, and the longbowman inside held a longbow and was ready to light the fire bombs at any time. Nejalt knew it was amazing and did not dare to let the soldiers rashly climb onto the stone platform to chase, so he could only watch Liang's retreat. Finally, several rockets shot, turning the stone platform into a sea of fire.
