Chapter 906 Slaughterhouse on the Slope

Wei Yan, who was overturned by the air waves, finally woke up.

He jumped up from the ground, pointed the spear in his hand forward, shouted, "Kill!" and rushed through the Sassanian defense line with hundreds of Liang troops in fire protection suits and rushed to the main camp of the Sassanian army. Behind them, thousands of Liang troops jumped out of their hiding place and surrounded the hillside from all directions along the hillside. In addition, more Liang troops rushed up the mountain along the foot of the mountain along the various tunnels and paths that had been opened before.

A few days ago, when Liang's army, step by step, pushed the camp within fifty battles from the main Sassanian army to the top of the hill, they would occasionally shoot explosive bombs into the main Sassanian army. The seven or eight days of continuous bombing made the surface of the main Sassanian army burned into ruins, and even the circle of wooden walls built on the barriers were burned to pieces of dark wooden stakes. The only intact building on the main site was the giant sinks that stored water and accumulated rainwater.

However, this does not mean that the Sassanian defenders have all lost all their losses. On the contrary, they were in the caves they dug according to the mountains, bunkers transformed with trenches, and natural stone caves.

At this time, they saw the Liang army launching a final full-scale attack and knew that it would be impossible to stop the Liang army by hiding in the bunker cave with cold arrows. Under the urging of the general, they had to come out of the cave and face the Liang army.

Wei Yan has now thrown away his spear and shield, removed his two swords from his back, and danced into a group to break into the Sassanian army. In just a quarter of an hour, five Sassanian soldiers have become Wei Yan's ghosts under the sword. At this time, the entire mountain was in a mess. Both sides did not form military formations, and did not distinguish between the enemy and the troops. They randomly found an enemy target and then fought together. The spears or arrows projected by the soldiers on both sides flew back and forth on the heads of the fighting soldiers. The shouts of fighting were shaking the sky and the earth.

After the nearly two months of erosion and attack by the Liang army, the Sassanian army had only 10,000 defenders on the mountain. Because of the advantage of local forces, these 5,000 people still had the upper hand in the fierce battle on the mountain, but as more and more Liang troops rushed up, they gradually became difficult to support. Then, when dozens of giant ape soldiers of the Liang army rushed over, they became the last straw that crushed them and collapsed instantly. The remaining two or three thousand Sassanian soldiers knelt on the ground and begged for surrender.

At this time, it was already bright and the Liang army's battle flag was floating on the mountain. Shortly afterwards, another mountain was also conquered by Gao Shun's army.

Sulehar, who was watching the battle at the top of the Persis city, saw the thick smoke rolling on the two hills, and the sound of fighting that shook the sky could faintly reach his ears, and his heart was very anxious. When he saw the Liang army's battle flags rising from the two hills, his whole heart had sunk.

At dawn, he was woken up from his sleep by his personal soldiers, saying that the Liang army might have launched a general attack on the camps on the two hills outside the city. He hurried to the city and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw that the camps on the two hills were all in the sky with flames and blazing flames. He immediately sent all the remaining war cavalry in the city, divided into two groups to attack the Liang army, who were waiting for attack under the two hills, in order to relieve the pressure on the defenders on the hills.

But his cavalry rushed out of the east gate and rushed down the high ground along the slope outside the gate, and was indeed surrounded and intercepted by nearly ten thousand Liang infantry cavalry. As a result, not to mention reinforcement of two strongholds, it was not so easy to retreat to the city of Persis.

The reason why it was true was that in the past month, he did not wait for the Liang army to eat the two strongholds outside Persis, step by step. Instead, he sent six three waves of troops to reinforce the two hills, but they were all repelled by a red-faced and long-bearded general in the Liang army camp on the slope of the east slope of the city, with Liang army cavalry.

Then, he tried to remove the nail under the east slope of the city by night attack. But unexpectedly, not only did this not have the effect of sneak attack, but it broke into blood and lost two or three thousand war cavalry. The opponent seemed to have expected that he would send troops to attack, and had already set up many traps in the camp to prepare. As soon as his war cavalry rushed into the camp, he encountered many traps and traps. The Liang army infantry emerged from somewhere, and the camp was filled with soldiers. A large number of Sassanid cavalry fell under the dense projection of the javelin, and many war cavalry riders who were in front of the war cavalry were directly pulled down and killed by the Liang army soldiers.

...

"Sir, look! Do we want to open the city gate?" A personal soldier's shout woke Sulehar from his meditation.

He looked down at the city and it turned out that the war cavalry he sent at dawn finally broke through the opponent's siege and blocked the enemy and fled towards the city of Persis. But behind them, there were five or six hundred Liang army cavalry, biting them tightly. Behind the five or six hundred Liang army cavalry, there were still black Liang army infantry heads huddled, and they couldn't see how many people there were. However, the general in the head, Sulehar could already familiarly recognize that it was the big man with red face and long beard.

Sulehar gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Don't open the city gate, crossbow gunners, crossbow archers obey orders, those who approach the city walls, shoot and kill them no matter whether they are enemies or us!"

Immediately, the arrow rain and stone bombs flew down the city with the whistling sound of breaking through the air. The Sassanian cavalry who were racing and glad that they could escape back to the city never dreamed that they would be attacked by their own people. In the dense arrow rain, they fell off their horses one after another. After forty or fifty casualties, the Sassanian cavalry finally understood that Sulehar abandoned them and prevented them from entering the city.

They hurriedly turned their heads and rushed down the slope again. One of the centurions faced Liang Jun, who was close to several battles, threw away the weapons in his hand, raised his hands and shouted: "Surrender! Let's surrender..." Before he finished speaking, a stone bullet from the top of Persis hit the back of his head, and his whole head suddenly turned into a ball of blood mist and disappeared into the air, and the headless corpse fell directly from the horse.

In the end, the more than 100 Sassanian cavalry only had more than 30 cavalrymen, and with their hands high, they successfully rushed into the Liang army's infantry and cavalry crowd and were captured.

This incident made Feng Yu, who was watching the battle from afar, realize how dense the firepower deployed by the Sassanian army on this section of the city wall was.

The stone bullets and arrows from the city wall killed nearly 70 Sassanian cavalry and more than 20 Liang army cavalry rushing in the front in less than ten breaths. The slope was covered with pits from arrows and stone bullets. This was the case when the Sassanian army did not fire Greek fire bombs with crossbows, otherwise the lethality was even more amazing.

Feng Yu frowned and understood in his heart that this big slope was a slaughterhouse waiting for Liang's army. If he attacked from the front of the slope as planned, the casualties would be impossible to bear.
