Chapter 910 Westward War

In the eastern part of the Persis Highlands, two Liang army positions located in the north and south of the large slopes, still faced the continuous stream of Sassanian reinforcements. Of course, they did this to attract as many Sassanian troops as possible and provide support for the Liang army conducting sneak attacks from the west.

At this time, two thousand Liang troops all climbed to the high ground in two places, and built portable crossbows hanging from the cliff in the center of the two circular positions, and continued to fire bombs and explode bombs at the Sassanian army that rushed from all directions. Some soldiers continued to use ropes and bamboo baskets to transport crossbow guns, bullets and other consumption materials from the bottom of the cliff.

The Sassanian army's arrows were as dense as a sudden rain, and occasionally they carried projected javelins. However, almost all the Liang army soldiers had large shields on their heads, and the casualties caused by dense arrows were far less than those of the other party. Because the Sassanian army could never advance to the distance close to the Liang army's defense circle, most of the javelins they threw could not be thrown into the Liang army formation. Even some of the javelins thrown on the Liang army's shield were already at the end of their strength, unable to penetrate the shield and were shot to the ground.

Posesses's west city wall. Dozens of Liang's mountain scouts have climbed to the top of the cliff, but there are still many high-ranking city walls waiting for them. These mountain scouts took out a special crossbow gun from their backs and put it on a single crossbow cannon. They said that the crossbow gun was special because it was tied with a rope at the back end, but it was a hook claw at the front. In order to reduce the sound, the steel hook claw was also wrapped with a linen sponge.

With the fluffy sound of the individual crossbows firing, these hooks and claws were thrown high into the air with ropes. After falling, they hooked on the edge of the battlements in the muffled sound. The sharp edges wrapped in sponges emerged from the cocoon and firmly pricked on the wall of the pile.

Because a large number of troops were transferred, there were not many soldiers patrolling the West City Wall. There were only 500 defenders guarding the city wall, and only more than 70 of them were divided into groups to patrol the corridor on the wall.

Among them, there was a team of ten people, lined up in two rows and slowly walked along the city wall. The leader also hummed a little tune, glad that his people were not drawn to reinforce the south and north of the city. However, he did not realize that the team had become eight people, and in the end the two had fallen into a pool of blood.

Two Liang Jun mountain scouts continued to tiptoe behind them, and then once again clamped the mouths of the last two men in the queue with lightning speed. Before they struggled violently, they cut open their trachea and arteries with a sharp short knife. The two Sasanian soldiers kept spitting blood bubbles in their mouths, trying hard to shout but couldn't shout them out. After they were completely dead, they were gently pushed to the ground by Liang Jun.

However, when they did the same thing for the third time, the man in the lead looked back for some reason, and immediately shocked him. He had just opened his mouth and shouted, "There is an enemy...", and seven crossbow guns shot from the outside of the battlement, instantly piercing through him and the remaining Sassanian soldiers. Seven mountain scouts were pulling ropes hanging from the edge of the wall, placing individual crossbows on the wall.

Some of the Sassanian soldiers who fell to the ground were not dead yet. They just let out two moans. Before they turned to wail, they were solved by Liang Bing who rushed up one by one. When the seven mountain scouts climbed over the wall of the battlement, more mountain scouts also climbed up. Liang Bing, who looked like a leader, took off a lighting torch from the wall of the city tower on the other side of the corridor, shook it a few times outside the city, and sent a signal.

Gao Shun, hiding in the bushes, saw the signal and knew that he had succeeded, and was overjoyed. He waved his hand. The soldiers hiding in the bushes immediately flocked to him, following the "path" set for them by his predecessors, climbing towards the towering walls of the Persisi.

Gao Shun didn't expect it to be so smooth. After a few quarters of an hour he reached the top of the city, he did not see a Sassanian soldier appear except for the ten corpses on the ground.

This is actually because these ten people are responsible for patrolling the city wall that lasts more than one mile long. In this night, even if some open flames are set up by the wall, nothing can be seen outside two hundred steps. In just a few moments, almost half of Gao Shun's people came up. Except for a few people, the rest of the people who came up to the city wall were squatting on the ground, so as not to be discovered by the enemy under the light of the light.

At this moment, a few lit lights of fire appeared in the distance. Gao Shun suddenly became nervous and whispered to everyone to prepare. The group of people shouted loudly when they reached seventy or eighty steps away from Gao Shun, and Gao Shun couldn't understand anything they shouted. Gao Shun just stood there silently with his weapons in his hand. The soldiers squatting beside him all took up individual crossbow cannons with good crossbow guns.

In fact, this group of people was another wave of patrol teams. After their leader walked back and forth several times in the city section where he was responsible, he found that the situation was wrong. Because according to common sense, they should have encountered the nearby patrol team once or twice in these back and forth, but he didn't meet them once, and he felt aroused in his heart. So the leader brought a few people here to check the situation.

However, when he saw a few figures standing there from afar, he felt relieved. Because if it were the enemy, there would be no only a few people. He expected that this friendly army was lazy, so he greeted him loudly, with a little teasing in his words: "I said you brothers are free here. You are free here, but you are free to say hello to me. I haven't met you several times, and I thought you had encountered something unexpected..."

Before he could finish his words, someone covered his mouth from behind and cut his neck. Following him, the other Sassanian soldiers encountered the same fate. The Liang army outside the city continued to climb into the city in an orderly manner. After more than a thousand people from the second echelon came up, Dian Wei also led the remaining troops to start climbing the city.

At this time, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps came from one end of the city wall, and a fire dragon rushed from north to south. It turned out that it was still the patrol soldiers. The leader who saw that they went to check the situation had not returned for a long time, and immediately guessed that the situation was not good. They did not dare to check the situation themselves, but hurriedly reported the situation.

Their upward peak - a thousand-time captain immediately called out the remaining four hundred people guarding the west wall from the bed and ran here to check the situation. However, the thousand-time captain did not dare to report the situation to Sulehar immediately, because he had not confirmed what the situation was. If there was a false alarm, he would be unlucky.

When they were less than thirty battles away from the Liang army, they were greeted by waves of crossbows and guns. The Sassanian army, which had more than 400 people, suffered more than 100 casualties in a moment, and the bodies almost covered a section of the city wall. The remaining people rushed back, and some of them rushed down the city wall and rushed to the Governor's Mansion to report the news...
