Alma 49:2

And behold, the city had been rebuilt,

and Moroni had stationed an army by the borders of the city,

and they had cast up dirt round about

to shield them from the arrows and the stones of the Lamanites;

for behold, they fought with stones and with arrows.

Alma 49:4

But behold, how great was their disappointment;

for behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them,

which was so high that the Lamanites could not cast

their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect,

neither could they come upon them

save it was by their place of entrance.

Alma 49:19

And thus were the Nephites prepared to destroy all such

as should attempt to climb up to enter the fort by any other way,

by casting over stones and arrows at them.

Alma 49:22

Now when they found

that they could not obtain power over the Nephites by the pass,

they began to dig down their banks of earth

that they might obtain a pass to their armies,

that they might have an equal chance to fight;

but behold, in these attempts they were swept off

by the stones and arrows which were thrown at them;

and instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth,

they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.

Alma 49:24

There were about fifty who were wounded,

who had been exposed to the arrows of the Lamanites through the pass,

but they were shielded by their shields, and their breastplates, and their head-plates,

insomuch that their wounds were upon their legs,

many of which were very severe.
