When the Wei army was pursuing, of course, they used torches. They didn't care whether they were exposed or not. The purpose of using torches was very clear, that is, to provide lighting and provide good conditions for the advancement of the Wei cavalry.

However, the range of the torch shines is relatively limited. You can see the closer targets more clearly, and you can see the far targets very clearly. In addition, it was cloudy that night. Not to mention the moonlight, even the starlight never saw a star. The gloomy sky was completely out of nowhere.

If there were no torches to light them, not only would the Shu army not be able to withdraw smoothly, but the Wei army could not pursue them. Therefore, at night, the torches naturally became lighting tools that both sides used together.

The characteristic of the torch is far away but not near is actually not affected by the Shu army. After all, the Shu army is relatively familiar with this road. As long as they can clearly see the road ahead, they can identify which road to take.

But the Wei army was different. They knew nothing about the situation ahead and could only follow the Shu army and bite it tightly, not giving the Shu army a chance to escape.

According to the attack plan of the Wei army, it is currently located in Mount Yiting, and the terrain here is relatively complex. Therefore, if the Wei army is not aware of the geography, it is best to use the method of chasing the tail. First, it will not get lost, and second, the Wei army can wait for an opportunity to move. Once it leaves Mount Yiting, and after the daytime, its vision will become much wider, and the Wei army can implement the tactic of roundabout encirclement and encircle the Shu army and annihilate it.

As long as you enter a flat area, the Shu army will definitely not be able to escape. The interweaving and encirclement of the Wei cavalry is already very powerful. As long as the terrain is suitable, no infantry can escape the Wei cavalry's division and joint attack.

However, due to the influence of the terrain, the Wei army's encirclement plan cannot be implemented at all. They can only use the method of following up and watch over the Shu army first so that they will not have the chance to escape. As for what they can take a bite, it is just a bite.

This method of gradual erosion is actually very effective. If the Wei cavalry attacked the Shu army one by one, it would be a good method. On the one hand, it could eliminate the Shu army, and on the other hand, it could minimize the casualties on their own side. It can be said that it would kill two birds with one stone.

Now all the Wei army is focused on pursuing the Shu army, and they have ignored the potential danger. Anyway, the defense of the heavily armored cavalry in the Tunqi Camp is unmatched by anyone in the world, and they are not afraid of all cold arrows. Even if the Shu army dares to set up an ambush on the road, it will be difficult to hurt the Tunqi Camp at all.

Therefore, the Tunqi Camp would not worry about any accidents, and would drive straight in and pursue them non-stop.

Although the Jinqi Camp does not have the protection methods like the Tunqi Camp, they have the Tunqi Camp to give them courage. Anyway, wherever the Tunqi Camp appears, they will follow them like shadows. It seems that they can benefit from it even when they are close to Tunqi Camp like this.

In this way, the Wei army pursued and rushed to Dengying Gorge.

Due to the limited range of torches, the Wei army was not sure where they were chasing the whole way. Even if it was such a dangerous place in Dengying Gorge, if it were during the day, the Wei cavalry would definitely stop chasing first, and then investigate the situation ahead before chasing.

But it is midnight now. Although the two armies have many torches, the range of fire light is really limited. You can only see the situation not far away around you, but you can't see the situation on the top of the canyon at all.

Along the way, the mountain road was winding and almost no place was easy to walk on. It was no surprise that the Wei cavalry had prepared for this. However, after entering the Dengying Gorge, the Wei cavalry still did not notice the danger approaching them, and continued to erode the Shu army's rear guards at the established rhythm.

When Sima Lun saw that the Wei army had already chased Dengying Gorge, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had already made careful arrangements in Dengying Gorge. If the Wei army did not enter Dengying Gorge, wouldn't Sima Lun's all plans be lost?

Sima Lun's worries are not unreasonable. After all, Sima Lun is also a person from the Wei army system. He had fought with Cao Liang many times and was at a disadvantage every time. Ambushing is the strength of the Shu army. How could Wei be unprepared in this regard?

Once the Wei army saw through its ambush plan, Sima Lun would have wasted all his previous efforts and would not cause severe damage to the Wei army, and they would still pursue them relentlessly.

Sima Lun knew that only in the area of ​​Qianting Mountain could the Shu army have the hope of getting rid of the Wei army. Once the area of ​​Qianting Mountain was out of Qianting Mountain, the terrain would not be as complex and rugged as it was. The advantage of the Wei cavalry in the flat areas would be like a nightmare for the Shu army.

At this moment, Simalun stood on the canyon and he traveled early. When the Wei army launched a pursuit, Simalun had already arrived at Dengying Gorge first and personally climbed to the top of the gorge.

On the canyon of Dengying Gorge, eight thousand Shu troops were waiting for battle, but Sima Lun did not alert the snake. Although the Wei army had already chased the Shu army into Dengying Gorge at this moment, it was not the best time to take action. At least, Sima Lun would order an attack after most of the Wei army's troops entered Dengying Gorge.

If this attack was carried out too early, the Wei army would retreat as soon as it encountered an ambush and would not lose many people, so Simalun would not be able to catch a big fish.

Only after most of the Wei army enters Dengying Gorge and the Shu army launches an attack at this time can we gain greater gains. Dengying Gorge is at least ten miles long and can swallow a lot of Wei army. Therefore, it is still necessary for Sima Lun to let the Shu army wait patiently.

Until the Wei army's vanguard plunged into the Dengying Gorge, there was a constant fierce battle with the Shu army's rear guard troops. Of course, this fierce battle was also a crushing force of the Wei army's cavalry. The retreating force of the Shu army could not be the opponent of the cavalry guarding the whole body with armor on its body.

After the ruthless crushing, many bodies of the Shu army were left in the Dingying Gorge. Although the Tunqi Camp was in Jue Valley, it was still so arrogant. They wanted to step on the Shu army's corpse and trample all the Shu army's men under its horse's hooves.

The Shu army on the top of the mountain was already full of righteous indignation. The Wei army's cavalry was too rampant. Relying on the advantages of the cavalry, they were so rampant. If Sima Lun had no orders before, they would have wished they would have shot arrows to kill these Wei soldiers.
