Sima Lun finally waved the sword in his hand, and for a moment, the entire sky above the Dengying Gorge was immediately covered by dense rain of arrows. Countless arrows flew down into the canyon, covering the Dengying Gorge in a storm of arrow wind and arrow rain.

There is an ambush!

Only then did the Wei army realize that they had been ambushed by the Shu army. However, for the Tunqi Camp, these arrow rains were just drizzles. Arrows fell on their helmets, armors, and horse armors, and they could not cause any substantial damage at all. They could only hear a jingle and the arrows landed one after another.

But the Jinqi Camp suffered. Although the soldiers of the Jinqi Camp were wearing armor, most of their armor was lighter fish-scale armor, which was much lighter than the heavy armor of the tun cavalry, so their protection ability was naturally incomparable.

This fish scale armor has a certain effect in defending against long-distance bows or stray arrows, but it is impossible to resist the enemy in the face of such a dense rain of arrows.

More importantly, the war horses of the Jinqi Camp did not have horse armor like the Tunqi Camp. The Shu army's arrows shot over and attacked them completely indiscriminately. Those war horses without protection became victims first.

Although the cavalry can protect their shields above their heads and barely protect their heads and torso, the war horses don’t care at all. Many war horses are shot and fall to the ground, and the cavalry is thrown all over the ground.

In the darkness, the fallen cavalry is extremely dangerous. Not only will they be injured by arrows, but the Wei army is also ambushed at this moment. The first reaction is to retreat. Among the chaos, the soldiers who landed on the ground may be trampled on by war horses and died.

When Wang Hui and Zhang Qiao saw that the situation was not good, they immediately ordered the Tunqi Camp and Jinqi Camp to retreat and evacuate from Dengying Gorge first.

But how could Sima Lun let them get away easily? He prepared a lot of stones on the top of the mountain in Dengying Gorge. At this moment, he pushed the stones down the mountain with one stroke. The rocks roared down, killing and injuring countless Wei troops.

The cavalrymen were wearing heavy armor and were not afraid of crossbows, but no matter how strong their defense was, could they resist huge rocks?

Especially when the huge rocks of hundreds of kilograms rolled down from the top of the mountain, their power was amazing. Even if the cavalrymen were armed to their teeth, they would still be crushed into meat pie once they were hit by stones.

If it is an open area, the Shu army can only use bows, arrows, crossbows, and stones are not worthy of use at all. Naturally, the cavalry will not be afraid of ambushing mainly by the Shu army, but in this narrow canyon, these stones will be of great use. Throwing the stones from both sides of the canyon can almost cover the entire canyon. Only the Wei army who stayed in a relatively wide area will survive.

However, for Simalun, he specially prepared this big banquet this time, which had several hard dishes, bows and arrows and huge rocks, which were just appetizers before the meal, and the real killer move was still behind.

The Shu army threw huge rocks from the top of the mountain in large numbers, not trying to kill all the Wei army in one breath. At this time, there were at least tens of thousands of Wei cavalry that rushed into Dengying Gorge. Even if the terrain was suitable, the Shu army did not have so many stones.

After all, Simalun had just prepared for this ambush a few days ago. There were only a few stones that could be mined. It was okay to use it to block the passages in front of the gorge and behind the gorge. If you really had to use stones to launch a large-scale attack, it would be beyond your ability.

Therefore, Sima Lun ordered the throwing of stones, and the purpose was to block the narrower sections of the canyon. The wider sections were beyond reach, but there were also many narrower places in the Dingying Gorge. As long as the Shu army threw down huge rocks in these narrow areas, it could still successfully cut off some of the Wei army's retreat.

For a moment, the huge rocks rolled down, like a mountain collapse and the earth-shattering sound resounded throughout the canyon. The Wei army's long snake-like formation was cut into several sections by the Shu army.

The huge rocks blocked the way, and the war horses were unable to pass. Even if Wang Hui and Zhang Qiao issued an order to retreat at this moment, most of the Wei troops were trapped in the same place and there was no time to withdraw.

The war horses have become a burden at this moment. When Wang Hui saw that the situation was not good, he could only order the cavalry to abandon the horses and let the soldiers climb over the pile of rocks and withdraw from the Dengying Gorge first.

As for the trapped Jinqi Camp, there are not many survivors at this moment. Under the blow of arrow rain and rocks, the Jinqi Camp that rushed into the canyon suffered heavy casualties.

Zhang Qiao couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, he just followed the Tunqi Camp, and most of his troops were behind and did not enter the canyon. Otherwise, the Jinqi Camp would probably be destroyed by the regiment.

The Tunqi camp is better, but it is not better to go there. They can withstand the attacks of crossbows, but they cannot withstand the attacks of rocks. There are many cavalrymen who were killed and injured.

What is even more difficult now is that rocks block the way and war horses are difficult to move. The camp has a lot of defense, but it cannot avoid the summons of death.

Even if they abandoned their horses and fled at this moment, the canyon of Dengying Gorge was deep, especially the Wei army that had penetrated deep into the canyon, how could they escape by walking alone?

At this moment, Sima Lun also saw that the Wei army tried to abandon their horses and escape on foot. He sneered secretly, "She is in the trap, where can we escape?"

Sima Lun ordered the final killer to be used, and the Shu army threw down the fire-induced objects from the top of the mountain, including hay, firewood, oil, torn clothes, etc. As long as the things that could lead to the fire, they would throw them down.

Simalun did not dare to place these fire-induced objects in the canyon in advance, for fear that it would arouse the suspicion of the Wei army, so he simply piled them on the top of the mountain. After trapping the Wei army with rocks, Simalun ordered a fire attack, hoping to burn tens of thousands of Wei troops to death in the Dingying Gorge in one fell swoop

In order to design this ambush, it was indeed a lot of Sima Lun's thoughts. He also knew that the Wei army had such powerful cavalry as the Tun Cavalry Camp. They ignored the bows and crossbows, and ordinary ambushings would not have any effect at all, so they decided on this fire attack plan.

Although the fire attack is powerful, it cannot be used at will due to the limitations of conditions. Only a place where Dengying Gorge is so dangerous and narrow is the best place.

Sima Lun first used bows and arrows to disrupt the formation of the Wei army, and then used rocks to seal the Wei army's retreat. Finally, he used fire attack method to prepare to kill the Wei army that entered the valley in one fell swoop.

After the Shu army abandoned piles of fire-driven objects, they threw countless torches from the top of the mountain. The fire was dry and the fire was burning at once. Suddenly, the entire canyon was trapped in a sea of ​​fire, with flames soaring into the sky, reflecting the dark night sky becoming a red.
