In the past, Jiang Wei was best at retreating. He fought in Guanlong. No matter whether he fought or not, the final result was retreating. Therefore, Jiang Wei developed a skill in retreat. No matter what the situation was in the past, Jiang Wei could ensure that he could retreat without any harm.

But this time the situation seemed to be exceptional. The Wei army was like a candy, sticking to the Shu army tightly and unable to get rid of it no matter how hard it was. Jiang Wei had already tried all his skills, but he still could not get rid of the Wei army's pursuit.

Of course, this is also related to the terrain. In the past, when fighting in Guanlong, the Shu army could retreat to the high mountains and ridges of the Qinling Mountains as soon as they retreated. Relying on the dangerous points of the Qinling Mountains, the Shu army could easily escape.

But this time it was different. Most of the retreat from Nan'an to Wuyang were plains and hilly areas. Such terrain was most suitable for the Wei cavalry. No matter how fast the Shu army ran with two legs, it was impossible for them to run four legs.

If there were no large number of troops who broke the rear and kept blocking the Wei army, the main troops led by Jiang Wei would have almost no chance to escape.

But even though the Shu army paid the loss of nearly half of its troops, it still failed to escape the pursuit of the Wei army. The Wei army was like a disgusting piece of dog skin plaster, and could not be shaken off no matter how hard it was.

The Shu army was extremely tired at this moment. The long-distance running along the way almost exhausted all their physical strength. If the Wei army continued to pursue and fight so relentlessly, the Shu army would likely face the danger of annihilation.

After all, according to the current situation, it is difficult for the Shu army to have the opportunity to escape back to Chengdu.

Many Shu army were completely desperate. In the past, they followed Jiang Wei to fight, no matter how victory or defeat, at least they could guarantee that there would be a way out. No matter how difficult the battle is or how difficult the battle is, they would have the opportunity to return to Shu, then regain their power and go on a war again. In this way, they never lost hope. They would always look forward to tomorrow and look forward to the next battle, which would really be able to recover the Heshi and return to the old capital.

But this retreat was a retreat that no longer saw hope. The Wei army was surrounded by shadows. No matter how the Shu army fled, the sudden sound of horse hooves always echoed in their ears.

Many Shu soldiers even suffered from delusional symptoms. Even if the Wei cavalry did not catch up for a while, the sound of horse hooves would still ring in their ears, which could not be removed.

Such an escape route made the soldiers of the Shu army exhausted, and pessimism and despair spread among the Shu army, and the entire army was on the verge of collapse.

Liao Hua said to Jiang Wei with concern: "General, the Wei army is pursuing urgently. If we don't find a way, we may not be able to return to Chengdu at all!"

Jiang Wei was also extremely calm at this moment, which was no different from Jiang Wei's usual demeanor. Jiang Wei did have the demeanor of a general in this regard, because he knew that as a main general, he must always be calm and calm. Panic cannot solve any problem, which will lead to worse results.

Although the current situation is more difficult, Jiang Wei still has a killer weapon that is useless. This killer weapon is nothing else, it is Zhamadai.

Horse-piercing is a powerful weapon to deal with cavalry. Although it is impossible to cause fatal damage to the enemy cavalry, it is still effective in delaying the pursuit of enemy cavalry. As long as a large number of horse-piercing nails are sprinkled on the necessary path of the Wei cavalry, the cavalry will be unable to pass. It is necessary to spend a lot of time to clear out these horse-piercing nails so that the cavalry can pass.

After the Wei army cleared these horse-piercing nails, the Shu army's troops had already fled and disappeared.

So Jiang Wei was not panicked, because he still had this method of putting the box in the bottom of the box. The main reason why Jiang Wei had not used it before was that the geographical conditions were not suitable.

Although horse-stapled nails are an important means to deal with cavalry, their conditions for use are still limited and must be used on narrow and inaccessible roads. If used in plains, if the Wei cavalry finds obstacles in front of them, they will take the initiative to bypass this area where horse-stapled nails are sprinkled. Unless the Shu army has enough horse-stapled nails and can sprinkle horse-stapled nails on all passages, it will be difficult to block the pursuit route of the Wei cavalry.

In fact, the number of horse-stabbing nails equipped by the Shu army is also limited and cannot be used in unlimited amounts, so Jiang Wei has been looking for a suitable place to place horse-stabbing nails.

Although most of the terrain along the way is dominated by plains and hills, it is not without dangerous mountain roads. There is a relatively steep mountain road west of Wuyang. Jiang Wei led the Shu army here along the way, hoping to use horse-drawn nails in this area to stop the pursuit of the Wei cavalry.

This mountain road is not wide, and the narrowest part is only about a dozen steps away. As long as the Shu army is covered with horse nails, the Wei army will not be able to pass through this section of the road if it is not cleared.

Cleaning up horse-drawn nails is a time-consuming and labor-consuming task. Moreover, the Shu army is walking and sprinkling. Many horse-drawn nails are hidden in the grass and are difficult to find. Once the war horse accidentally steps on the horse-drawn nails, the horse's hooves will be injured, and the war horse will lose its ability to move, and a war horse will be destroyed.

The number of horse nails scattered by the Shu army was calculated in thousands of cases. There were such dense gadgets along the way, which was enough to give the Wei army a headache.

When Jiang Wei saw the Wei army's pursuit approaching, he immediately asked the Shu army to move westward, abandoned the road, and walked towards the Wuyang path.

But the Wei army came very fast, and the Xiaoqi Battalion has always been known for its speed. This pursuit battle was naturally the first battle. They had wiped out many of the Shu army's broken rear teams along the way, and they were always biting the main force of the Shu army. At this moment, they were only seven or eight miles away from the Shu army's large group of troops, and they arrived in a short time.

Although the Shu army diverted to the Wuyang path under Jiang Wei's command, the speed of the Xiaoqi Camp was too fast. Before the Shu army could all enter the valley, the cavalry team of the Xiaoqi Camp was blocked and killed all the way.

At this time, someone needs to take the initiative to stand up and cut off the rear. Jiang Wei was originally planning to send younger generals to cut off the rear, but even if Liao Hua took the initiative to strike forward and fight with the Wei army, he completely ignored his old body.

Liao Hua led his army to fight to the death, blocking the Wei army out of the valley, and winning some precious time for the main force to retreat.
