Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 147. Battle of Fancheng (XII)
"hiss……!"

Cao Zhen saw that Feng Xi stabbed Lü Jian to death on the spot after he made a mistake, and he couldn't help but gasp. After all, although Lü Jian was a hindrance, he was still a general of Wei, which made Cao Zhen a little frightened.

Cao Zhen couldn't help but glance at Niu Jin. Niu Jin's offensive was just resolved by Feng Xi again. At this moment, he looked worried, and it was obvious that he was not very optimistic about the prospect of continuing the fight.

"I have heard of General Wen's great name for a long time. I have come here today to ask my brother for advice!"

Bao Feng and Cheng Wu fought for more than ten rounds, and Cheng Wu felt exhausted and rode away. Bao Feng saw that Cheng Wu's retreat was not so difficult, and the Wei army behind him was also waiting in full battle array, so he did not dare to chase him, and simply rode over to help his brother fight Wen Pin.

"Tsk..."

Wen Pin couldn't help but sigh when he saw Bao Feng carrying a 120-jin iron drill coming towards him. Bao Yi in front of him was already an extraordinary martial artist. It would be a stretch for him to fight him in a 100-round fight. If the fight lasted for a long time, he would surely lose.

As Bao Yi's elder brother, Bao Feng has even more terrifying weapons in his hands. No matter how you think about it, there is no way he can be inferior to Bao Yi. If the two of them attack him together, he would be in danger.

With this in mind, Wen Pin found an opportunity to escape and rode away, no longer entangled with Bao Yi. Bao Yi did not expect Wen Pin to run away, and after losing the initiative, he rode away to chase him.

"Archers, prepare!"

When Cao Ren saw Wen Pin escape, he immediately ordered the Wei army to prepare for cover. If Bao Yi dared to continue chasing him, he would not mind shooting him into a sieve, thus killing a great general of the Han army.

"Ayi, don't chase him! Please spare his life!"

Bao Feng was worried that his brother was in danger, so he quickly called Bao Yi. Bao Yi then saw that the bright arrows of the Wei army were pointing at him. He cursed and quickly pulled the reins to ride back to the formation.

Guan Xing was no longer able to interfere with Xu Shang, and he pressed on step by step. Xu Shang was already at a disadvantage, and it was even difficult for him to save his life. Xu Shang was relieved when the four generals of the Wei army came out together, but in the end, two Han soldiers stopped the four men, and Xu Shang had no choice but to continue fighting with Guan Xing.

"Kuai! Hula..."

But how could Xu Shang be a match for Guan Xing? He fought for another seven rounds, but Guan Xing seized the opportunity when Xu Shang was already old and had no new strength. With one strike of his sword, Xu Shang only had time to let out a scream before Guan Xing chopped him and his horse into four pieces diagonally, and his internal organs and filth immediately flowed all over the ground.

"Tsk. The revenge for Fancheng was just taken."

Guan Xing spat with disdain, and looked at Cao Ren in the Wei army with burning eyes. Although the Eastern Wu was the main plotter of Guan Yu's defeat that day, the Wei army was also an accomplice. Cao Ren, Xu Shang, Lu Jian, Xu Huang...all these enemies are now present, and Guan Xing wishes he could kill them all.

In the Wei army, Cao Ren looked at Lü Jian and Xu Shang lying in a pool of blood, his face as gloomy as water. The Han army had so many talented people, and today's battle reminded him of the Battle of Hanzhong mentioned in the battle report.

I heard that in the Battle of Hanzhong in the past, Liu Bei's generals such as Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others were all there. Even though Cao's army also had famous generals such as Zhang He, Cao Zhang and Xiahou Yuan at that time, they were still unable to stop Liu Bei's steps, and finally had to withdraw from Yangping Pass and even the entire Hanzhong.

Now, in the small city of Fancheng, Cao Ren looked around and wondered which one of Feng Xi, Guan Xing, and the Bao brothers was inferior to him?

"I really don't know what kind of magic power that big-eared thief has that can make the world's bravest men rush to fight for him..."

Cao Ren couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

"Feng Xi, you little brat, stop being so arrogant! Do you really think you are the reincarnation of Lu Bu?!" Cao Zhen roared, pointed his spear at Feng Xi, his eyes flashing with unwillingness, anger, and even a bit of desperate struggle. Seeing this, Niu Jin also tightly grasped his Ma Shuo, and although he was hesitant, he was still ready to attack Feng Xi together with Cao Zhen.

Facing the combined forces of Cao Zhen and Niu Jin, Feng Xi's expression remained calm. Feng Xi's spear skills were like a violent storm, yet he was as hard to find as a dragon in the fog, forcing Cao Zhen and Niu Jin to defend themselves.

"Feng Xi, although you are brave, you are just one man with one gun. If you dare to be so arrogant, I will make sure you never return!"

Cao Zhen gnashed his teeth and his spear skills became more and more fierce. Niu Jin did not try to fish in troubled waters again, but kept probing from the side, trying to find Feng Xi's flaws.

However, Feng Xi's spear skills were far beyond their imagination. The red tassel spear shuttled like a swimming dragon, and every swing brought an irresistible momentum. Although Cao Zhen and Niu Jin tried their best, they still couldn't suppress Feng Xi's edge.

At this moment, a burst of rapid blasts suddenly sounded from the Wei army's formation.

"Cao Zhen, Niu Jin, retreat quickly!" Cao Ren ordered loudly, his voice still as calm as a well, no trace of sadness or joy could be heard, as if Xu Shang and Lu Jian had died in vain. Although Cao Zhen and Niu Jin were unwilling to give up, the military order was as firm as a mountain, so they immediately jumped out of the circle and rode back to the battle formation.

Feng Xi saw that the Wei army was already on full alert and that the two men did not leave in a panic, so he simply did not shoot any arrows and just watched them leave.

At this point, Cao Wei's six generals fought against Feng Xi's four men, and Guan Xing and Feng Xi killed two of them. However, Cao Ren also had a full understanding of the strength of the Han army's generals, and he would never give such an opportunity so easily in the future.

"General, I am ashamed..."

Cao Zhen, Niu Jin and Wen Pin came to Cao Ren, looking ashamed. After all, six of them went up to fight the Han army, outnumbering the weak, and they had not even won the battle, with only four of them left. It was really embarrassing.

"It's okay. The generals of the Han army are very powerful. From now on, you are not allowed to go into battle without my orders."

Cao Ren waved his hand. He was very familiar with this matter. He had the same attitude when Guan Yu attacked last year.

"Withdraw the troops and return to the camp. Be careful and alert."

Cao Ren spoke briefly and to the point. Today, two generals were lost and the morale was low. It was not suitable to continue the attack. It would be better to let the soldiers rest for a day.

Feng Xi also retreated safely back to the city. His goal was achieved. He dampened the Wei army's momentum and caused their morale, which had risen because Feng Xi abandoned the camp outside the city and retreated to Fancheng, to rise again.

Today, both sides just lived in peace and just stared at each other.

"Grand Commander, we are fighting the general of Cao Wei today. Why don't we pursue him and attack his camp at night to kill him again?"

Bao Feng asked in the prefect's mansion.

"We were lucky to have the advantage during the day. Cao Ren is a coward. Seeing how powerful our generals are, he must have prepared for the camp long ago. Now if we go out of the city to attack the camp again, failure is a small matter. If the enemy army takes advantage of the situation to pursue the defeated army into the city, everything will be over."

Feng Xi patiently explained the reason to Bao Feng and dispelled his unrealistic ideas.
