Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 521: Battle of Wancheng (VI)

If it was the Wen Pin of thirty years ago, he might have been able to hold out for dozens of rounds against Feng Xi. But now that he was old and had lost most of his vitality, he was no longer qualified.

If Wen Pin did not have sufficient experience to make up for his current disadvantage of reduced physical strength, the outcome would probably have been decided even faster.

If Feng Xi hadn't interfered, Wen Pin would have died this year or next year. His death at the hands of Feng Xi did not violate his wish to die on the battlefield.

The two fought for less than 30 rounds when Feng Xi suddenly accelerated and used a long-planned change of tactics when both sides were exhausted. Wen Pin's degenerate brain didn't react until the tip of the gun was less than 30 centimeters away from his throat. It was too late for him to make any move. Feng Xi's gun head with the tassel directly pierced Wen Pin's throat.

His eyes flashed with various expressions such as surprise, relief, and worry. He opened his mouth, but could not say anything. In the end, he could only close his eyes helplessly.

"Father--!"

Wen Xiu, who had arrows stuck in his body, burst into tears when he saw this heart-breaking scene.

Although they are adopted sons, Wen Pin treats Wen Xiu and Wen Hou very well, just like his own sons, so the relationship between father and son is still very deep.

Because Wen Xiu moved too much, he tore the wounds on his body, and blood gushed out like water. Several arrowheads that had been cut off and stuck in his body also popped out, making Wen Xiu look like a bloody man.

"Are you willing to surrender? I will give General Wen a favor. If you are willing to lay down your weapons, our army can treat the prisoners well. If you intend to fight to the death, don't blame our army for being unkind."

Feng Xi ignored Wen Xiu who was standing there helplessly and furiously, but took out his tin horn and began to persuade the Wei army to surrender.

The Wei army was ready to make a move, but they were suppressed by the generals at that time, so they did not dare to have their own ideas. The generals were suppressed by Wen Xiu, and with the son of Wen Pin, how could they dare to mention surrender?
"What a wishful thinking! Today there are only warriors who died in battle, no cowards who surrendered!"

Needless to say, Wen Xiu's attitude was obvious. The revenge for his father's murder had only been going on for less than an incense stick of time, and Wen Xiu was very emotional. How could he surrender to his father's murderer immediately?
Wen Xiu was furious, pointing at Feng Xi and cursing non-stop. Feng Xi sighed and rode slowly towards Wen Xiu. Everyone thought that Feng Xi was trying to persuade Wen Xiu with his emotions and reason.

“Puchi——Guuu…”

Feng Xi's spear shot out like a dragon, piercing Wen Xiu's throat with one shot, just like the one that killed Wen Pin.

Wen Xiu himself did not expect that Feng Xi would kill him without saying a word in this atmosphere. He fell off his horse and died with his eyes open.

"Hasn't what I've said been clear enough? Lay down your weapons. Our army will treat prisoners kindly. Those who resist will be killed without mercy."

Feng Xi picked up the loudspeaker with his left hand and repeated it again.

Except for some die-hard followers of Wen Pin and his son who tried to coerce others, they were immediately killed by the surrounding Han army. Only then did these thousands of Wei troops become obedient.

"Let others take them back. You, what's your name? What's your position?"

Feng Xi ordered his soldiers to escort all the Wei troops back to the camp, and suddenly they stopped a Wei general wearing a white helmet.

"Ah? I am Li Xiang, the deputy commander of General Wen."

The Wei general was confused and answered honestly.

"Okay, thank you General Li Xiang. Give General Li Xiang some more meat tonight."

Feng Xi waved his hands, leaving Li Xiang confused, but he had gained some meat by saying just one sentence, so it was a good deal. "Bao Feng, select two thousand brothers to go ahead. We will take their bodies and go directly to the West Camp."

Although Feng Xi admired Wen Pin just now, it did not prevent Feng Xi from making something of the corpses of the father and son. To put it bluntly, the lives of the soldiers of the Han army were much more important than these illusory things.

"I'll do this and that later, got it?"

Feng Xi called Bao Feng over and gave him some instructions. Bao Feng frowned and didn't quite agree.

"Grand Commander, this matter is a bit dangerous. How about letting me go?"

Although Bao Feng admired Feng Xi, Feng Xi had a problem that was hard to say whether it was an advantage or a disadvantage, that is, he liked to take risks personally. Whether it was commanding, fighting, or these strategies, Feng Xi often liked to take part in the battle himself.

"If I don't go, you will? Although you are a little clever, you don't have the ability to adapt to changes. The other party gave you away with just two questions. How are you going to deal with it?"

Feng Xi glanced at Bao Feng unhappily. There was no other way. He had to be the initiator and implementer of many things, because only he could grasp the timing and ensure that everything went well.

"Don't worry, go find some wood and ropes, we need to get ready."

Feng Xi made some arrangements, and after the Han army had wasted a cup of tea, they disguised themselves as Wen Pin's troops and returned to the West Camp where Wen Pin was.

"Master Wen! Master Wen, open the door!"

Less than half an hour later, a group of Han soldiers wearing Han army armor and covered in dust arrived at the west camp.

"Who are you?"

Wen Hou had naturally read the art of war, so it was impossible for him to be tricked into opening the camp gate so easily. However, he thought the other party seemed familiar, but he was not sure.

"I am the deputy general of General Hou, Li Xiang! Just now our army attacked the Han army camp, but the enemy was well prepared and set up an ambush. General Wen Xiu was seriously injured, and General Hou also fought with the enemy general Feng Xi and was injured. He is now recuperating!"

As he spoke, Li Xiang took the torch from the soldier next to him and held it above the head of the man riding a horse next to him. Wen Hou looked and wondered who else could this man be but Wen Pin?

Wen Ping slowly raised his hand and waved at Wen Hou, then covered his mouth again, as if he was coughing. Li Xiang, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward and supported Wen Ping's back, as if to help him calm down.

When warriors fight each other, it is normal for those who suffer internal injuries to be unable to speak for a short period of time, or to not want to speak. Wen Hou saw that Wen Pin was already here, so it was not appropriate for him to ask more questions in such a situation.

In addition, there were several soldiers taking care of Wen Xiu who was lying on his horse, so Wen Hou could not see any problem. He opened the gate of the camp and went to greet his father and brother in person.

“Father, you…?”

When Wen Pin's horse entered the village gate, Wen Hou realized something was wrong. His father was like a sculpture, his hands seemed to be controlling the reins, but in fact they were just resting on the reins.

Wen Pin's body was straight, and his face could not be seen clearly before because of the light from the fire. Now Wen Hou could see it clearly. Wen Pin's eyes were closed, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Of course, none of this matters. The most important thing is that there is still a big hole in Wen Pin’s throat.
