Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 522: Battle of Wancheng (VII)

"Major General, the general wants you to come over!"

While Wen Hou was still stunned by Wen Pin's strange condition, Li Xiang's voice suddenly came from the side, making Wen Hou instinctively turn his head to look.

However, Li Xiang, who was half a horse length behind Wen Pin just now, continued to move forward with unabated momentum, and a bright beam of light pierced directly towards Wen Hou.

"you--!"

Wen Hou was horrified, but at this moment, because he had seen Wen Pin before, he was less wary of these "Wei soldiers". He was caught off guard and was stabbed in the throat by Li Xiang's gun.

"Soldiers, guard the gate and support the army!"

"Li Xiang" wiped his face to remove the dust and blood. Who else could it be but Feng Xi?

At this moment, the Han army, "disguised as 'disguised Han army' by the Wei army", scattered and seized the gate before the Wei army could react.

The two sides were engaged in hand-to-hand combat at the entrance to the camp, which resulted in many defensive weapons or tools being unable to be used. In addition, the highest commander Wen Hou was assassinated before the fight even started, so now the entire West Camp is in chaos, and many people don't even know whether the other side is an enemy or a friend.

"Are you guys planning to rebel? General Wen is here, how dare you attack me with weapons!"

Feng Xi once again made full use of his ability to stir up trouble, picking up the loud speaker and deliberately interfering with the judgment of the Wei army. Now there are only a few generals left in the entire Western Camp, and at most they can restrain the few people they are responsible for, and they have no way to take charge of the overall situation.

What's more, Feng Xi's stabbing of Wen Hou just now happened in a flash, and many people don't know what happened at all, so they are now in a state of confusion.

"There are spies sneaking in! The Han army is wearing our military uniforms and besieging General Wen!"

After Feng Xi killed the soldiers and officers on Wen Hou's side one by one, he simply started to cry thief and deliberately disrupted the Wei army's analytical ability.

The human brain also has processes. If there is too much information in a short period of time, they simply have no time and ability to analyze other things and can only deal with these "junk processes" one by one.

"The enemy is coming from the west gate!" "That squad is a rebel!" "Come and help General Wen!"

For a while, all kinds of miscellaneous information made the Wei army dizzy. No one could tell who were the rebels, who were the Han army, and who were their own people.

In this situation, the best thing to do is to use your own strength and take care of yourself first.

However, this situation is tantamount to giving the initiative to Feng Xi, who can do whatever he wants and issue orders.

"That battalion is on guard against us, they must be rebels!"

Feng Xi once again used the chicken feather as a sword. There was no other way. Now that everyone was confused about the situation, Feng Xi, who "held the imperial edict to command the army", was undoubtedly the most authoritative person.

Feng Xi was well versed in twenty of the Thirty-Six Strategies of Mixed Combat, and the art of taking advantage of troubled waters. Originally, the Han army of more than 2,000 people was at a disadvantage, but now the entire West Camp was in chaos, and he was the one who knew the whole story.

Feng Xi didn't need to do anything dangerous. He just needed to occupy the gate of the village and wait for Bao Feng to come with his army. Any rash action would make him the target of public criticism.

"Han army! The Han army is coming!" Soon, the Han army led by Bao Feng rushed towards the West Camp, causing many Wei soldiers who were still on guard against each other to look at Feng Xi and his men who were occupying the gate.

By now many people have realized that Feng Xi and his men are the rebels, and they occupied the gate in order to cooperate with the Han army from inside and outside.

"The traitor Cao has committed many evil deeds, earning the wrath of Heaven! Now General Wen has abandoned his evil ways and surrendered to the Han Dynasty! Why don't you dismount and surrender early, so you can still save your lives?"

Seeing that his plan had been discovered, Feng Xi did not care, because it was too late for the Wei army to retake the gate. The Han army had taken advantage of the chaos to completely control the south gate of the West Camp, and no matter how strong the fortress was, as long as there was a hole, it would fall sooner or later.

Moreover, Feng Xi also threw a basin of dirty water on the dead Wen Pin. Apart from other things, although Wen Pin was not moving here and could not move, no one paid attention to this at all, and they just thought it was no wonder.

Although Wen Pin had "rebelled", there were still many generals who were loyal to the Wei Dynasty. Seeing that things were going badly, they simply led their men to escape from the north gate and headed straight for the west gate of Wancheng.

However, there were also many people who were confused and at this time they were still thinking about defeating Feng Xi's troops and clearing out the Western Camp again.

However, less than a cup of tea had passed since the two sides had been fighting when a large group of Han troops led by Bao Feng arrived. Under the attack from both inside and outside, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties, with only a small number of defeated soldiers who escaped at night and their whereabouts are unknown.

By the time Feng Xi brought Bao Feng back to the camp, Xiang Chong and Bao Yi had already returned. They had also gained a lot tonight.

"Grand Commander, isn't this man Wen Pin?"

When Feng Xi ordered his men to bring Wen Pin and his horse back to the camp, the generals and officers of the Jingzhou army were stunned. They thought that Feng Xi was so powerful that he persuaded Wen Pin to surrender.

It was only after Bao Feng explained that everyone realized that it was Wen Pin's body. However, the fact that he was still alive made everyone puzzled. After all, according to Bao Feng, Feng Xi sneaked into the West Camp with the help of this body, and cooperated with Bao Feng to capture the West Camp.

It was not until Feng Xi ordered the soldiers to take off Wen Pin's armor that everyone understood why Wen Pin, a corpse, could sit so upright on the horse.

Wen Pin's entire body was fixed with thick wooden sticks and ropes, and he was covered with armor, which could not be seen without careful observation. Wen Pin's legs were also tied with ropes from under the horse's belly, and fixed with ropes close to the horse's belly, so that he would not fall off even when the warhorse was moving.

As for Wen Pin waving to Wen Hou in front of the village, it was even simpler. Feng Xi specially stuffed a thick wooden stick into the elbow of his left arm, leaving a small part exposed from the gap in the leather armor. Once his arm was lowered, it would be covered by the leather armor.

Feng Xi just had to manipulate the wooden stick behind him like a puppet, and Wen Pin's arm would be driven to move.

It's just that I can't control my fingers, but most people wouldn't be suspicious of this.

Feng Xi’s source of inspiration is still the hero El Cid, the Lord of Valencia, who is sung in the Spanish heroic epic.

It is said that El Cid was shot dead in the war between Valencia and the Almoravids, and the Almoravids wanted to take over Valencia in one fell swoop when El Cid's death and Valencia's morale hit the bottom. El Cid's wife Simone put his body on a horse and pretended that El Cid was still alive, which frightened the Almoravid army into retreating on their own.

In some sense, it is similar to the dead Zhuge Liang scaring off the living Zhongda at Wuzhangyuan, but it is obvious that Feng Xi at that time did not have time to find a lifelike wood carving.

Now it seems that this set of Western methods is also extremely effective. The Han army reaped great rewards in a melee last night.
