Chapter 19: Death Chase

Deng Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Since the Han Dynasty dares to invade my great Deng, we have to pay the price. Yue Fei, let's leave this matter to you."

"Here!"

Han Army Camp

Fan Yi had already led the large army to evacuate towards Wuguan, leaving only Song Guang and Wang Ce to lead 30,000 troops to stay in the camp, but the camp of 200,000 troops could not be defended by just 30,000 people. So Song Guang and Wang Ce discussed rebuilding a camp.

But when they led their troops out of the camp, Yue Fei led the army to fight. The morale of the Han army was low. Although there were 30,000 people and there were also powerful generals like Song Guang, they still could not resist. At Wang Ce's suggestion, they retreated back to the original camp, but the remaining troops could not defend such a large camp at all. In desperation, the two had to give up the camp gate and leave only the gate to the west to facilitate breaking through, and then lined up to defend.

The Han army gave up the camp gate, and Yue Fei led the army to kill in and confront the Han army.

"Listen to the Han army opposite, Fan Yi has been defeated and fled. If you continue to fight stubbornly, it is only a dead end. I, Wang Ren, don't want to kill more. As long as you put down your weapons and surrender, our country will treat the prisoners preferentially." Yue Fei rode his horse in front and shouted loudly to the Han army.

In the Han army formation, Wang Ce and Song Guang were anxious. In the battle just now, they lost thousands of troops. What's more, the remaining food was lost. Now they had no food. Even if the Deng army did not attack, they would not last long.

"General Wang, what do you think? We have run out of food. If we continue like this, we can't survive. Let's make an idea." Song Guang asked Wang Ce urgently. He originally planned to fight the Deng army to the death, but now he doesn't have to die. His mind is alive. Song Guang was originally a Korean, but because South Korea values ​​culture and over military affairs, he can't see hope in South Korea, so he went west to Han. He has only joined the Han army in recent years. He does not have a strong sense of belonging to the Han country. Moreover, his family is in South Korea, and surrender is nothing for him, and he has tried his best.

When Wang Ce heard Song Guang's inquiry, he also knew that Song Guang was planning to surrender, and felt bitter in his heart. He was different from Song Guang. He was a native of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty had great kindness to him. Wang Ce originally was just a poor family. He fought on the battlefield for more than ten years in the Han Dynasty, which had many families and had achieved his current status. He couldn't bear to leave it, but Song Guang was right. They had already run out of food now. If they didn't surrender, they might not be able to survive.

Wang Ce looked at the Han soldiers around him. They all looked at him, their eyes full of desire. They also hoped that they could surrender and they wanted to survive.

"Forget it, surrender." After a long time, Wang Ce gave the order to surrender with a weak expression.

In front of the two armies, Yue Fei rode his horse in front, holding a spear, and all the soldiers of the Deng army were waiting for the battle. Just waiting for Yue Fei's order, he launched an attack on the Han army.

"The whole army obeys the order..." Just as Yue Fei was about to give the order, the Han army formation slowly opened. Wang Ce and Song Guang both walked out, came to Yue Fei's horse, knelt down on one knee, and said, "The defeated general Wang Ce (Song Guang) paid homage to General Yue. We are overestimating our abilities and attempt to fight against the heavenly soldiers. Now we are at the end of our journey. We come and ask for surrender. We hope that the general will be merciful and spare the lives of our soldiers."

When Yue Fei heard that the two of them were here to surrender, he was overjoyed and quickly turned over and dismounted, and helped them up and said, "The two generals are very happy. The two generals, my king has given orders. As long as you abandon your weapons and surrender, my king will not blame you."

"General Xie." After receiving Yue Fei's guarantee, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the entire army to put down their weapons.

Yue Fei handed over the surrendered Han army to Huang Biao for treatment, and left behind 10,000 troops and led the remaining 40,000 troops to continue pursuing the Han army.

Although Fan Yi led the army to march all the way, Wang Ce and his two were defeated too quickly, which led to Fan Yi not going very far, and he only had twenty miles of plans. He was harassed by Zhang Fei, Yang Yanzhao and Wang Yanzhang along the way, resulting in a great obstacle to the speed of the marching.

"General, our army has now left Xi County for twenty miles. We marched all the way, and the soldiers were very tired. The general thought it would be better to take a break for a while and wait for the soldiers to recover their strength before rushing to the road." Wei Ning quickly came to Fan Yi's side. He marched all the way, and with insufficient food and grass, the entire Han army has tightened his pants these days, and only had one meal a day. His physical strength was consumed too quickly and he could not be replenished. The whole army complained. In order to avoid a change of wax and defection, Wei Ning suggested that Fan Yi have a rest.

Fan Yi frowned and said, "I know that the soldiers are very tired, but Deng Jun is right behind and may come up at any time." He also knew that this was not a solution, but when Deng Jun was killing him at any time, Fan Yi still couldn't take it lightly.

"General, we have only been evacuated from Xi County for half a day. Wang Ce and Song Guang have 30,000 people in line to defend. There are not a few days before the Deng army can break through. We still have time. Besides, we have many troops along the way, and the soldiers are exhausted too much physical and mental. If we keep marching in a hurry, even if we reach Wuguan, we will not be able to attack the city." Wei Ning was still persuading.

Fan Yi thought about it and felt that Wei Ning was right. Wang Ce and his team had 30,000 troops. No matter how powerful Deng's army was, they could withstand it for a few days. So he nodded and agreed to Wei Ning's proposal. But what he didn't expect was that Wang Ce and Song Guang surrendered less than a few hours after they left. It was this stop that made the Han army ruin his last hope.

After two hours of rest, Fan Yi and others planned to set off again. When the Han generals gathered their troops, the pursuers led by Yue Fei arrived.

While the Han army was resting, most of the soldiers took off their clothes. Deng army suddenly arrived. Before they could react, they did not dare to stop and respond to Yue Fei's attack, so they had to call the army to evacuate quickly. In this way, the 70,000 Han army was defeated by 40,000 Deng army, and more than half of them were lost.

"General, this is not a solution. Let the last general lead a group of troops to cut off the rear, and the general evacuated quickly." After Wei Ning killed a Deng army soldier, he came to Fan Yi and said, in order to get rid of Deng's army, Wei Ning asked Fan Yi for his order, and asked himself to lead a group of troops to cut off the rear, and asked Fan Yi to lead most of the troops to evacuate.

Fan Yi looked at Wei Ning and said, "Precaution for General Wei!" After that, he led the large army to quickly evacuate the battlefield.

"Dun!" Yue Fei saw Fan Yi running away and was about to chase him, but was stopped by Wei Ning. Yue Fei had no choice but to watch Fan Yi evacuate the battlefield.

Yue Fei looked at Wei Ning with a chill look on his face and said, "Wei Ning, Fan Yi has already escaped. Do you think you can stop me by relying on you? I respect you as a man and have good abilities. If you surrender, I will spare you."

"Bah! Yue Fei, this general is deeply favored by the king and General Fan. How could he be a villain? Stop talking nonsense. If you want to catch up with General Fan, you must step over to the body of your general." Wei Ning was completely unmoved by Yue Fei's persuasion to surrender.

"It's stubborn. Since you insist on dying, then I will fulfill your wishes. The soldiers obey the orders and kill them for me." Yue Fei saw that Wei Ning was so stubborn, so he stopped talking and directly ordered the army to cover up and kill him. He had fought with Wei Ning, and knew that Wei Ning was not weak. It was impossible for him to defeat Wei Ning without hundreds of rounds. In order not to let Fan Yi run away, he had to order the siege and kill Wei Ning.

After half an hour of bloody battle, most of the Han army that was cut off was annihilated, and the rest were abandoned and surrendered.

Yue Fei looked at Wei Ning, who was covered in wounds and covered in blood, and couldn't help but admire him, saying, "Wei Ning, you have already lost your situation, so you should give up. As the saying goes, those who know the times are heroes, you have done your best for the Han Dynasty. I believe Fan Yi will not blame you."

Wei Ning stood up with a long sword, glanced at the surroundings with a tiger's eyes and said with a smirk: "Yue Fei, there is no need to say much. Today, I will let you speak so much that I will never surrender. Since I can't stop you, I have to die to thank the king." After that, he faced the west and swung his sword and committed suicide. Before he died, Wei Ning looked at the west and murmured: "King, General, Wei Ning was incompetent and could not stop Deng's army, so he had to apologize for his death. In all the next life, he will repay the king and the general's kindness of his grace."

Yue Fei looked at Wei Ning who would rather die than surrender, and Yousheng admired him and said, "He is really a loyal and righteous man, and he is buried with a grand ceremony."
