Ding Feng (onyomi: Tei Hō) is a military general who served under Wu during the late Three Kingdoms era. He is famed as a brave warrior and skilled strategist. He is posthumously celebrated as one of the Five Veterans of Wu. Romance of the Three Kingdoms credits him as the one who kills Zhang Liao. His younger brother shares his name.

Prior to his playable Dynasty Warriors appearance, Ding Feng was a non playable character since Dynasty Warriors 2. In Gamecity's Dynasty Warriors 7 character popularity poll, he reached fifty-ninth place; he placed seventy-fifth in the Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends popularity poll. The latest poll for the eighth installment puts him in seventy-ninth. The character poll for overseas fans puts him in nineteenth place for the Wu division.

Role in Games[]

Dynasty Warriors[]

In his playable Dynasty Warriors appearance, Ding Feng first appears during Wu's Story Mode for their offensive at Nanjun. He follows Gan Ning throughout the stage, offering directions and reports of Liu Bei's reinforcements. During Sun Quan's charge at Dongkou, Ding Feng keeps the morale of the soldiers high by encouraging them to not falter.

During Jin's Story Mode, he acts as one of the last Wu generals from Sun Quan's time to continue defending his country. Ding Feng leads the Wu reinforcements for Wang Ling, Guanqiu Jian, Wen Qin, and Zhuge Dan's rebellions against the Sima family. In Zhuge Dan's campaign to take Battle of Dongxing, he smashes apart the eastern bridge on the map to isolate the Wei general. His actions separate the Wei army, forcing the lazy Sima Zhao to reinforce his ally. He participates in Wu's invasion of Hefei Castle in an attempt to take a position in Wei. Though defeated in combat, he lives to rescue his country's commander, Zhuge Ke, from Sima Shi.

His first Legendary Battle has Ding Feng prove his might against several generals in Wu's army. Ding Feng's secondary Legendary Battle lets players play as the Wu side of Dongxing. Ding Feng protects his homeland and comrades from Wei's army.

The Xtreme Legends expansion has Ding Feng's Hero Scenario take place at Dongxing, offering a slightly different perspective than the original title. He supports Zhuge Ke's strategies to defend his homeland's landscapes at Wu. With Lian Shi's help, he defeats the Wei generals from overwhelming the ally main camp. They then head south to ambush the enemy camp from the rear. The tactical maneuver is a homage to the departed Gan Ning, something which Ding Feng nostalgically remarks after using it to defeat Sima Zhao.

After the battle, Ding Feng remembers the smiles of his comrades within the snowy battlefield. He admits to Lian Shi that while he is lonesome, he will always remember his allies who he fought beside to protect his beloved Wu. To honor their memory, Ding Feng swears to never falter in his duties.

In the sixth chapter of Dynasty Warriors Next, Ding Feng is initially available as a playable officer of Wu. He and Zhou Tai are charged with the defense of their main camp at Hefei during Sun Quan's absence. However, both men are forced to leave the area due to Zhang Liao's relentless assault. He is also a persistent opponent in Jin's chapter where his attack on Hefei Castle is thwarted by Sima Shi.

In the eighth installment of Dynasty Warriors, Ding Feng is a key supporter of the Sun Family, appearing during the reign of Sun Ce. After Sun Ce's death, he continues to aid Sun Quan in battles, fighting Wei at Hefei and Chibi, and defending Wu at Yiling. During the battle of Shouchun, Ding Feng is ambushed and killed by Zhang Liao. However, if players choose to remain with him, they can defeat Zhang Liao and save Ding Feng.

In Jin's story, he outlives the majority of his friends and is among those fighting in Dongxing before pushing Wei back to New Hefei Castle. In the alternate path, Wu is destroyed by Wei, and Ding Feng leads his remaining comrades alongside the Shu remnants to Chibi where they are defeated by the Sima family once and for all.

In the expansion, Ding Feng makes sporadic appearances in Wu and Jin's story modes. He appears as one of the reinforcements at Jiangling for Wu. In Jin's storyline, he blocks off the reinforcements' path at Hefei Castle, reinforces Wen Qin at Shouchun, and helps Zhong Hui's attack at Shangyong.

Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed gives Ding Feng a bond story that highlights major events throughout his life. While attacking Cao Pi's forces, he almost manages to kill the Wei ruler only to end up shooting a defending Zhang Liao instead. His heroics earn him Sun Quan's praise and a promotion from the latter's son Sun Liang. One of Ding Feng's more notable feats has him catch his opponents off guard by leading a melee squad during the harsh winter.

After his failure to reinforce Zhuge Dan during his rebellion, Ding Feng returns home to find himself entangled in a political struggle between Sun Chen and Sun Xiu. Though he willingly helps Sun Xiu overthrow his rival, it ends up worsening Wu's inner turmoil and makes him more enemies. With him having passed on during the tyrannical Sun Hao's reign, his family is ultimately exiled to Linchuan.

In Dynasty Warriors 9, Ding Feng is among the fresh recruits joining Wu shortly after Sun Quan took command after the passing of his elder brother Sun Ce, joined by Xu Sheng, Zhu Ran, and Lu Xun. He is first seen training with them under Zhou Tai and Lu Meng's supervision before Sun Quan arrived and properly met them. After that, Ding Feng assists in the alliance with Liu Bei against Cao Cao at Chibi, and then facing Wei and Shu in battles at Nanjun, Hefei, Ruxukou, and more. Even after Cao Cao and Liu Bei pass away shortly after the battles at Fan Castle and Yiling respectively, Ding Feng continues to fight for Wu right up to the closing years of the Three Kingdoms era.

His ending has him fighting off hundreds of Wei soldiers alone, but remembering the words of his fallen comrades, such as Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Xu Sheng, and Gan Ning, he continues to keep fighting, treating Wu like a sailing ship that he will never let sink as he'll defend Wu with his own two hands before charging back into the battle with a roar.

Warriors Orochi[]

Warriors Orochi has Ding Feng serve as Sun Quan's replacement officer during Wu's attack on Koshi Castle.

In Warriors Orochi 3, Ding Feng is one of the many officers who lost their lives at Odawara Castle in the original timeline. Due to the coalition's meddling of past events, however, they have a fighting chance against the serpent army. Saved from his death in the past, Ding Feng gratefully joins the coalition in the future. He later helps Ujiyasu regain Kotarō's loyalty at Shouchun.

During Warriors Orochi 4, Ding Feng was originally accompanying Sun Quan's forces as they were about to face the Wei army at Guangling. They are soon surrounded by a heavy fog which eventually transports them to the new world. Confused, they mistake the Tokugawa army of Naotora and Tadakatsu for enemies and attack them.

Once the misunderstanding is cleared, both armies merge to continue wandering the land. After joining Liu Bei's rebel army, Ding Feng accompanies his lord in facing Sun Jian at Guandu.

During one of the DLC scenarios, he joins Takakage Kobayakawa and Zhang Fei in searching for Odin's wine of the gods.

Development[]

Wanting a veteran general for Wu's later years, Ding Feng was added to the playable cast. From head to toe, he was designed to be the "super" muscle character. To make him a contrast to other power characters, his hobby of peaceful poetry was added to his character.

Personality[]

Ding Feng looks and speaks with the voice of a terrifying giant, often scaring people who he meets with his tall, frightening appearance. In actuality, he appreciates peaceful landscapes and is a devoted poet. He speaks kindly of allies and doesn't actively seek to make enemies. Loving his scenic lands and the trust he has gained in Wu's army, Ding Feng participates in war to protect them. He is often considered as someone reliable by Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, but Gan Ning is frightened by Ding Feng's visage and finds his devotion to poetry to be too eccentric at times (as others tend to find Ding Feng's poetry lacking somewhat, albeit with no nerve to tell him directly).

In the Warriors Orochi series, the third installment has him offer praise of Ujiyasu's nature, though his compliments are too odd even for the daimyō. Kotarō is amused by Ding Feng's straightforward commitment to his homeland, without fear of forgetting it in the times of chaos. In the fourth installment, he often provides compliments towards Kagekatsu. Motochika's philosophy of rebellion fascinates Ding Feng and he is pushed to find his own beliefs rather than the ones he learns from others.

~~Gan Ning and Ding Feng; Dynasty Warriors 7

~~Lu Su and Ding Feng; Dynasty Warriors 8

"M-Master Motochika?"
"I know that you and I are kindred spirits. And that is why I want you to show me the true depths of your soul!"
"The true depths of my soul...?"
"Listen to the silence. Forget your words. Let yourself fall! Deep into the terrifying, soundless abyss! I do not want you to sell your soul to meaningless noise!"
"Master Motochika..."
"And in that silence, you will find your words. Words just for you, just for that moment. I want to hear those words, Ding Feng!"
"Yes... I understand. For the sake of a friend, I will give my very all to find those words."

Historical Information[]

Ding Feng, a brave officer from Yangzhou, served as a regular general for Wu during Sun Quan's rule. He was promoted to Captain of the Cavalry before being promoted to General Who Eliminates the Bandits. Ding Feng led 3,000 troops to claim Xu Tong, a strategic location for the enemy. During a grand banquet, Ding Feng ordered his men to remove their armor, cover their helmets, and arm themselves with daggers. The enemy's vanguard was severely demolished, and he was promoted to General Who Eliminates the Bandits and given the title Lord of the Capital Precinct.

Ding Feng, a skilled general, joined Sun Jun at Shòu Xiàn after Wen Qin surrendered. He decapitated many men and was promoted to Lord of An Feng. In 257, the Wu army occupied Zhuge Dan's position, and Ding Feng stopped the Wei army. When Sun Xiu ascended the throne, he consulted Zhang Bu about Ding Feng's character and asked him to assist in his plot to kill his cousin, Sun Chen. Ding Feng assassinated Sun Chen and was appointed as Great Minister of War and District Guard. After Sun Xiu's death, Ding Feng supported Sun Hao and was appointed as Left Adviser and Great Defender-in-Chief. He used trickery to alienate the Wei general, Shí Bāo, and was dismissed. Ding Feng became arrogant and rude to his comrades before his death.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms[]

During the battle of Dongkou, Ding Feng led an assault unit on the Wei forces and proceeded to threaten Cao Pi's position. Zhang Liao, who was guarding Cao Pi at the time, was hit at the waist by one of Ding Feng's arrows. Zhang later died shortly after the battle.
