Hearing the constant wails of his subordinates around him, Bai Ze felt a pang of anxiety. He was originally the champion of the martial arts competition in the Shence Army.

His family background and status enabled him to climb to this position in a very short time; in fact, this was his first time leading troops.

But the current situation was unacceptable to him. His side was either dead or wounded, and the remaining half of his troops had lost even the will to fight.

He has already betrayed the military orders, and even if he escapes, he will still be beheaded.

Right now, Bai Ze's only chance is to kill Lü Tu, then take control of Lü Tu's forces. After that, all he needs to do is silence everyone and take over Kuishan Village. Then everything that happened today can be made up for!

"Lu Tu, how dare you!" Bai Ze was not much older than Lu Tu, and was at the age where he was proud and arrogant. To be looked down upon by a peer was something that Bai Ze, who had lived with praise since childhood and was a recognized genius, could not tolerate!

No sooner had Bai Ze finished speaking than he charged toward Lü Tu, shouting "Kill!" with overwhelming momentum!

Seeing Bai Ze's state, Lü Tu could tell that Bai Ze's mind was in turmoil. This was Bai Ze's strongest attack, and Lü Tu was not a reckless man who would directly confront it head-on.

In front of many soldiers who were idly watching, Lü Tu turned his horse around and charged into the crowd.

"Huh? What is Lü Tu trying to do?" Prince Duan murmured in utter bewilderment.

Zhao Qingyao shook her head: "As a man, didn't your father have you taught riding, archery, and military strategy from a young age? You don't even understand these?"

Prince Duan scratched his head sheepishly, "Second sister, what time is it? Stop making fun of me."

This scene had no impact whatsoever on Nie Yun and the other soldiers, who were already well aware of Lü Tu's capabilities.

Therefore, Lü Tu's delaying plan of turning his horse around must have had its purpose in their eyes.

This scene made Bai Ze so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks. He had finally mustered up the confidence to fight Lu Tu to the death.

But Lu Tu didn't give him a chance to fight back at all, and shamelessly ran away! Moreover, he ran into Bai Ze's group.

This infuriated Bai Ze, who could only chase after him frantically.

His warhorse was also inferior to Lu Tu's Wuhuan warhorse, both in terms of explosive power and endurance, and could only be left to eat dust at a distance.

Lu Tu, on the other hand, moved as if he were in an empty field, directly charging into Bai Ze's army formation. He continuously swung his halberd, taking away a large number of lives.

In an instant, one man and one horse caused chaos in the entire Bai Ze army formation!

Seeing this, Tuoba Yue and the others quickly dealt with the enemies in front of them and rushed over to cover Lü Tu. After all, Lü Tu was everyone's spiritual totem. If Lü Tu were to meet with misfortune, their seemingly invincible team would be leaderless and quickly disintegrate.

"Lu Tu, you rat, don't you dare run away!"

After eliminating another enemy, Lü Tu turned back and smiled contemptuously at Bai Ze: "Useless."

These two seemingly casual words ignited Bai Ze's temper. His eyes turned bloodshot as he roared, "I will grind you to dust, then slaughter your entire village, leaving rivers of blood!"

Faced with Bai Ze's incompetent rage, Lü Tu didn't take it to heart at all. He knew his decision was correct: to press on with one's momentum, for a second attempt would be weaker and a third would be exhausting.

He only needs to charge into Bai Ze's army formation for a while longer, and even if he can't kill Bai Ze, he'll be so angry he'll die.

Sure enough, Lu Tu soon heard the sound of hooves behind him gradually slow down. He turned around and saw that Bai Ze had stopped and was breathing heavily.

At this moment, Lü Tu also turned his horse around and charged towards Bai Ze.

"Do you dare face me now?" Bai Ze asked, overjoyed, as he raised his silver spear again.

Lu Tu, however, was in high spirits and didn't take him seriously at all. He was unwilling to take the risk of Bai Ze's previous state, since his side was always outnumbered.

But things were different now. Lü Tu closed in and thrust his halberd straight at Bai Ze. Bai Ze tried to raise his spear to block, but his spirit had been broken, and he could no longer fight back.

The two, whose strengths were already vastly different, were killed by Lü Tu in just one round!

Lu Tu severed Bai Ze's head in mid-air with a single halberd strike, grabbed the helmet from Bai Ze's head, and held it high. He then shouted at all the soldiers present, "Your commander is dead! Everyone, stop! Anyone who doesn't want to die, throw down your weapons and kneel down!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Tu's voice, which was already loud, pierced through the sounds of all the clashing weapons, causing all the Shence soldiers present to shudder. Then, they looked at the head in Lü Tu's hand with despair in their eyes.

This was Bai Ze, the rising star of their Shence Army's deputy general! This was Bai Ze's first battle, yet he couldn't even last a few rounds against Lü Tu and was so easily killed.

From the perspective of the Shence Army soldiers, who could stand this?

When someone threw their weapon on the ground first, the crowd followed suit and began to surrender, throwing all their weapons on the ground and piling them up into a small mountain.

Then they all knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to Lü Tu, saying, "General Lü, spare our lives! We came to rescue the princess, but we were misled by that Bai Ze!"

Lu Tu naturally wouldn't continue killing prisoners at this point; his original intention was to incorporate these guys into his own ranks. However, he couldn't openly overstep his bounds, so he turned to Zhao Qingyao and asked, "Princess?"

Zhao Qingyao, who had just recovered from the shock of the bell, nodded and said, "Please let General Lü decide what to do!"

Lu Tu nodded and said, "Alright, since you have surrendered, you will be demoted to military slaves and come back to the village with me. After you make military contributions, you will be freed from slavery!"

Prince Duan watched from behind, clicking his tongue in amazement. He had never seen Lü Tu make a move before, only heard about his battle achievements. Now, seeing Lü Tu on the battlefield like a god of war descending, he found his back soaked with sweat before he knew it.

After that came the task of cleaning up the battlefield. Lu Tu handed everyone over to Nie Yun to handle, instructing Nie Yun to lead the others to clean up the battlefield, collect all the armor and weapons, tie up all the prisoners, and then lead them behind the horses towards Kuishan Village.

The battle here was resolved very quickly. Even Zhao Qingyao and Prince Duan did not expect that Lü Tu would deal with such a tragic situation so quickly. Lü Tu's gains this time were extremely large. A rough count showed that he had captured more than 3,000 people!
