"Zhou Taishan, stop your nonsense! You dare to kill the Commandant today, and you dare to rebel against the Emperor tomorrow. I will not let you live today!"
Since a major battle was inevitable, Lü Tu did not hesitate and immediately used the bow and arrows he had prepared to shoot at Zhou Taishan.
However, Zhou Taishan was clearly on guard, and in his haste, he quickly ducked. The arrow struck his iron helmet and embedded itself deeply, causing only a minor superficial wound.
Lu Tu continued to draw his bow and nock arrows, this time firing five at once!
As Lü Tu made his move, Nie Yun and the others, who were familiar with Lü Tu's motives, also roared: "Kill!"
Fifty cavalrymen charged ahead, followed by more than 2,000 Wuchuan soldiers. Zhou Taishan was also hit by arrows in the back and legs. Fortunately, he was pulled off his horse immediately, otherwise he would have died on the spot.
It was only then that Zhou Taishan realized how terrifying Lü Tu was. He attacked without hesitation, without any preamble, and his attacks were always deadly.
While launching a surprise attack on their own commander, they also sent out cavalry to charge.
Seeing this, Zhou Taishan's soldiers also charged forward. The terrain around them was open, and there were no extra tactics to use. They could only rely on the most primitive force!
The two armies were facing off, and the enemy also had cavalry, and their numbers outnumbered their own.
But after firing five shots in quick succession, Lu Tu immediately charged forward with his golden spear in hand.
With Lü Tu leading the way, everyone on their side was in high spirits. In addition, they were already on the side of justice, and even the soldiers guarding the city behind them became much braver than usual.
Cavalry must charge fast to break through the enemy's formation with their momentum. Disrupting the enemy's communication can effectively demoralize them.
Upon seeing the valiant Lü Tu, the opposing cavalry hesitated for a moment, after all, they had heard of Lü Tu's formidable reputation.
With just this slight hesitation, the difference in strength between the two sides was immediately apparent!
Lu Tu pierced the chest of the opposing cavalryman with his spear. He tried to pull it out, but the man held him tightly. In a fit of rage, Lu Tu roared, "Die!"
Then he actually lifted the man's body up, a scene that terrified the soldiers on the other side. They had never seen such a brave and invincible person before.
At this point, where would they find the slightest courage to confront Lü Tu head-on? In an instant, the cavalrymen at the front turned around at the dock and prepared to flee.
They were just a mob who came together to rebel for their own benefit. Now that they had encountered a killing god like Lü Tu, it was only natural for them to run away.
They wanted to escape, but Lü Tu wouldn't allow it. Wielding a golden spear, he charged left and right through the crowd. Moreover, there were more than 50 elite cavalrymen, including Nie Yun and Sun Kuang, all of whom had been honed in the Wuhuan cavalry.
How could this rabble possibly withstand them? In an instant, their formation was shattered, and a large number of rebel soldiers felt their scalps tingle and dropped their weapons to flee.
The soldiers guarding the city behind Lü Tu were roughly equal in fighting strength to the rebels, but Lü Tu's bravery greatly boosted their confidence. They were filled with an unprecedented sense of self-assurance and pride, and they charged forward with all their might to finish off the rebels.
Yun Ao, who was stationed at Qidaoguai, witnessed the entire battle. However, when Zhou Taishan was brought back in such a miserable state, Yun Ao was no longer as angry as before.
He looked at Zhou Taishan with disdain and sneered, "Captain Zhou, didn't you boast earlier that you would kill Lü Tu?"
Yunwei tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Brother, say less and think about the present."
Yun Ao angrily said, "Say less? Just because of what he said earlier, I handed over all my soldiers to him, and now we're fighting like this, and you want me to say less?"
At this moment, Zhou Taishan's forehead was covered with sweat. He cursed Yun Ao in his heart. What a good-for-nothing! In this situation, instead of thinking about how to fight back, he actually came to humiliate him at the last minute.
Zhou Taishan was filled with hatred, hating himself for not killing Yun Ao, that idiot, before.
But then he thought, even if he killed Yun Ao, he still couldn't kidnap Yun Tian, so for now he could only swallow his anger.
He said in a deep voice, "Young Master Yun, this Lu Tu is truly fierce. Let's retreat!"
Yun Ao said coldly, "Retreat? Where to retreat to? If we retreat any further, we'll be out of the Great Yu Realm."
Zhou Taishan nodded: "That's right! It's about leaving the Great Yu territory. I've been corresponding with the Saili tribe in the Wuhuan area for a while now. We can't stay in Wuchuan any longer, so we might as well go back there and make some plans."
Yunwei chimed in, "Brother, what's done is done. Make a decision now! Or we can release Father and beg for his forgiveness!"
Yun Ao paced back and forth anxiously, watching Lü Tu, who was fighting closer and closer in the distance. His mind was in complete turmoil.
He flatly refused, saying, "No way! That old bastard has looked down on me his whole life. If I let him go this time, he'll kill me right now!"
Yun Wei pleaded, "No, big brother, you are Father's only son, and you still have to carry on the Yun family line!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Taishan knew things were going to end badly. Seeing Yun Ao's hesitant expression, he quickly rebuked him, "Even if we release Lord Yun, he will eventually kill us under pressure from others. We must not release him! We should take him to Wuhuan as a hostage and make other plans."
Yun Wei was extremely flustered at this moment. She had initially thought that Yun Tian was not in good health but was unwilling to relinquish power, so she listened to Yun Ao's instigation and got involved.
But she never thought of killing her father! After all, everything she had came from Yun Tian. If Yun Tian died, she would no longer be a heroine in the Wuchuan border army.
Just as Yun Ao was anxiously pondering, Lü Tu had already made a decision for him: "Yun Ao, if you let the Commandant go, I can plead with him to spare your life. All of this can be attributed to Zhou Taishan!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Ao's eyes lit up, but before he could speak, Zhou Taishan interrupted him: "Lu Tu, you son of a bitch, you still want to use a divisive tactic to harm me?"
Then he turned to Yun Ao excitedly and said, "Young Master Yun, it's all about the victor! There's no time left, let's go! As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback!"
But the next second, Zhou Taishan's eyes widened, and he looked down incredulously at the knife that had pierced his abdomen.
Yun Ao glared at him coldly, then kicked Zhou Taishan in the stomach, knocking him to the ground: "It was you bastard who bewitched me, otherwise I wouldn't have done this. You've made me suffer so much!"
In his final moments, Zhou Taishan glared venomously at Yun Ao, regretting his decision to choose this good-for-nothing as his ally. If he had the chance to do it all over again, he would definitely do it himself...
But the only thing missing in this world is a remedy for regret...
