"Brother, before things get out of control, let's go and beg Dad for mercy. He loves us so much, he'll definitely forgive us!"
Yun Ao turned to look at Lü Tu, who was already bloodthirsty, and quickly shrank back, saying, "Okay!" He ran towards the tent where Yun Tian was imprisoned.
Meanwhile, Lu Tu had also witnessed what had just happened and naturally guessed the outcome. In his heart, he cursed Yun Ao as a complete idiot.
Since you're prepared to surrender, why not let your soldiers surrender first? Instead, you have to make him do it himself.
As Lu Tu pierced through one man's skull, he shouted, "Yun Ao has already admitted defeat, so you should all surrender now!"
But no matter how loud his voice was, it had no effect amidst the deafening shouts and wails, and was quickly drowned out.
Helpless, Lü Tu could only charge towards the direction of the military flag. Nie Yun and the others took advantage of the chaos to see Lü Tu's actions and immediately understood to provide support and protection from the side.
Regardless of the army, the flag bearer is always the fiercest among them, since when two armies are facing each other, it is difficult for soldiers to immediately grasp the dynamics of the battle.
The only way to judge is by one's own flag. If the flag falls, it means that one's side has lost and there is no point in continuing the fight.
Even though the rebels' overall combat strength was weak, the dozen or so men carrying the flag were still very fierce and looked very formidable.
The men, each nearly 2 meters tall and burly, reminded Lü Tu of the shield-wielding Wuhuan soldier he had encountered that day at Aiying Mountain.
"Dare to seize my commander's flag?" A dozen men carrying axes charged towards Lü Tu, who was secretly astonished.
These guys are really formidable fighters. A dozen giant axes simultaneously blocked all of Lu Tu's advance, forcing him to a stop. Fortunately, Xiao Hei cleverly changed direction in time, otherwise it would have been the one to die.
Lu Tu also lost his temper: "Go to hell, you dare to mess with me?" Using the force of gravity as he veered to the right, Lu Tu turned sideways and grabbed the bow and arrow beside him.
They weren't aiming at the dozen or so burly men, but at the flagpole!
The bowstring vibrated, and Lü Tu drew his ancestral ox-horn bow to its fullest extent, sending the arrow hurtling towards the flagpole.
The flag guards were also surprised that Lü Tu would aim directly at the flagpole; this was a fighting style they had never seen before!
It was impossible to stop it now, and everyone looked up at the top of the flagpole.
The cloud-shaped flag, fluttering in the wind, was snapped in two by the powerful blow and fell to the ground.
The strong men tried to prop up the broken pole, but it was no longer high enough for all the soldiers to see.
At that moment, Lü Tu roared in anger: "The commander's flag has fallen!"
These concise words caused the soldiers on both sides to look towards their own rear.
Especially the city guards who were with Lü Tu, looked back for a while before suddenly realizing that they did not have a commander's flag, so they must be talking about Yun Ao's side.
Sure enough, when the rebel soldiers turned around, they saw the commander's flag fall, and their hearts sank to the ground.
The words "the tide has turned" came to mind, but some of them were still unwilling to accept it.
After all, this is a rebellion; there is no such thing as surrender. If they surrender, their entire family will be executed!
So the moment the flag fell, it only fueled the fighting spirit of some of them.
"Brothers, surrendering means certain death for us. We might as well fight our way out. Even if we escape to the Wuhuan people, it's better than losing our heads!"
"That's right, Yun Ao can surrender, but we can't. No one will forgive our worthless lives!"
This scene was beyond Lu Tu's expectations; he hadn't anticipated that it would instead provoke their ruthlessness.
Lu Tu's mind raced. He used his bow and arrow to kill several of the most vocal rebels. Then, amidst the angry glares of the rebels, he shouted, "I order you to lay down your weapons! Those who surrender will be pardoned! Anyone who dares to continue inciting rebellion will have their entire family exterminated!"
Nie Yun added from the side, "This is Commandant Lü Tu Lü. He always keeps his word. Put down your weapons immediately!"
The rebel soldiers looked at each other, their hearts filled with even more turmoil than Yun Ao had felt earlier.
After all, Yun Ao had a background to rely on, but they didn't. The only person they could trust right now was Lu Tu, who had killed many of their comrades.
They both hated and feared Lü Tu, but also had a strange sense of admiration for him. After all, they had all served in the army in Wuchuan and had heard about Lü Tu's reputation to some extent.
Clang! When one of the rebels threw down his weapon, the others could only resign themselves to their fate and throw their weapons into a pile, entrusting their lives to Lü Tu.
Even though many of them were unwilling to give up the resistance, they still couldn't withstand the overwhelming force.
Everyone else has thrown their weapons, why aren't you? Lu Tu's swords and arrows are no joke!
Lu Tu shouted loudly, "Everyone, kneel down and surrender! I promise I won't kill you!"
The rebel soldiers looked up at Lü Tu, who was riding a black horse with his robes fluttering in the wind, and knelt down tremblingly.
In an instant, the thousands of rebel soldiers present knelt down, allowing Nie Yun to lead his troops to take away their weapons.
Sun Kuang whispered, "Brother, they outnumber us. Maybe we should kill them, otherwise things might go wrong."
Lu Tu shook his head solemnly: "Since ancient times, killing surrendered soldiers has been considered an ominous sign. Besides, I have already spoken my mind. Once the weapons are taken away, there will be no threat."
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Tu summoned Tuoba Yue: "Can you lead 1,000 men to guard them well?"
