The rise of the poor

Chapter 2186 Capture

Seeing that his pirates were unable to capture Xu San and the other remaining pirates, he flew into a rage and cursed them repeatedly.

However, the battle remains fierce.

The remaining Japanese pirates under Xu San's command fought desperately, unleashing astonishing fighting power in their struggle for survival.

Under the protection of Liu Dadao and others, Zhu Pingan observed the battlefield. Through lip reading, he read the words "exterminate them all" and "leave no one alive" that Xu San kept repeating while supervising the battle from behind. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

The next second, Zhu Pingan waved his hand and ordered Liu Dadao, "Dadao, raise a big flag in the south and shout to them to surrender. As long as they lay down their weapons, kneel under the white flag, and surrender, they will not be killed!"

"As ordered!"

Liu Dadao accepted the order and quickly raised a large white flag, leading dozens of loud-voiced Zhejiang soldiers to shout to the battlefield.

"Brothers of Moon Island, our lord is Zhu Ping'an, the Governor of Zhejiang. He has ordered that as long as you lay down your weapons, kneel under this white flag, and surrender, you will not be killed! I'll say it again: lay down your weapons, kneel under the white flag, and surrender, you will not be killed!"

"Lay down your weapons, kneel under the white flag, and surrender to be spared!"

"Lay down your weapons, kneel under the white flag, and surrender to be spared!"

Liu Dadao and dozens of loud-voiced Zhejiang soldiers shouted together at the top of their lungs toward the battlefield where the fighting was in full swing.

Their voices, like rolling thunder, drowned out the sounds of battle and reached everyone's ears.

"What? Surrender and you won't be killed?!"

The Japanese pirates on Tsukishima Island, who were fighting like cornered beasts, were tempted when they heard that they could surrender and not be killed. Their eyes darted around nervously.

If there's even a sliver of hope in this world, who would willingly choose to die? In the prime of their lives, who would want to be buried with someone else?

"Does Lord Zhu keep his word?!"

Someone asked a question, and it was like throwing a crumb into a pond, causing ripples all over the place.

All the Japanese pirates from Tsukishima Island looked over, their eyes filled with suspicion but even more so with hope; they desperately wanted a way to survive.

"Damn it?! He's lying to you! You believe them?! Put down your knives and they'll kill you all!"

Xu San got anxious and shouted frantically.

If all the Japanese pirates under his command surrender, they will have a way to survive, but he will have no way to survive.

That's why Xu Sancai was so anxious.

"I am Zhu Ping'an, the Governor of Zhejiang. I keep my word. Anyone who lays down their weapons, kneels under the white flag, and surrenders will not be killed! Seize this opportunity, or you will never have another chance!"

Zhu Pingan said loudly.

"The lord has ordered that you lay down your weapons, kneel under the white flag, and surrender to be spared!"

"The lord has ordered that you lay down your weapons, kneel under the white flag, and surrender to be spared!"

Liu Dadao and the others shouted in response.

"Will Mao Haifeng listen to you?" The Japanese pirates on Tsukishima Island still harbored doubts.

"I am Mao Haifeng. Some of you must have seen me before. Lord Zhu's words are my words. Now lay down your weapons, kneel under the white flag, and surrender so you will not be killed!" Mao Haifeng stepped forward and said loudly.

Zhu Pingan and Mao Haifeng both made their statements, and the Japanese pirates on Moon Island immediately believed them.

"I'm sorry, boss, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child to take care of. I can't fight to the death with you. I surrender, I surrender, I'm willing to surrender. Please don't kill me, please don't kill me."

The first Japanese pirate from Tsukishima to surrender appeared. He threw down his weapon, shouted, and charged toward the white flag.

The Zhejiang soldiers and the Japanese pirates under Mao Haifeng's command all made way for him, allowing him to reach the White Banner smoothly.

"I surrender, I surrender, please don't kill me, please don't kill me!"

The Japanese pirate ran to the white flag, knelt down with a thud, kowtowed repeatedly, and kept repeating "I surrender, I surrender, please don't kill me."

"Kneel down honestly. Those who surrender will not be killed." Liu Dadao led his men to stand guard around the white flag.

Seeing that the first Tsukishima pirate to surrender had not been killed, the remaining Tsukishima pirates were immediately excited.

"I surrender too, I surrender too. I'm only twenty, I'm still young, I haven't married or had children yet. I'm sorry, Boss Xu, I can't keep you company any longer. I surrender, I surrender."

"I surrender too! I want to live for another two years."

"Me too! Me too! I surrender!"

"We've wanted to surrender for a long time, but it's all Xu San's fault for lying to us and saying that the magistrate wanted to exterminate us, forcing us to fight to the death!"

In an instant, the Japanese pirates from Tsukishima Island, throwing down their weapons and shouting their surrender, rushed towards the white flag like a swarm of locusts crossing a river. They knelt down and surrendered under the white flag, shouting and yelling as they ran.

Xu San watched in terror as his last elite Japanese pirates rushed to surrender. He couldn't help but swing his katana and cut down one of his men who was surrendering. He roared menacingly, threatening his pirates not to surrender, "Damn it, none of you are allowed to surrender! Anyone who dares to surrender will suffer this fate!"

However, Xu San's strike severed the last ties between his men and the Japanese pirates who had not yet surrendered.

Originally, these Japanese pirates still had some reservations, some lingering attachments to their blind loyalty, and some old ties to remember. But Xu San's strike broke their last psychological shackles, allowing them to surrender without any further hesitation.

"You are ruthless, don't blame us for being unjust too, we surrender as well!"

"It's gone down! It's gone down!"

The remaining Japanese pirates from Tsukishima Island threw down their weapons and rushed towards the white flag without looking back, surrendering.

The situation on the field suddenly turned around.

The last line of defense that the Tsukishima pirates had been unable to breach for so long, the line of defense that had put up such fierce resistance, crumbled instantly the moment the white flag was raised, and it ceased to exist. In the end, the only Tsukishima pirate who had not yet surrendered was Xu San, a lone commander.

"Mao Haifeng, Zhu Pingan, do you dare to come and fight me one-on-one?!" Xu San, with disheveled hair, brandished his knife at Mao Haifeng and Zhu Pingan, shouting maniacally.

"Hahahaha, do you still have the qualifications to fight me one-on-one?! Men, seize him! Take him alive! Lord Zhu has a great use for him!"

Mao Haifeng sneered disdainfully, waved his hand, and ordered his Japanese pirates to capture Xu San alive.

"You're asking for death! Who dares to come any closer!"

Xu San, like a bristling porcupine, wildly waved his Japanese sword and shouted in a fierce but cowardly manner.

However, in less than three seconds he was overwhelmed by the surging crowd. How could two hands fight against dozens of hands? He was pinned to the ground, his face slapped against the floor, his belt pulled out and his hands tied behind his back. He lay on the ground like a maggot, helplessly furious, cursing Mao Haifeng and Zhu Ping'an for being despicable, shameless, and lacking in martial ethics, for ambushing him, the groom on his wedding day, and for being utterly shameless.

With Xu San captured, all the remaining resistance areas on Moon Island surrendered. Moon Island has now fallen! (End of Chapter)
