"Run, escape from here, now!!"
"We can't stay here anymore, we can't stay here anymore, if we stay any longer, we'll all die!!"
"Leave here, we'll leave here now, otherwise, it will be a huge trouble for all of us, we might all die!!"
The word "death" struck fear into many hearts.
Because they could clearly feel death approaching.
As long as the Qin army continued to attack them, they might die at the hands of the Qin army.
Previously, they prided themselves on their strength, but when they actually fought, they realized that they were no match for the Qin army.
Although they had killed some Qin soldiers, it was obvious that they had paid a greater price.
In such a situation, only by escaping could they survive.
Therefore, cries of escape echoed incessantly, and many responded.
"Damn it, these Qin people are too strong. If we don't escape, we'll be in big trouble!!"
"Run, let's run now, now is the best time to escape!!"
"Yes! Let's go now, otherwise, more Qin troops will come, and our troubles will only grow!!"
Once the Qin army was fully engaged, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
In such circumstances, the sooner they left, the better.
With this thought, they all began to flee for their lives.
However, since Lin Tian was leading the army to attack them, it wasn't as simple as them wanting to escape.
As they fled, the Qin army pursued without hesitation.
This pursuit chased them all the way to the tribes of Lingnan.
Many people within the tribes were still looking outside.
When they saw the Qin army rushing in, they were terrified.
"Not good, the Qin army is here!!"
"Stop them, quickly stop them, we must not let them in, otherwise, our troubles will be immense!!"
"Stop them? How can we stop them? We can't stop them at all now. Their combat power is too terrifying. Retreat is the only sensible option!!"
These people remaining in the tribes were not true warriors.
Many of them were old, weak, women, and children.
In terms of combat power, they couldn't even compare to the warriors of Lingnan.
In such a situation, for them to intercept the Qin army would be no different from seeking death.
The warriors of Lingnan initially didn't react, but they soon realized something was wrong.
Especially when they saw some of the old, weak, women, and children charging towards the Qin army, they were even more terrified.
"Are they fools? Why would they deliberately approach the Qin army? Isn't this courting death??"
"Stop them, we must stop them. The combat power of these Qin troops is too terrifying. They are not something these people can withstand!!"
"Pull them along and run! Escaping from here is the right choice!!"
They themselves couldn't withstand the Qin army, so they naturally didn't believe that the old, weak, women, and children could withstand them.
Therefore, their intention was clear: grab the people with them and flee immediately.
As for their money and grain, they couldn't care less.
Although those things were very important, they were not as important as their lives.
So, one by one, they grabbed their families and fled for their lives.
However, before they could even grab their families, they still had a chance to escape.
But once they grabbed their families, their chances of escape were directly cut off.
Their previous escape speed was fast, but with their families, they found that they couldn't run at all.
Their families' speed clearly couldn't keep up with them.
And they couldn't abandon their families.
In such a situation, they were filled with despair.
"What do we do? The Qin army is almost upon us!!"
"It's over, we're in serious trouble this time!!"
"Why don't we surrender? Given the current situation, I'm afraid we can't escape!!"
They could clearly feel that at their current speed, it would be difficult to escape the Qin army's pursuit.
If the Qin army continued to pursue, they would surely meet their end.
In such a scenario, surrender was their only option.
Upon hearing the word "surrender," some among them were indeed moved.
"If we surrender, will the Qin people let us go??"
"They probably will. Although the Qin people are fierce, they probably won't go as far as to exterminate us all!!"
"What if, what if they do want to exterminate us all??"
This statement silenced everyone.
They had no certainty about this matter.
If the Qin army intended to annihilate them, then rather than be captured, they might as well fight to the death.
Therefore, they were still debating whether to continue fleeing or surrender on the spot.
While they were still debating, some people from Lingnan had already collapsed on the ground in front of them.
"Surrender, I am willing to surrender!!"
They couldn't run fast enough and had already been caught up by the Qin army.
In such a situation, surrender was naturally the best choice for them.
So, with a gamble in their hearts, they knelt on the ground, indicating their willingness to surrender.
And when they did this, the Qin soldiers indeed stopped paying attention to them and leaped past them.
Seeing this, many people from Lingnan's eyes lit up. They felt that they had found a way to survive.
So, they imitated them, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "Surrender!"
It had to be said that this method was indeed very effective.
When they knelt on the ground and spoke these words, the Qin soldiers indeed ignored them and went to pursue others.
However, after they knelt down, they dared not move.
They were afraid that the Qin army might misunderstand them, and if they were mistaken for faking surrender and were cut down like vegetables, they would be in big trouble.
At this moment, they naturally had to appear obedient. Only then could they preserve their lives.
With this thought, they all became honest.
And as they knelt down, more and more people followed suit and surrendered!!
