Jiujiang Prefecture was a large prefecture in Yangzhou and even the entire country.
If a mere 20,000 barbarians wanted to attack Jiujiang County, they would be in a daze.
However, the current situation was that the 20,000 barbarians had cheered, and the hundreds of thousands of Jiujiang's citizens had responded, and Jiujiang County had fallen.
What was popular sentiment?
This was the will of the people!
What was the world?
The hearts of the people were the world!
Unfortunately, no one understood.
Including the famous general Lu Zhi who was leading the army to defeat the enemy.
Lu Zhi didn't use any tricks, he just divided the five thousand infantry into ten teams and charged at the hundred thousand mixed troops surrounding Shouchun.
However, Lu Zhi had arranged for another 100 cavalry to be stationed in the forest outside Shouchun City as a decoy.
This was the advantage of an elite army. They did not ask why or whether they could win. They only knew to follow orders.
The commander-in-chief had ordered him to kill the other party, so he had to kill the other party. Otherwise, the other party would let him down.
The commander-in-chief had ordered that he must pierce through the other party, so he must pierce through the other party. Otherwise, the other party would pierce through him.
After Lu Zhi distributed the combat instructions to the various departments, he began to bury the pot and cook.
After a full meal, everyone rested except for the soldiers.
Time passed quietly. The bright moon rose to the sky, making people feel that it was daytime, but it was actually midnight.
During May and June, there was no shortage of mountain mosquitoes at midnight in Jiujiang area, and they were blood-sucking mountain mosquitoes that did not care about their lives.
Even if the mountain mosquitoes were to swarm into the tent in groups, the five thousand people in the tent would not make a sound. Even if they were covered in bags and were in unbearable pain and itch.
"Not bad, as expected of a good son of the Han family. The five northern schools haven't declined.”As a famous general, Lu Zhi knew the environment and climate here. Although it was not exaggerated to the point of borrowing the east wind, it was at least to the point of using the east wind.
Lu Zhi's arrangement today was not reckless, but he had many considerations and calculations. After gathering all the information, Lu Zhi obtained a few important pieces of information.
Although the rebellion of the barbarians in Jiujiang Prefecture was huge and swept through the entire Jiujiang Prefecture, it was still a small matter. However, the number of people who died was limited. Even those who died were not killed in battle, but in chaos.
Secondly, there was a mix of barbarians and Han people. There was no way to unify the pace. Once there was a sudden change, it would easily cause chaos and even chaos.
Furthermore, this barbarian army relied solely on their bravery and strength, and had no formation to speak of. Once they lost, they would easily collapse.
Moreover, the barbarian army did not have the will to fight. In addition, they had wandered around Jiujiang County and were already very lazy and numb to Taiyi. The battle was certain.
In addition, in Shouchun, Hefei was surrounded, and there should be many reinforcements waiting for an opportunity. The soldiers of Jiujiang County had only escaped, but they had not been completely wiped out or driven out of Jiujiang County.
In the end, Lu Zhi led 5,000 infantry and cavalry, which were very elite.
Based on these points, if he didn't win, Lu Zhi would have to accept his fate.
When it was time for Chou Yin, who was the most prone to getting sleepy and being distracted, Lu Zhi waved his hand. The ten troops quietly approached the Man-Han Mixed Army's camp under the leadership of their respective lieutenants.
"Kill them!" Lu Zhi pointed his sword at the back.
The ten troops were like arrows that had left the bow as they charged towards the Man-Han mixed army. In an instant, sabers and swords flashed, and the sounds of killing shook the sky.
The ten troops raised their sabers and spears, cutting and stabbing anyone they saw. Blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Most of them were cut down to the ground before they could even put on their clothes, and some were trampled to death before they could even get up.
In Lu Zhi's eyes, anyone who participated in the rebellion was considered a rioter, and their deaths were not worth regretting.
In front of ten troops, anyone who blocks me will be killed, and anyone who blocks me will die.
The ten troops were so imposing that they passed through the outer layers in an instant and directly attacked the barbarian headquarters.
This caused the hundreds of thousands of people who had not experienced any real war for months to fall into chaos. They could not organize any decent defense or resistance at all. They only knew how to run around while shouting crazily.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A barbarian soldier wearing leopard skin rushed to the tent of the tribal leader and reported in a hurry.
"What are you panicking about?" The tribe leader, who was also the chief, was called Ah Nan. He was a burly man in his thirties. He had a short beard on his face and looked dignified without being angry. Even if he heard the chaotic sounds of fighting, he still calmly put on his animal skin.
"What army? How many? Where did he come from? Who will lead the troops?" Ah Nan's series of questions was like a barrage of bullets.
"Lord Tribal Chief, no, I don't know. It's already chaotic outside.”The barbarian soldier knelt on one knee and replied nervously.
"Good-for-nothing, a bunch of mobs." Ah Nan pulled out the knife at his waist and waved it forward."Gather the men and kill the enemy with me!"
"Hualala!" With the sound of cloth being torn, the tent where Chief Conan was in was overturned, and a group of Han cavalrymen could be seen charging towards Ah Nan's back.
Before Ah Nan could rebuke him or even ride his horse, he heard the sound of hooves behind him. He quickly put away his saber and rolled to the right.
Ah Nan rolled a few rounds, but before he could see the situation clearly, he felt a headache and passed out gloriously.
Lu Zhi, who was riding a horse and standing on a higher ground, finally revealed a relieved smile.
The situation on the battlefield was going according to his expectations.
Over a hundred thousand Han people had already fled in all directions. The nearly ten thousand barbarian soldiers had not even had the time to arrange their formation before they were scattered by the fleeing Han people.
Lu Zhi's subordinates charged forward like herding sheep.
The barbarians were not bad at fighting, nor were they not brave. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not see the soldiers. They didn't even get on their horses, and they had already lost the battle.
No matter how brave the barbarian warriors were without horses, they couldn't fight against Lu Zhi's ten elite infantry and cavalry.
What puzzled Lu Zhi was that the soldiers guarding Shouchun City turned a blind eye to the earth-shattering battle outside the city.
Not to mention opening the city gates and attacking from both sides, there was not even a single person on the city wall.
Such fear of battle!
This made Lu Zhi's heart turn cold.
The shouting and killing gradually stopped. The huge battlefield was only filled with flickering embers and painful moans.
At this point, the siege of Shouchun has been lifted.
Only nearly 100 of Lu Zhi's men were injured in this battle, and none of them died. More than 1,000 barbarian soldiers were killed, and all of them fled into the mountains.
Nearly ten thousand Han people were killed or injured, and most of them were trampled to death in the stampede.
"Milord, this subordinate has captured a suspected enemy leader.”A fully-armored lieutenant brought the unconscious chieftain Ah Nan to Lu Zhima and respectfully cupped his hands.
"Ah!" Lu Zhi glanced at Ah Nan, he already had an idea in his heart.
Ah Nan's leather robe was different from the rest, especially his golden belt, which showed his identity.
"Splash him with cold water and bring him to the tent for questioning.”Lu Zhi nodded, reined in his horse, and returned to his tent.
"Here!" The lieutenant respectfully led his men to pour cold water on them. The others were cleaning up the battlefield, moving the wounded, and guarding the surroundings.
"Let me go, let me go! I want to talk to your Han general!”Ah Nan, who had been woken up by the cold water, shouted loudly.
"Bring him in!" Lu Zhi dug his ears and muttered,""This guy's voice is comparable to Bogui's.”
"Kneel down!" The two soldiers who had pushed Ah Nan in shouted. Seeing that Ah Nan was swaying left and right but not kneeling, they raised their feet and kicked at Conan's back foot.
"Plop!" With a sound, like a jade being pushed down, Ah Nan kneeled on the ground in a daze.
However, this family stubbornly wanted to stand up, but they were firmly pressed to the ground by two soldiers.
"I refuse to accept this, I refuse to accept this!" Ah Nan roared hysterically and panted heavily. Ah Nan was also very helpless. His hands were tied upside down, his shoulders were pressed down, and his knees were kneeling. He could only protest with his bloody mouth.
"Let go!" Lu Zhi waved his hand and had the two soldiers release Conan.
The soldiers let go of Conan and lined up on both sides of the commander's tent to prevent An Nan from hurting anyone.
Ah Nan stood up with a whoosh, staggering because of the pain all over his body.
However, this fellow swayed a little before standing up straight. He glared at Lu Zhi and said,"I refuse to accept this!"
"Oh! Unconvinced? Tell me!" Lu Zhi admired his stubbornness and could not help but be in the mood to listen to him ramble on.
"You Han people don't follow the rules and don't dare to do things openly. You only know how to use schemes and sneak attacks!”Conan said firmly,"I'm not a hero. I'm not convinced!"”
"Humph! You barbarians are restless and law-abiding. You actually dare to defy your superiors and make trouble. You even dare to talk big!”Lu Zhi sneered.
"The art of war is deceitful! Do you think this is a game? Even if you want to be a teacher, you can't be an outsider like Shan Yue.”Lu Zhi slapped the table and said,"Speak, who are you?" Why did you rebel?"
Alright, Ah Nan didn't understand Lu Zhi's words, but Conan understood the rebellion.
"General, there is no rebellion in my tribe!”Ah Nan cried out.
"Tell me!" Lu Zhi's heart sank when he heard that. He knew that there was something else going on.
