"Giddyup!"
"Giddyup!"
Sun Jian and the others ran for the entire night. Finally, they could see the city walls of Yangcheng.
At this moment, Sun Jian and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Survive a calamity? Should we celebrate?
Sun Jian wished he could tear Zhou Cheng apart with his bare hands.
Last night was the first time he had suffered a defeat since he started the army, and it was such a miserable defeat.
Out of the two thousand elite cavalry that had attacked at night, only less than two hundred remained.
Moreover, Zu Mao was in charge of covering the rear, so he was probably in danger.
Wu Jing and Zhu Zhi, who were in charge of guarding the city, turned pale with fright when they saw Sun Jian and the others in such a sorry state.
This was because they had never seen Sun Jian and the others in such a sorry state.
Although Sun Jian had been seriously injured and fell off his horse when he was chasing He Yi, that was when he was alone.
If Sun Jian brought Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and the others and had never lost.
Moreover, Wu Jing realized that Zu Mao was missing, so he asked Cheng Pu,""Why don't I see Darong?"
Hearing Wu Jing mention Zu Mao's name, Huang Gai sighed. Han Dang immediately shook his head at Wu Jing.
"Could it be that Darong…"
Zhu Zhi widened his eyes.
"I swear to kill this thief!"
Sun Jian pointed at the sky and roared angrily.，
At this time, Cheng Pu said to Wu Jing,"Go and find a doctor first to treat the lord's injuries."”
Wu Jing nodded and immediately sent someone to find a military doctor to treat Sun Jian and the others.
……
The doctor had just bandaged Sun Jian's wound when he said,""Leave the city and attack the moth bandits!"
Cheng Pu's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Sun Jian liked to act on impulse, so he quickly advised,""My lord, you are injured. It is better for you to rest for a few days. It is not too late to fight against the moth bandits. Moreover, the moth bandits are powerful and cannot be underestimated.”
Bang! Sun Jian slammed the table heavily, and his brows were filled with uncontrollable anger. He said,"It's just a small injury. It's not a big deal. I was careless last night and was ambushed by the moth bandits. Today, we'll attack the bandits with all our forces.”
Although he had lost his most elite cavalry, Sun Jian still had 5000 elite infantry.
Among the 5,000 infantrymen, there were 1000 sword-shieldbearers and 1000 archers. At the same time, there were also catapults for siege.
The trebuchets used rocks, kerosene, archers, and sword-shieldbearers to deal with Zhou Cheng's strange long pole.
Moreover, Sun Jian's 5,000 infantrymen were all elites with rich combat experience. Coupled with siege weapons such as charging and crashing, they could easily break through Zhou Cheng's camp.
In short, Sun Jian's attack strategy was still very clear, and the combination of troops and weapons was also very reasonable.
However, Sun Jian did not realize that Zhou Cheng was no ordinary Yellow Turban soldier.
Zhou Cheng's thoughts from the future gave him a deeper understanding of war, the combination of troops, and the use of strategies.
……
At this moment, Xu Fang hurriedly ran into the commander's tent and reported,""General, Sun Jian has already left the city and passed through Jia County with all his troops. With their speed, they will reach Changshe in the evening.”
"Hahaha, River East sick cat, looking for death again.”
Zhou Cheng pretended to be disdainful, and as he laughed, the others in the commander's tent laughed as well.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng said," Order the troops to eat and drink to their fill. Rest well and wait for the government troops to come and die."”
"Here!"
The lieutenants in the commander's tent replied in unison.
After defeating Sun Jian last night, Zhou Cheng had obtained more than 1200 warhorses. Unfortunately, some of the warhorses had been shot to death or stabbed to death by spears. He could only let the cooks make meat soup to reward the three armies.
However, the two armor on the corpses, as well as their spears and steel knives, were all good things. Even if the armor was damaged, they could still be used.
Armor, weapons, warhorses, the combination of the three was enough to expand the scale of the Daybreak Cavalry.
If Zhou Cheng was given enough time to train, he could form a cavalry of nearly two thousand cavalry.
2,000 cavalry was not a small number. A cavalry formation could effectively charge into the battlefield and bring a lot of pressure to the enemy.
Of course, the cavalry was used for long-distance raids. Although they could be used on the battlefield, the losses were not small. Therefore, Zhou Cheng wanted to use this mobile unit as a sharp weapon.
He could even leave Zhongmou, take a small path through Xingyang, and finally attack Luoyang.
Of course, there were no conditions to implement this crazy idea yet.
After all, a long distance raid was a test of the cavalry's riding skills and physical fitness.
With the current strength of the Daybreak Knights, Zhou Cheng did not expect them to surprise him.
On the other hand, the spear formation had gained the approval of the various lieutenants after being tested in actual combat.
Although the spear formation consumed manpower, it was different from other formations.
Firstly, it was simple, and secondly, it was easy to form.
Even without the young and strong, the old and weak could still raise a five-meter-long pole and form a barricade.
At the same time, if the ordinary soldiers could really obey orders, they could raise their guns and advance at the same time, which could also pose a threat to the enemy infantry. In front of the spear formation, there were also the old and weak who held shields in the spear formation. They could effectively defend against arrows and protect the people behind them.
If the enemy wanted to break the spear formation, they would need to mobilize swordsmen or heavily armored cavalry. Otherwise, it would be difficult to break the formation.
Once the enemy mobilized heavy armored cavalry or a large number of sword-shield men, their formation would be exposed. At that time, they would use cavalry to bypass the formation and catch the soldiers off guard.
Zhou Cheng closed his eyes and pondered, deducing the arrangement of troops in his mind.
