Changshe was not far from Sun City.
If Sun Jian used cavalry to attack, he would be able to reach Changshe in less than half a day.
" Continue to monitor the movements of Sun Jian's troops," Zhou Cheng said to Xu Fang." Especially their cavalry. If there's any movement, report back immediately."”
"Here!" Xu Fang turned around and mounted his horse, leaving quickly.
Then, Zhou Cheng said to the soldiers beside him,"Call the captains of the various battalions into the commander's tent.”
"Here!"
The soldiers immediately dispersed and headed towards the various battalions.
Soon, the commander's tent was filled with people.
Zhang Cheng now had more than a hundred thousand troops. Other than those that were given names such as the Tiger Troop Battalion, Daybreak Cavalry Battalion, Boulder Battalion, Light Cavalry Battalion, Divine Martial Battalion, and so on, there was also a large number of cannon fodder troops.
These cannon fodder troops were the old, weak, women, and children that were brought here to act as human shields, depleting the enemy's bows and arrows and slowing down the enemy cavalry's charge.
Although it was not a benevolent act, everything was about survival now. Even if it was selfish and unscrupulous, he would not hesitate.
Moreover, it was not the first day that the Yellow Turban Army had driven civilians to become cannon fodder.
At this moment, Zhou Cheng was sitting on the commander's seat, and the lieutenants were standing on both sides of the commander's tent.
"Sun Jian from Wu County has led 8000 troops and has arrived at Yangcheng," said Zhou Cheng.”
"Ah! It's actually him!"
"General, this Tiger of River East is not easy to deal with!”
"Back in Yingchuan, Sun Jian led 1000 troops and dared to attack General Gao Sheng, who was under General Di Gong, in the middle of the night.”
"I also met him in Runan. Every time he attacked the city, he would take the lead. He braved arrows, logs, rolling stones, and fire to climb the city tower. He was really a bloodthirsty evil tiger.”
"I heard that in the Battle of Wan City, Sun Jian was the first to enter the city and help Huangpusong break through.”
The names of Sun Jian, Liu Bei, and the others might not be of much concern to the high-ranking officials, nobles, and aristocrats, but to the Yellow Turban Army, they were definitely like the gods of plague.
The lieutenants in Zhou Cheng's tent were all frightened when they heard that Sun Jian had come. They shook their heads disapprovingly and asked,"Between Sun Jian and Zhu Rong, who is more powerful?”
The lieutenants answered in unison,""Zhu Xi."
"Where is Zhu Rong now?" Zhou Cheng asked.”
Without waiting for the lieutenants to reply, Zhou Cheng stood up and pointed at the Zhou flag outside the tent."Even Zhu Rong died in my hands, why would he be afraid of Sun Jian?”
The lieutenants shook their heads.
"Humph." Zhou Cheng snorted and said in a disdainful tone,"Although Sun Jian was good at fighting, he was too reckless. He took the lead in every battle, braving arrows, rolling stones, and logs to attack the top of the city wall. I once heard that he once chased after He Yi alone, but he was injured and fell off his horse, almost losing his life.”
The lieutenants didn't know if it was true, but from Zhou Cheng's words, it shouldn't be fake.
Moreover, He Yi was a general under Huang Shao, the commander of Yingchuan. All the old Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan had heard of He Yi's name.
"Moreover, the government troops like to attack at night and rob camps. With Sun Jian's character, he will definitely lead his troops to launch a sneak attack."”
Everyone nodded again.
"Zhang Shao," said Zhou Cheng.
A bearded commandant who was about eight feet tall stood out.
Zhang Shao was a captain of the Tiger Troop Battalion. He had also followed Zhou Cheng from Yingchuan to Wan City, and was very brave in battle.
"Immediately lead some men to lie in ambush in the forest to the south. Without my orders, you are not allowed to act on your own."”
He actually sent the Tiger Battalion out?
The lieutenants in the tent were shocked. The Tiger Battalion and Daybreak Cavalry were the most elite troops under Zhou Cheng.
All spears and armors will be given priority to the Tiger Troop Battalion.
There was not much food in the army now, but the Tiger Battalion and Daybreak Cavalry could eat three meals a day!
Of course, in the past, the Yellow Turban Army's canal commander liked to raise some elites, but these elites were like precious treasures and would not be easily sent out.
However, Zhou Cheng's style was clearly different from the other canal marshals.
Of course, no one dared to underestimate Zhou Cheng. After all, Zhou Cheng had killed Zhu Xiong. This was not something an ordinary person could do.
"Liu Yong!" Zhou Cheng continued to shout.
A dark-skinned, nearly nine-foot-tall muscular man walked out.
Liu Yong was a lieutenant of the Boulder Battalion. Although his martial arts skills were average, he was very strong. He was usually simple-minded, but he was very obedient to Zhou Cheng and never questioned his orders.
"Tonight, you bring some men to guard the camp. Don't slack off for even a moment."”
"Here." Liu Yong nodded.
"Xu Kang, Jiang Feng, Deng Hui, Chen Rui, Xu Yue.”
Following Zhou Cheng's roll call, five lieutenants stepped forward.
"You guys take the troops from your headquarters and guard the stronghold with Liu Yong. You must restrain Sun Jian."”
"Here." Xu Kang, Jiang Feng, Deng Hui, and the others nodded.
"Xu Hao, Zhou Tian, Qian Hu, Zhao Hao, Wu Le.”
Another five lieutenants stepped forward.
"You guys take the troops from the main force and lie in ambush ten miles west of the camp," said Zhou Cheng.”
"Here!"
Xu Hao, Zhou Tian, Qian Hu, Zhao Hao, and Wu Le nodded in unison.
"Gao Yuan, Huang Sheng, Zhang Zhong, Guo Bo, Xu Yan.”
Another five lieutenants stepped forward.
"I order you to bring your men and ambush ten miles south of the camp.”
"Here!"
Gao Yuan, Huang Sheng, Zhang Zhong, Guo Bo, and Xu Yan replied in unison.
"Everyone else, set up an ambush with me around the camp after dark and wait for Sun Jian to come and die!" Zhou Cheng said coldly.”
