In the battle of Changshe, although Zhou Cheng defeated Sun Jian, the more than 100,000 people under his command actually suffered more than 30,000 casualties. In order to break the formation, he did not hesitate to use the most elite Dawn Cavalry as cannon fodder to rush into the formation.

Of the war horses that were finally captured, more than 700 were lost in this battle.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was short of horses, and the north was better off. If it was the south, then these more than 700 horses would definitely cause pain to the southern princes.

However, the spoils of this battle made everything worth it.

Almost all of the 5,000 infantrymen brought by Sun Jian were retained, and Zhou Cheng did not take any prisoners.

He himself transformed into a beast and took this ragtag group with him, making them even more bloodthirsty.

At the end of this battle, they obtained enough chariots, swords, shields, guns, spears, bows and arrows, and trebuchets to arm 5,000 people.

The school lieutenants also followed suit and replaced their shotguns with cannons and put on jackets and swords at their waists. They finally looked like regular soldiers, no longer wearing two levels of armor and having steel knives on their hands.

Of course, the battle of Changshe was just a small victory for Zhou Cheng and could not reverse the fate of the Yellow Turbans' destruction.

The Yellow Turban Army burned, killed, and plundered, and wherever it passed, it was like locusts crossing the border, making the nobles of the world disgusted and the common people afraid.

There was no stable territory, no supplies of food and supplies, and the court would definitely send more troops to conquer Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng must solve two problems if he wants to survive.

The first is food and grass, and the second is the training of soldiers.

The counties of Yingchuan County were devastated by the Yellow Turban Army. The people were displaced and fled in all directions. The fields were barren and the county townhouses were without food.

Therefore, the food problem cannot be solved in Yingchuan County.

The problem of soldier training.

Zhou Cheng was not an expert, but he knew that the entire army must understand orders, know how to set up simple formations, and understand what orders and prohibitions are.

In short, the first step is to train them to queue up so that they will not make a mess.

The focus of Zhou Cheng's experiment was Huben Camp.

In the Battle of Changshe, Huben Camp did not participate in the battle.

The Huben Battalion is an elite force, and every one of them is an old Yellow Turban who has experienced fierce battles. They dare to fight and know how to fight.

At this time, the Huben camp was all gathered together and lined up.

There are now 3,000 people in Huben Camp, and the best equipment captured will be given to them first.

Now there are 3,000 people, everyone is wearing two levels of armor, and they have the best food and can eat well, so they are radiant and their military appearance is strong.

Zhou Cheng divided the 3,000 people into 30 hundred-man teams, arrayed 10 by 10.

Therefore, 30 square formations are now placed in front of the military formation.

"The heels should be close together, the toes should be pointed outward, the legs should be straight, the lower abdomen should be tightened, the chest should be straight, the upper body should be straight, the shoulders should be flat, and the left arm should hang naturally and close to the thigh.……"

Now that the weather is getting colder, these three thousand people do not do any training, they are just allowed to stand.

And there are many requirements for standing posture.

Standing at attention training is the most basic. Even in later generations, it is often criticized by a group of ignorant people, who think that this kind of training is meaningless.

However, Zhou Cheng understood that this was the best way to train soldiers' discipline and obedience.

If there is no military discipline and obedience, and if orders and prohibitions cannot be carried out, then the formation of troops will be empty talk.

Of course, princes in various places have methods for training troops. The most famous ones should be Qu Yi's Xian Deng camp and Gao Shun's trap camp.

Of course, Zhou Cheng not only asked the Huben Camp to train, but also invited all the ministries to watch.

This made the three thousand people in the Huben camp feel very uncomfortable. They were being looked at by tens of thousands of people, especially being pointed at by a group of old and weak people. Some people were even snickering and wanted to rush up and knock them over.

Zhou Cheng built a platform in front of three thousand people. He sat on the high platform and looked down seriously.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon, half an hour passed.

In the Huben Camp, there were already people who couldn't help but move their bodies, and some were bitten by insects and wanted to catch them.

Zhou Cheng shouted:"Anyone who tampers with the queue can be whipped 50 times."

Around the queue, Zhou Cheng set up an inspection team, which usually inspects the training of each battalion and department.

If there are those who are lazy, they can be punished directly. After the war begins, they serve as supervising the battle team. If they find that they are afraid of the enemy, or want to fight and flee, they can be killed directly.

The supervisory team has two thousand people, and at this time, they are all composed of disabled Yellow Turbans.

Although they are missing arms and legs, they are very conscientious in their work as an inspection team.

Soon, hundreds of people were arrested, stripped of their clothes in public, and beaten so hard that their skin was torn and their flesh was bloody.

This scene made the onlookers' troops and horses so frightened that they could not speak.

An hour later, the Huben camp was still standing. Most people were sweating profusely, and their clothes and armor were soaked with sweat.

It's just that Zhou Cheng didn't allow them to relax and let them continue to stand.

"How long are you going to stand for?"

"You won't have to stand there all day, right?"

"Qu Shuai must be too cruel, torturing them for no reason"

"Hush, keep your voice down, the general must have his intention in doing this."

Just when someone was discussing, a hand suddenly reached out from behind them and held down the man's shoulder. The young man whose shoulder was held down quickly turned around. It was the supervisory team.

I don't know when, the supervisory team actually came to them

"Anyone who talks about his handsomeness will be killed!"

After saying that, the supervisory team directly dragged the person in front of everyone and chopped off his head with a knife.

At this time, outside Changshe City, there was a collective silence. No one dared to talk nonsense.
