After the day Le Duc Fat and the others were beheaded, the recruits trained harder than before, and there were fewer complaints.

The recruits began to notice that the training of the Guan Emperor's army was not much lighter than theirs.

Although in their eyes, this army with strict military discipline is already a strong army, but it still has to be practiced every day.

Gradually, many recruits' officers began to liven up their minds, not only practicing their own daily basis, but also being strict with their subordinates.

Although they used to be lazy, they still understood the principle of strengthening the army.

It is difficult for such a strictly trained army not to be strong.

Some officers who were not willing to serve also felt that their service to Qin Chuan might be a clear way.

Under Qin Chuan's subtle influence and Li Dingguo's persuasion intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Feng Shuangli also changed a lot and began to practice with the recruits.

Qin Chuan gave each of them a captain, in charge of twelve big-headed soldiers, starting from grassroots officers.

Feng Shuangli is twenty-two years old this year, because he has followed Zhang Bingzhong for a few years, he already has the ability to fight in several armies, and he is also good at swords, guns, fists and feet, and the dozen or so big-headed soldiers under his command are all obeying him.

But Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi were still young, only fourteen years old and a half-year-old, and they both encountered what happened to Li Dingguo at the beginning, and their soldiers refused to obey them.

It's just that those big-headed soldiers don't know where they come from, and they see that they are close to the people around General Qin, thinking that they are hard in the background, and because of the strict military regulations, they don't dare to make random mistakes, but the progress of the drill is always slower than others'.

Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi are the people who were favored by Zhang Bingzhong, although they are young, their hearts and abilities are not small at all.

Li Dingguo only told the two of them what happened to him at the beginning, and they found a way to deal with these big-headed soldiers, strengthened their training, practiced longer than others, ate later than others, and brought them out to beat them whenever they complained.

After beating a few big-headed soldiers, those people are obedient.

After a few days of training, hundreds more were eliminated or voluntarily quit the army, and in the end there were just 10,000 recruits left.

Qin Chuan began to be busy reorganizing the army, and the original 5,000 reserves were also officially incorporated into the Guan Emperor Army, plus 10,000 recruits, and now he has a total of 25,000 troops under his command.

The first battalion, the trapped camp and the Wudang battalion were the main forces under Qin Chuan's command, and all of them were expanded to 4,000 troops.

The ten-party battalion was expanded to 3,000 troops, and the Longwu battalion, Fengshan battalion, and tiger and leopard battalion were all expanded to 2,500 troops.

He also added a battalion head, called the Tiger Guard Battalion, with a strength of 2,500 men.

Originally, Qin Chuan wanted Lao Huang to be the battalion officer, but Lao Huang was unwilling, saying that he was a tofu heart and couldn't lead soldiers.

So, Qin Chuan simply let the lynx lead the tiger guard camp.

Today's lynx is no longer the half-sized child he was at the beginning.

This guy just turned seventeen years old not long ago, and he has eaten well in the past two years since he became the owner of Luliangshan, and he has eaten meat every day, almost never stopped, so his body is much stronger than the original, and he has grown a lot taller, which is similar to the physique of an adult.

And the lynx is a famous master in Emperor Guan's army, everyone knows that this kid is very difficult to mess with, and the people who have killed are not much less than Luo Daniu and others, and the recruits have basically heard of this young master's murderous name when they listen to the veterans' bragging.

Therefore, when the young lynx took office and became the battalion officer of the Tiger Guard Battalion, none of the big-headed soldiers and officers below dared to be presumptuous.

In fact, Bobcat also has a name and surname, because he was picked up and raised by the old gang leader from a three-way intersection, so he followed the old gang leader's surname Zhou, called Sancha.

Originally, it was the three-way intersection of the three forks, but before the military advisor Song Zhiting went up the mountain, few people on the mountain were literate, they only knew how to read, and they didn't know how to write the fork words.

So, the lynx became the Wednesday fork.

In addition to promoting Bobcats, Qin Chuan also promoted Liao Sangun to be the battalion officer of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion.

Originally, he wanted to promote Zhao Wu, but Zhao Wu said that he preferred to work all night, and the Haw Par Battalion was a fine cavalry battalion, and Liao Sangun was more suitable to be a battalion officer.

In the end, Qin Chuan followed Zhao Wu's advice and let Liao Sangun command the tiger and leopard battalion, with a force of 1,500.

Qin Chuan allocated all the nights of the fall to Zhao Wu, and selected some outstanding skills from Emperor Guan's army, gathered enough 300 sentry cavalry for him to train, and then deployed each battalion after training.

In addition, Qin Chuan also set up a military aircraft department, with himself as the director, with a staff section and an intelligence section, the staff section did not have a section chief, and several battalion officers and Wang Jizong, Wen Cheng, and Luo Wentian served as staff officers, and the intelligence section was headed by Zhao Wu, who was in charge of reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, and also took into account special tasks such as surprise attacks and assassinations.

After the reorganization of the army was completed, Qin Chuan began to adjust and arrange the defense areas and tasks of each battalion head.

Lou Fu, Fangshan Fort and Gujiao Town were divided into a defense area, which was garrisoned by Bobcat and the newly formed Tiger Guard Battalion.

A defense area in Xingxian, Baode Prefecture and Hequ County, garrisoned by Ren Liang's Longwu battalion.

Yatou Pass, Laoniuwan Fort and Shuiquan Camp Fort are a defense area, which is garrisoned by Luo Ba's Shifang Battalion.

Laoying Fort, Eight Willow Fort, and Da Worm Ridge Fort are a defense area, which is garrisoned by Luo Daniu's first battalion.

Octagonal Fort, Limin Fort and Shenchikou were garrisoned by Liu Youzhu's Wudang battalion.

Qin Chuan led Li Dingliang's trapping camp, Feng Yilong's Fengshan battalion, and Liao Sangun's tiger and leopard battalion, a total of 10,000 troops, stationed at Ninghuasu and Ningwuguan.

Because the terrain around Yunzhong Mountain is not very steep, there are three small roads out of Xinzhou, so Qinchuan sent a construction team to build a pier platform on each of the three small roads, which was divided into a part by Feng Yilong's Fengshan Battalion to garrison.

Before figuring out the distribution of Jiannu's troops and the route of the march, Qin Chuan would not act rashly, after all, Jiannu was not a rogue, nor was it a Ming army, so he must be treated with caution.

It has been a month since Qinchuan occupied Ningwu Pass.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, the concrete hardening speed is faster, and the progress of the construction team is also speeding up, and the eight turrets on all sides of the city have been capped, and the formwork on the top floor can be removed in a few days.

By the time Kennu arrived, the concrete would have reached its maximum strength.

Limin Fort and Laoying Fort, which are connected to the inner Great Wall, are also covered with reinforced concrete, and the city wall is raised to three feet and five feet, and there are two turrets built outside the wall close to the Great Wall to block the enemy who pry the Great Wall.

In addition, Qin Chuan also built two connected piers on the outside of the Great Wall at the mouth of Shenchikou, which were also used to block the enemies of the Great Wall after all.

These reinforced concrete turrets and piers will be a powerful stronghold to block Jiannu.

In the past month or so, Chen Zhan has cast three Tianwei general cannons, five each of the red-clothed general cannon and the big Franc machine, and a total of 24 small Franc machines and tiger squat cannons.

Li Xuejing also made fifteen rifled guns, and one hundred and eighty flintlock guns.

After Li Baba, He Qizheng and other famous generals surrendered, Qin Chuan seized 140 artillery pieces of various types from various military forts, most of which were small cannons, and there were many old cannons that had settled down.

Nowadays, these artillery pieces have all arrived at the front line of the Inner Great Wall, among which there are two Tianwei general cannons, four red-clothed general cannons, six big franc machines, 40 small cannons of various types, 10 rifled guns, and 100 flintlock guns.

Ningwuguan has seven Tianwei general cannons, thirteen red-clothed general cannons, 22 big Buddha machines, more than 140 small cannons of various types, 38 rifled guns, and 700 flintlock guns.

The reason why firearms and troops are gathered in Ningwu Pass is because other military forts are built in the mountainous area, and it is difficult for the army to deploy in front of those military forts, and the only one that can be deployed is Ningwu Pass.

There is no doubt that Jiannu will definitely attack this city.

Moreover, Qin Chuan didn't plan to defend it, he was looking for an opportunity to attack.

After figuring out the distribution of Daishan's troops and the route of the march, he wanted to go out and eat some of the opponent's soldiers and horses to relieve the pressure in the decisive battle.

There are also those Jiannu who are scattered and looted, Qin Chuan once read a record and deeply remembers the content in it: dozens of Jiannu rode to the area of Dun County, robbed a large amount of money and food, captured nearly 1,000 people, and then swaggered away the money, grain and prisoners from the side of Daizhou.

From Ningwuguan along the path over Yunzhong Mountain, it is Dun County.

If those Jiannu still dare to come, Qin Chuan will dare to send a partial division to eat them all left.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for Jiannu to come to the door.
