After Sun Chuanting replenished Mao Wenlong's troops, his own men and horses were much less, but fortunately, with Cao Wenzhao's troops, the foundation was still there, and he quickly recruited more than 30,000 people from the Horqin tribe, the Chechen Khan tribe, and the Zasaktu Khan tribe. These are all big tribes on the steppe, except for Tushetu Khan who became a big man of Lin Dan Khan, of course, he was too ambitious and finally destroyed, and the others were resolved by peaceful negotiations, especially Sun Chuanting is still the uncle of the Horqin tribe, Borzigit * Hailanzhu is still following by his side, and most of the troops themselves are Mongols, so the conscription is very smooth.

After recruiting 30,000 sturdy soldiers, Sun Chuanting immediately began strict training, Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong are all good at training, especially under the guidance of Sun Chuanting, the combination of theory and practice of these people is even more rapid in ability. Zaisang Buhe's son Wu Keshan and Mo Rakma's son Shuo Lei all participated in this large-scale military training. Guns in modern times are very simple to use, and the training of these recruits is mainly the execution of discipline. Because they are all herdsmen, and they are all selected from a hundred miles, there is nothing to find fault with in terms of physical fitness, and the only drawback is the cooperation with each other, which makes the veterans struggle with their brains, and even use punches and kicks.

The solution is still proposed by a young soldier named Zhang Bingzhong, he just turned 20 years old this year, and he is already a young general who leads thousands of people, this guy is also a strange soldier when he is a soldier, he secretly participated in the Daming Technical School, he was impatient with loneliness, and then he went to be a soldier under the flicker of a retired wounded soldier, because he was good at using his brains and fighting bravely, so he was promoted very quickly. Although he does not have the legendary experience of Li Hongji, he also walked out step by step.

Zhang Bingzhong's suggestion is very simple, he asked these recruits who couldn't even tell the difference between left and right tied strips of cloth on their left arms and left feet and necks, so that they could distinguish between left and right in one day, let twenty recruits and ten veterans fight in groups, force them to cooperate with each other, and train their sense of cooperation in three days.

With these initial foundations, Sun Chuanting's troops were able to train much faster, and the herdsmen, who had previously been able to eat only two full meals at home, were now able to manage three different meals a day, and their enthusiasm for training was very high. Sun Chuanting told the recruits that only by sweating more in peacetime can they shed less blood on the battlefield, which is a super slogan of later generations, so that these recruits are training desperately to save their lives.

The three-month arduous training is over, the time has reached the end of July, Sun Chuanting has no time to continue training, and there is only less than a month and a half before the combat time stipulated by Zhu Youxiao, and these recruits already have the most basic combat skills, and if they want to become elite soldiers, they can only be tempered on the battlefield. Re-disrupt the establishment, integrate these 30,000 recruits into the ranks of veterans, let the veterans continue to guide during the march, and march while training, as for the technical arms, only the veterans can bear the responsibility.

In the canyon basin of Tangnu Wulianghai, Sun Chuanting's 50,000 soldiers and horses began to assemble, all of which were lightly armed infantry and had very strong mobility capabilities, but they were still slightly insufficient for attacking fortified positions. Zhu Youxiao's order was to seize Tomsk, which was more than 2,000 miles away from Tomsk, which could not be done by the infantry, only the light cavalry with very strong mobility could do it.

There is also a Russian military fortress between here and Tomsk - Kuznetsk, which is a very important military fortress for the Russians, built very strongly, and it is very difficult to force it down, and it has to pay a very big price, but it is a hard nail on the way to Tomsk, and it must be captured. It is not impossible to bypass it, but it will become a problem for henchmen in the future, and if the attack on Tomsco does not go well, when the troops are withdrawn, this is the greatest danger.

Sun Chuanting convened his generals to discuss how to solve the military meeting in Kuznetsk, and everyone discussed for a long time at the meeting, and there was really no good way to deal with this fortified city. Although today's infantry artillery can break through the city walls, it requires very huge logistical support, and the logistics of this era are basically impossible to guarantee when they are thousands of miles away and carry a huge amount of ammunition.

At this time, Buyan, the youngest son of Zasaktu Khan, who was invited, said: "Everyone is trying to find a way to attack, what if we take the method of deceiving the city? Our tribe has dealt with these Russians for several years, especially the Tuvan tribe, the Russians have tempted them, but they have not been deceived, these people are still very loyal to Zasaktu Khan, we now have a lot of Tuvan soldiers in the team, if they go to the city, maybe there is some hope. ”

Sun Chuanting heard this idea is good, but the city has a lot of unpredictable dangers, and the people sent must have very good qualities, not only have very good wit and fickleness, but also have strong combat ability, because once the city fails, it must be forced to act, and there is even a danger of annihilation, but do you have such talents among your subordinates? Looking at the generals under his command, Sun Chuanting was a little unconfident.

Seeing that everyone was considering the feasibility of this plan, Shuo Lei stood up with a smile and said: "General Sun, my subordinates think that the feasibility of this plan is very high, I have also dealt with people from the Tuvan tribe, and I have also had business contacts with Russians somewhere. In recent years, the Russians have indeed been tempting the Tuvan tribe, but they are not tempted, after all, they don't know much about the Russians, but they have very frequent business contacts, and there are even many people who know Russian. In order to avoid being discovered by the Russians about our attempts, there is no need to cheat the city in the name of tribal refuge, you can enter in batches in the capacity of doing business, as long as you can enter one or two hundred people, suddenly assemble at night, and seize the city gate, our brigade needs to secretly assemble not far from the city gate, and force your way in when you see the signal. Of course, there can't be too many people in this force, and too many of them are also impossible to keep secret. ”

Sun Chuanting said: "This method is feasible, but once the capture of the city gate fails, the same people who enter the city will definitely die, and the next step to attack the city will face greater difficulties." ”

He Renlong said: "Dashuai, don't be too careful, isn't it just a failure and a few more people will die?" I'll go. As long as there is a fight in the city gates, I promise to rush in as soon as possible, give me a thousand men, and I will be able to hold out at the city gates for two hours, and you can arrive within two hours, and if you can't hold out for two hours, you will cut off my head. ”

Zhang Bingzhong next to him kicked his ass and scolded: "You bastard, if you don't hold out for two hours, or if you can't catch up with Dashuai for two hours, then use Dashuai to cut your head?" The Russians would have cut off your head long ago. ”

In the army, martial arts have always been judged by strength, although Zhang Bingzhong is not as old as He Renlong, but his martial arts are higher than He Renlong. He spent two years at Daming Technical School, why was he bored? It's because it's so lonely, the family martial arts are quite exquisite, and the school's military training is a piece of cake. Then he went to the military branch of the Daming Officials Academy for two years, and then he was assigned to Sun Chuanting's troops, so this guy is very troublesome.

Then Zhang Bingzhong walked up to Sun Chuanting and whispered a few words. Sun Chuanting immediately showed a small smile on his face, yes, it is a very clever idea, in this way, the success rate of this strategy will be very high, and it can also reduce unnecessary casualties, and even capture the city gate with zero casualties.

Looking at Zhang Bingzhong with a full expression, of course, this is what He Renlong thinks in his heart, and he definitely doesn't dare to say it, He Renlong knows that this guy has bad water coming out of his stomach again, but since Sun Chuanting didn't say it in front of the big guy, it must be that the fewer people who know, the better, He Renlong had no choice but to be a stuffy gourd himself, just looked at Zhang Bingzhong viciously, which means that if you dare to forget me, you will definitely want to think of joining forces to beat you. Shuo Lei is a good wrestler, He Renlong is a sanda master, and fighting alone is not Zhang Bingzhong's opponent, but the two of them are brothers, and it is normal to beat Zhang Bingzhong together, anyway, he often practices a little, and he will not suffer a loss on the battlefield.
