To the south of the Omsk fortress, the military camps of the Ming army were grouped together, and the three supreme commanders headed by Mao Wenlong, Zhang Bingzhong, and Batur were also studying the battle plan this time. They were also very cautious about the war. According to the historical laws of war, the law of using soldiers, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to divide it if it is doubled, the enemy can fight, and if it is less, it can escape, if not, it can be avoided, and at the end of the strong crossbow, it is impossible to penetrate the reckless. However, not only are the troops not as large as the enemy, but they are also running thousands of miles, and the situation is obviously not favorable to the Ming army, so they must carefully prepare for war, formulate a good battle plan, strive for a quick victory, and avoid being under the fortification of the city for a long time.

Petrov's 30,000 Cossack dragoons rushed towards the forward position of the Ming army, the momentum of the 30,000 war horses charging was very amazing, guarding the forward position was Zhang Bingzhong's more than 20,000 horses, according to the prepared combat strategy, Zhang Bingzhong's troops had already prepared enough machine guns, and when the Cossack dragoons entered the firing range, Zhang Bingzhong immediately ordered to shoot, a fire dragon erupted from the muzzle, and a piece of Cossack dragoons fell off their horses. The cavalry in the front row fell off their horses, and the cavalry in the back quickly jumped off their horses, and the horses also lay on the ground to avoid bullets, which was the standard tactic of the dragoons, and the soldiers began to counterattack on the spot in an infantry formation, firing at the Ming army with flintlock pistols.

Seeing the Cossack dragoons dismount their horses, the mortar positions of the Ming army began to shoot, and the overwhelming shells flew over, and suddenly the Cossack dragoons were blown up to the ground, and the horses lying on the ground were also frightened and began to run around the battlefield, resulting in a chaotic attack formation of the Cossack dragoons. Under normal circumstances, it is possible to counterattack now, but Zhang Bingzhong understands that a chaotic situation like this should not be the best moment to attack, and those Don hippos that lose control can not only cause chaos to the enemy, but also cause trouble to their own formation.

The mortar and machine gun strikes continued, the target of the war horse was much larger than the target of the soldiers, when most of the war horses were killed, a small part of the war horses were controlled by the Cossack dragoons, and the forward team began to retreat, Zhang Bingzhong waved his hand, Batur's five thousand cavalry team quickly attacked, followed behind the Cossack dragoons and began to cover the kill, Batur's soldiers rode sweaty horses at this time to exert their power, fast speed, explosive power, even if Petrov in order to cover the retreat, sent more than 10,000 cavalry to counterattack, With the assistance of artillery, more than 30,000 dragoons withdrew to the Omsk fortress, less than 15,000 people were intact, it can be said that this tentative attack made Admiral Petrov suffer heavy losses, and he had to pay attention to Leonid's suggestion, stick to the fortress, and never take the initiative to attack, on the one hand, he asked Tobolsk for help, on the other hand, he consumed the time of the Ming army, trying to wait for the Ming army's logistical supply difficulties, and then launch an all-out counterattack.

Just when the Ming army was fighting with the Cossack dragoons of the Tsarist army under the fortress of Omsk, the mercenaries organized by the Stroganov family quietly dispatched, and more than 30,000 mercenaries took advantage of the familiar terrain to approach the nameless town covertly, intending to cut off the supply point of the Ming army, causing the Ming army to be cut off from the back road, and then cooperate with the counterattack of the Tomsk fortress to completely defeat the attack of the Ming army.

Sun Chuanting's strategic arrangement for the war was very sufficient, and he had already informed Mao Wenlong that he was ready to guard the nameless town. Among the 10,000 soldiers of Zheng Sancang, in addition to his original more than 3,000 light mortar cavalry, the rest were 7,000 cavalry sent by Sun Chuanting.

Zheng Sanpao is a five-body admirer of Sun Chuanting, he dares to drink and laugh with Kong Youde, these fierce leaders, and even Mao Wenlong pats his shoulder and calls him little brother, but in front of Sun Chuanting, they are indeed well-behaved, they are not a type of person, but this does not prevent Zheng Sanpao from respecting Sun Chuanting. This time Sun Chuanting handed over his strongest troops to his command, Mao Wenlong was moved to the blood, and there was the idea of dying for his confidant, but the general of this team was called Sheng Luo, who was a very calm person, and he still reminded Zheng Sanpao, first of all, to ensure that he would not die, and secondly, to make meritorious contributions, worthy of Sun Chuanting's attention, everything was in vain when he died, and the result made Zheng Sanpao sullen.

Although Zheng Sanpao was sullen, Sheng Luo's reminder still made Zheng Sanpao sober enough, and Zheng Sanpao sent ranger detectives within a radius of five hundred miles to the town, so when the mercenaries of the Stroganov family appeared, they were discovered by the soldiers of the Ming army early. Zheng Sanpao only understood at this time why Sun Chuanting was liked by Emperor Zhu Youxiao, he was not only low-key, but also very cautious, even if he was his subordinates, he was also a rare assistant.

After getting the news that a large number of mercenaries were coming to attack the nameless town, Zheng Sanpao invited Sheng Luo to study how to deal with it. After careful study by the two, it was believed that Stroganov's mercenaries not only wanted to capture this town, but more likely planned to create chaos in the rear of the Ming army, cut off the supply line of the Ming army, and cause a shortage of material supplies for the Ming army and confusion in the front line. Therefore, after this battle, not only must these mercenaries be defeated, but also these mercenaries must be completely annihilated, otherwise, with the means of these mercenaries, I am afraid that a series of harassment actions will be launched along the supply line of the Ming army, and Zheng Sanpao It is impossible for them to protect their troops along this more than 1,000-mile road, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, so there will always be a time to miss.

In this case, Zheng Sanpao discussed with Sheng Luo, and Zheng Sanpao led 3,000 men and horses to defend the city, showing the enemy's weakness, luring Stroganov's mercenaries to attack the city, and taking advantage of the favorable terrain around the town to trap and kill these mercenaries in large numbers, while Sheng Luo hid outside the town with more than 7,000 foot cavalry, and waited until the morale of these mercenaries was exhausted, and surrounded and annihilated them around the town, even if they could not be completely annihilated, they should be beaten so that they no longer dared to have this idea of harassing the logistics line.

The ranger detectives who withdrew from all directions, quietly left the town with more than 7,000 cavalry and headed in the direction of Bingzhong Fort, giving the impression that they were going back to Bingzhong Fort to transport supplies. Many of the Cossack mercenaries were bandits roaming in this area, and they were more familiar with the geography of this area than the Ming army, so they had to retreat a little farther away, so that the mercenaries would believe that they really wanted to return to Bingzhong Fort, so that they could rest assured and boldly besiege this nameless town.

After receiving the news that most of the soldiers of the Ming army had left the nameless town, the commander of the mercenaries was very happy, if the Ming army really had more than 10,000 people guarding the town, they really did not have the confidence to capture it, and at most they harassed around the town. The order given to them by the Stroganov family was to harass the supply lines of the Ming army, not necessarily to capture that place, but the town was a very obvious and important target, and now that there was an opportunity to take it, it would cause great panic to the Ming army.

More than 30,000 Cossack mercenaries poured into the town, and in half a day, the town was surrounded by water, and ten times the number of troops besieged the town, and the town was not a real castle, without strong walls. In their opinion, with a tenfold disparity in strength, the Ming army may have long been disheartened, and even the attack will not take too long before it collapses.

In order to better fool these mercenaries, Zheng Sancang arranged a defensive line three miles away around the town, and scattered more than 1,000 soldiers in these positions, which have been dug into a network of trenches extending in all directions, which is also an effective strategy for the Ming army to carry out positional warfare, which not only facilitates the shooting cover of their own troops, retreats safely, but also effectively delays the speed of cavalry marching, so that the enemy can only attack according to the predetermined offensive route, which can cause them greater losses.

When the mercenaries of the Stroganov family came to the front of the town, they were surprised in their hearts, although there were no strong castle stone walls, but there were trenches crisscrossing everywhere, and the cavalry, who were known for their speed and impact, could hardly play their advantage in front of such a position, and had to dismount and become infantry, which greatly limited their combat effectiveness. Especially for those bandits, they are known for sneak attacks, they can fight if they can fight, and run away if they can't beat them, this is their trick, and it is also the most headache tactic for all bandits.
