These forces, however, can count on reinforcements from the second line, which totals one hundred and twenty-nine thousand men and eight thousand Cossacks with four hundred and thirty-four guns and four hundred and thirty-three rounds of ammunition.

In the third line are the thirty-six recruit depots and militias, which come to the total of approximately one hundred and sixty-one thousand men of various and highly disparate military values, of which about one hundred and thirty-three thousand actually take part in the defense.

This bottom line, however, includes more than eight thousand Cossacks and militiamen, as well as about twenty thousand men who garrison the fortresses in the operational area.
