However, since it is just cannon fodder, quality is not so important, so even if it is an old and weak woman and child, as long as he can ride a horse and dare to kill, Bai Lang will not refuse to come, if not, even in the future generations, it will still be on the vast and sparsely populated Kazakh steppe, and he only controls less than half, where are the tens of thousands of cavalry? Another advantage of this is that they are all dragging their families with them, and they are less likely to betray or escape, and they dare to fight harder when fighting.

However, due to the continuous bullying of Tsarist Russia for hundreds of years, the fear of the Russian army of these Central Asian herdsmen has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and Bai Lang still can't expect too much from it if this problem is not solved. In fact, after discovering that they had passively become "suspicious soldiers" who seemed to them to be completely outcasts, these people almost collapsed and scattered, but fortunately, Bai Lang knew the habits of the steppe nomads and had already taken countermeasures. It's just that Bai Lang needs to convince the main cadres of the 7th Cavalry Brigade first, including the political commissar, because the method he has come up with is not new, and all the nomads are used to doing it, that is, to plunder the army to boost morale.

Moreover, the target of Brown's looting was the Russians (in this case, the Caucasian race in Europe, especially the three core ethnic groups of Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians). The cities inhabited, which can also play a similar role as "casting names", and it is impossible for those Central Asian cavalry to fall to the side of Tsarist Russia after they have blood debts. At the same time, the commander of the Russian army, or his superiors, is likely to be provoked and lose his mind, and then Bai Lang's troops will have an opportunity.

If the Seventh Brigade had done such a thing by itself, it would have been severely punished after returning home, but if it were those Central Asians who were not even counted as allies, it would not be difficult to shirk the responsibility, not to mention that before the Western Expedition, the General Staff specially authorized the expeditionary force to act cheaply, which was not a big problem.

Those Central Asian cavalry didn't think that doing so would completely anger the Tsarist government, but the long-term hard life on the steppe made them unable to resist the temptation of plunder, not to mention that they still held a grudge against Tsarist Russia in their hearts, and they had long wanted to take revenge like this. As a result, Bai Lang didn't even need to give them orders, as long as he put those herdsmen in after taking the town, the cries of women and children would naturally be heard in the town......

There is always a little bit of bestiality in the human body, although the atrocities of those herdsmen have not been seen in person, but the various voices from afar still make some of the young men of the Seventh Brigade a little heavy, but due to the harsh military discipline, no one dares to follow and rush into the town, and Bai Lang taught his subordinates with a sarcastic tone, "There is nothing to envy, how many things can be grabbed in such a small town?" Only these dirt buns will be treasures, and they have the life to rob them, but they don't necessarily have the life to spend them! ”

Indeed, before the real battle began, the spontaneous resistance of the Russian civilians and the remnants of the defenders in various towns and cities made the tens of thousands of Central Asian cavalry lose a lot, and in less than ten days, the accumulation was no less than a thousand, and Bai Lang actually led this "army" with complex sources to continue westward, and it really approached the Ural River!

The Russian high command that received the urgent report was suddenly Sparta, and the main forces of the Siberian Front wanted to recapture Omsk as soon as possible, and this battle was of great importance, and troops must not be drawn from it, otherwise no one could bear the responsibility if the time to recover Omsk was delayed, or even if the battle was lost.

And then the transfer of garrisons in the Urals? But the local forces are already empty enough! If you draw it again, it will be exhausted, and then the main force of the Chinese expeditionary force in Omsk will only need to divide one regiment to avoid the real attack and attack the weak, and capture the cities in that area at will. You must know that although Petropavl and Kurgan are small cities, if they are lost, it will still lead to the cutting off of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and at that time, it will not only be the problem of the supply of hundreds of thousands of Russian troops east of Omsk, but even the main force of the Siberian Front attacking Omsk will face the same dilemma, which will be terrible! And Yekaterinburg is the general logistics base of the Russian army in this war, and most of the material reserves are stored here, which cannot be lost!

In the absence of troops to be adjusted in the urgency, the Russian army command can only urge the Central Asian Front to speed up and catch up with the damn cavalry, but at this time, the Central Asian Front has not yet transferred all the eastern armies back, because they can only use the transfer of troops to the east There is only one railway, and the troops were transferred to the east before, and the loss was quite large, and now it is suddenly reversed, where is it so easy to complete the task?

So, as Bai Lang expected, at the urging of the Russian high command, the army that had been transferred to the northwest of the Central Asian Front no longer waited and immediately set off to intercept Bai Lang's troops, and most of the men and horses of this front army had just gotten off the train, and even stayed on the train, or even waited to get on the train at all! Nearly 400,000 troops, due to the limitation of railway capacity and the strict urging of the Russian army high command out of reality, the troops could not be concentrated at all, and this gave Bai Lang a chance to break through.

As if falling from the sky, the 7th Brigade of the Bailang Cavalry, which was full of people and horses, successfully made a covert march to the flank of the Russian army heading north, quickly cutting through the gap between the two Russian infantry corps, and completely dividing it. However, the Russian army, relying on its superiority in strength and reinforcements behind it, did not panic, but boldly chose to flank the front and rear, but was heavily shelled by the Chinese Seventh Cavalry Brigade, which had been prepared for a long time......

Due to the low quality of the soldiers, the Russian army's "crowd" tactics are still very rough, and they often forget to do alternate cover, and they simply rush forward in a swarm, and the spacing in the charging queue is obviously too close, resulting in a surprisingly high killing efficiency of the artillery bombardment. Mortar shells rained down on the Russian ranks, creating a terrible storm of death......

Although the penetration force is insufficient because of the muzzle velocity, the reloading coefficient of the mortar shell is greater, not to mention the flesh and blood that are not protected and covered in the charge, even if it is called a "fighting nation", it is still as vulnerable in the face of shrapnel. After a series of explosions, the Russian army that was still all over the mountains just now has become sparse, and many people were directly stunned, screaming and turning to flee, some of them were killed on the spot by the Overseers to make an example, but compared with those comrades who spontaneously or were forced by the Overseers to continue the charge, they were still lucky......
