Chapter 478: Battle of the Lower Uralpol

The army of the White Waves marched along the Syr Darya, first reaching the Aral Sea, and only then to the Caspian Sea. Raiding cities south along the shores of the Caspian Sea, burning and looting after breaking them down – there was no respect for religious gold and silverware. The special style of the cross with gold and silver on the church, and the silver-encrusted icons in the church, were all taken down and stripped of the surface of the gold, silver and precious stones, and the others were burned.

The precious books were not burned, but packed up for the convoy to take away. A lot of silverware was snatched from the city, including exquisite exotic silverware from the Middle East, but it was not easy to smash it directly as a silver nugget, so it had to be sent back with straw in a wooden box. As for the rest, there were exotic female captives, and the whole army could be happy - but Bai Lang didn't let the mess come, but distributed it to those soldiers.

After a few nights, he will make a roster, and then he will still let the teams that come to carry the loot take it back, and no one will rob him along the way—Bai Lang has already spread his murderous reputation all over the grassland. The women of these booty will be sent back to Daqin, where they will be distributed in the capital. Bai Lang didn't collect a few of them, because none of the ones he had caught so far were in his eyes.

The White Wave army tortured the Tsar's army from the captured local nobles and found that the Tsar's army had arrived, so the White Wave ordered the whole army to turn around and march north towards the Ural River - the first goal was to capture the Lower Ural Fort. "I waited for the Tsar's army to come, and I wanted them not to return to Moscow. Bai Lang's words were murderous, and he was also very happy, he finally had the opportunity to kill the Western barbarians.

Lower Uralburg is a castle of stone and wood, Bai Lang selected a few elites to follow him, and after entering the castle directly, the army surrounded him, and he began to kill in the castle. The settlers outside the castle were also captured and looted, and the walls were of little use. The occupants of the Lower Uralpol fled through the city gates, preferring to surrender directly to the "Tatar" troops outside than to be killed by the terrible men inside the castle like bugs.

The Lower Urals Fort was destroyed, the castle was forced by the White Wave Army to be demolished by the inhabitants, and the stone was used to build a parapet wall. Bai Lang sent light horsemen out a hundred miles to investigate, and after four days, the scouting returned that the Tsar's army had been discovered. In these years, the tsar and the Cossacks cooperated, but at the same time there was confrontation, even a little more. The Cossacks not only refused to pay taxes to the tsar, but also loved to plunder the cities founded by the tsar.

Anyway, Bai Lang doesn't care, as long as these nomads are all executed by him, he doesn't need these people to pay him blood tax, he just needs them to go back to the west of the Ural River. The size of the tsar's army was personally investigated by Bai Lang after receiving the report. According to his estimates, the tsar mobilized about 50,000 to 70,000 people? Finally, after many cavalry reconnaissance and a detailed estimate of the size of the Tsarist army? The Tsar's army was probably around fifty-five thousand.

"It's all about the guns. After observing the formation, Bai Lang said to the generals, there are a lot of firecrackers in the Tsarist army? Has even begun to popularize flintlock pistols? There were also some armored spearmen, and the cavalry were of the kind similar to the Cossacks. Bai Lang also saw no less than fifty pieces of artillery? "I just don't know that the so-called Romanov Tsar is not in the formation. "The tsar's army was supposed to be led by several dukes, and the main commanders were foreigners......

Russian officers are just apprentices who help them get started? These commanders are veterans of the Thirty Years' War in Europe? Has a wealth of combat experience. Compared with the establishment and command of the Russian army, Bailang's army is more like an ancient army that came out of history. His army was still armed with arquebuses, and the proportion of equipment was not high, and most of the infantry were armed with shields and spears. The artillery is also a light Tiger squat cannon first-class? There are only twenty-four in total.

The cavalry on the opposite side was already armed with reed pistols? And Bai Lang's cavalry is not equipped with this thing, and he has not even seen it, and the three-eyed gun is not equipped. Among his cavalry were the "ancient" armored cavalry, all of which were inferior. The inhabitants of the Lower Uralburg secretly escaped every day, and the camp set up by Bai Lang was not so tight, and he also had two-thirds of the logistics artisan battalion and a part of the cavalry and infantry grazing cattle dozens of kilometers away.

These people won't come? They had to watch over hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep. All they needed to do was send supplies and weapons to the barracks in Bailang on a regular basis. All this information was brought to the Tsarist army by the fleeing inhabitants of the city. And even they brought the news that there was a "Great Khan" in the army of these "Tatars"? This made the upper echelons of the tsarist army very proud - if the Great Khan of the Tatars had been captured, wouldn't there be more land and ransom?

The two sides did not send envoys to each other? This was Bai Lang's unilateral refusal, he put on the appearance of taking the initiative to attack, but only a part of the cavalry was dispatched. All the armored cavalry he belongs to is out of battle? The iron armor on the original horse has been remade by the craftsman battalion with leather armor inlaid with iron sheets? Is it very much lower weight and easier to drape? The felt hangs down to avoid being injured by arrows, and it also has some protection against buckshot.

And the person wears fish scale chain mail, no plate armor - not that there is no seizure, but there is little seizure and he is not used to wearing it. The weapons in his hands are naturally spears plus knives and war hammers, and there are bows and arrows in the distance. Bai Lang also put on the armor that was polished and reflected, and put on a gold-inlaid helmet, leading the way in front of the whole army. Several of the cavalry were specially hoisted with the white tiger banner of Bai Lang, and after the banner was raised, Bai Lang led the cavalry to slowly move forward in a conical formation.

The Tsarist army unfolded a formation after rejecting the horses, starting with a cone formation that bombarded Bai Lang with artillery - this formation was stretched very elongated, and the front was almost Bai Lang alone. The shells flew over and bounced on the ground a few times, but nothing hit, so the artillery fire was put on hold for the time being, waiting for the Tatar cavalry to get closer. Bai Lang made a gesture, and the cavalry behind him slowed down, while Bai Lang himself urged the war horse to start accelerating.

At the beginning, Bai Lang had already said that he would break through the battle first, and the cavalry would follow after disrupting the other party - who let the previous ghost run out, and he had to take it now. He rushed over alone, it was naturally a firecracker gathering fire, and when Bai Lang rushed into about fifty meters, more than three hundred firecrackers fired. Then the stunned officers and soldiers of the Tsar were left unscathed.

Some of the soldiers and officers with good eyesight saw the buckshot hit the man and the horse under his crotch, but the situation was that it did not cause any damage at all, and the buckshot deformed and flew away.
