Even the Daluo Golden Immortal can't stand such cold weather, let alone these mortals. There are a large number of non-combat reductions in the Cossacks.

Ambush outside Ningyuan County at night, people can only rely on single-layer cowhide tents to keep warm. The tent with a small space cannot be fired inside. The fires are placed outside, and sometimes they can even be blown away by strong winds.

Many soldiers were frozen to death in their sleep, and they could not even bury zombies, and could not even dig the frozen land.

I could only temporarily pile these frozen soldiers in the snow, and from a distance I looked like piles of Jingguan!

The food was even scarce. The Yili River Valley had long been eaten by these locust-like Cossacks. The local herders escaped. The remaining part was defeated by General Rong Quan of Ningyuan City, and some were robbed!

At this moment, the Cossacks could only send cavalry teams to attack other Khanates in Central Asia. They had to plunder the people of other Khanates in this icy and snowy winter to maintain the battle.

Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, east of the Aral Sea and north of Afghanistan were completely injured. I thought that I could take advantage of the Chinese people by relying on the Tsarist Russia, but I didn't expect that in the end they became lambs under the razor.

Although these Cossacks struggled to fight the Qing army, it was invincible to deal with these backward Khanate in Central Asia. A large number of cattle, sheep, livestock were robbed, and food and grass were continuously transported to the Ili River Valley.

But just like this, these Cossacks who attacked Ningyuan City still froze to death in large quantities and starved to death!

The reason is very simple. These Central Asian countries are too poor and backward, without industry, and the original handicraft industry is also very backward!

What the Tsarist Russian army needs most at the moment is not food, but actually a large amount of warming equipment, high-quality tents and the best warming equipment.

What you need is charcoal and kerosene, what you need is fur, cotton, wool and other supplies to protect the cold.

But there is no such thing in Central Asia. The herdsmen burned cow dung, let alone kerosene, and there was not much coal. Except for the Khan Kings who could burn charcoal, other herdsmen and people were just suffering from the cold winter.

The winter of 1873 was too difficult. The entire Central Asian region was mixed up by the harassment war in the Ili River Valley, and all countries were brought in.

The Red-bearded Brigade Commander in the east of Ningyuan City knocked his frozen hair on the head, and knocked away his random thoughts. Looking at the more than two thousand brothers under his command, he couldn't help but sigh.

But at this moment, information was sent back from the front. Today, the Chinese appeared from the opposite side of his defense line, and the target was the forage in the ranch!

"Prepare for the battle! The Tsar's warriors! The Cossacks polish their sabers... prepare to charge!"

"There are only three cannons on the other side, just like before, there must be only one or two shells, and it is not scary at all... rush up and kill all these Chinese!"

It is much better to have a battle to warm your body, than to curl up in the snow and blow the cold wind. The soldiers who were frozen like zombies, with white frost and ice all over their bodies, launched a charge towards the Qing army!

At this moment, General Rong Quan at the top of Ningyuan City was suddenly shocked. He put down his telescope and shouted, "It's bad! The enemy has arranged a brigade's troops in front of him..."

"There are support from the north and south... They are going to fight a big battle... order the forward to garrison on the spot immediately and dispatch three thousand people to pick up the response!"
