After the Crimean irregulars entered the city, everything was as the previous courier had discussed with Khmelnitsky, as long as they ate and drank...... Woman......

They will never make trouble, they will obediently stay in their own acres and thirds of land to practice or enjoy, and when they need to fight, they will go up to the city wall to help.

At first, Khmelnitsky was also wary of this group of Crimean irregulars, and after three days of observation, he found that this group of Crimean irregulars was very regular in all aspects except for the greater demand for women, and his vigilance was relaxed a lot, and the most important thing was that the chief general of the Crimean irregular army was defenseless against the Cossacks, and always entered the castle hall controlled by the Cossacks with only two retinues to discuss combat countermeasures.

After all, the commander of the Crimean Irregulars did not live with his soldiers in the barracks in the city at all, but in a former Polish aristocratic mansion arranged by the Cossacks, and the security work was completely handed over to the Cossack soldiers, which was a real honesty between allies!

Three days later, Khmelnitsky's attention was attracted by larger reinforcements, and Hong Tiancheng drove outside Kiev with thousands of elite Taiping troops!

King Jan Kazimierz Vasa, the commander-in-chief of the Polish army outside Kiev, learned the size of the Taiping army from the scouts, and without firing a shot, he removed and burned all three camps besieging Kyiv, and joined forces to defend against the Taiping army and the Cossacks in the direction of Kiev.

The siege of Kiev was broken on the day of the arrival of Hong Tiancheng's army, and King Jan Kazimierz Vasa did not do so because he instigated it, but in fact Jan Kazimierz Vasa, the king of the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom who was bound by the Sym Council, had always been known for his bravery and good war, and had fought the Swedes, defeated the Russian army, and suppressed small Cossack uprisings before he ascended the throne.

In every battle, he must be personally conscripted, and he can be regarded as a very diligent king.

In continental Europe, the king's personal conquest was a very morale-boosting affair, and the greatest hope of King Jan Kazimierz Vasa in his life was to establish a truly centralized system in the Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania and eliminate the veto power of the great nobles of the Council of Sem!

It is for this reason that King Jan Casimir Vasa desperately tried his best to establish prestige among the middle and lower Polish military aristocracy, and to win over the support of the Polish nobles who wanted to support him by fighting side by side.

It is a pity that the appearance of Hong Tiancheng interrupted another feat that King Jan Kazimierz Vasa longed to establish.

The Taiping army brought by Hong Tiancheng plus the strength of the Cossacks in Kiev and the strength of the Crimean reinforcements is said to have surpassed the strength of the Polish army, although the Polish army after the division of troops now exceeds 15,000 people, but nearly half of them are logistics personnel such as miscellaneous labor, and more than half of the remaining soldiers are armed forces such as militia and mercenaries, and the real elite number is not even 3,000 people......

Therefore, after the arrival of the Taiping army, the offensive and defensive situation between the two sides was reversed in an instant, and after the Taiping army took the city of Lutsk, it had already cleared the identity of the bandit army, and was regarded by King Jan Kazimierz Vasa as a truly equally qualified opponent.

For the shrinking Polish army, Hong Tiancheng didn't pay attention to it at all, he came here with only one goal, to take Kiev City, which can be evaluated as a capital-level city in the all-out war system!

This is the first capital-level city that Hong Tiancheng is about to take!

There is no doubt that according to the 'first victory reward' routine of the all-out war system, the first capital-level city to win will definitely allow Hong Tiancheng's strength to make another qualitative leap!

The day before he arrived in Kyiv, Hong Tiancheng had a private meeting with spies sent by the Crimean irregulars.

Hong Tiancheng's Taiping army came to the outside of Kiev, forced the Polish army to retreat to a place to protect itself, and immediately sent messengers into the city to discuss cooperation with Khmelnitsky to enter the city.

For the Taiping Army, Khmelnitsky is still dealing with it for the first time, so naturally it will not be as casual as putting in reinforcements from the Crimean Khanate, this is not only a matter of the large number of Taiping troops, but more importantly, the political position of the Crimean Khanate and the Taiping Army is different!

The Crimean Khanate was unable to expand into the city of Kiev, and the Russians would not allow the Crimean Khanate to extend its tentacles into the Dnieper Valley, which Khmelnitsky knew very well, which was why he was willing to establish an alliance with the Crimean Khanate.

An ally whose strength cannot threaten itself is certainly the best ally!

It's just that the Crimean Khanate is not stupid, they know that their strength is not enough to fight against the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom and the Russian Empire, so they are naturally unwilling to really contribute, and the Crimean Khanate is just taking advantage of the internal and external troubles of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom to find an opportunity to take advantage.

However, how could the Taiping Army, a suddenly rising armed force, reassure Khmelnitsky?

The enemy of the enemy may not necessarily be a friend, the phenomenon of black eating black is not uncommon from ancient times to the present, God knows if that Hong Tiancheng has a different intention to invade the city of Kyiv?

Khmelnitsky was able to achieve this cause, so he naturally would not easily believe the olive branch handed by the Taiping army, to be precise, Khmelnitsky wanted to eat the sugar coating outside, and then send back the shells wrapped in the Taiping army.

In other words, Khmelnitsky wanted to eat the Polish army led by King Jan Kazimierz Vasa outside the city with the Taiping army, but did not allow the Taiping army to pose any threat to the city of Kiev.

Fortunately, Khmelnitsky did not suspect that the Crimean irregulars who arrived before were subordinate units of the Taiping Army, because he had personally sent someone to verify that the pure Crimean Turkic language of the Crimean irregulars and the living customs of the Crimeans had proved their identity.

Banners and equipment can be faked, but the lifestyle and accent integrated into the soldier's bones are always impossible to fake, that is nearly a thousand people, Khmelnitsky killed and did not believe that Hong Tiancheng could find so many talented 'actors', and all of them were regular army soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles!

This phenomenon beyond common sense could not be guessed by any Khmelnitsky who wanted to break his brain, after all, the Crimean irregular army was a complete copy of the troops of the Crimean Khanate of this era.

To say that the Crimean Khanate and the Taiping Army wear a pair of pants, it is even more nonsense, if the Crimean Khanate had the additional military strength of the Taiping Army, it would be good to use it directly, why bother to play the independent banner of the Taiping Army in one fell swoop?

So, in order to cooperate with Hong Tiancheng to besiege the Poles, Khmelnitsky expressed the sincerity he had promised.
