In modern times, the problem of unpaid military salaries is not a characteristic of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but a characteristic of the whole world, except for the military aristocracy with fiefdoms, whether it is the original militia or the later national standing army, military salaries are often underpaid, and the soldiers of the standing army in peacetime basically have their own 'life and work', and they only need to complete a certain degree of military training on a regular basis.

In Europe, a standing army is not equal to a professional army!

Jobs was a very ordinary man, in fact, this was the first time he had led troops to battle, and if it weren't for the hatred of his parents to support his determination to resist, he would have fled without a trace like other officers......

But Jobs knew that even if he wanted to escape, he would have to flee with his vengeful power!

"Lutsk City can no longer be defended, we can only survive to continue the revenge of the Taiping Army, if you believe me, I am willing to lead you out of this city that is about to fall into hell and continue to fight!"

Jobs knew that the militia who had not fled at this time almost all had more or less hatred with the Taiping army, because there were not many defenders on the city, and there were no more than a thousand militiamen behind the city wall.

Therefore, Jobs did not use the excuse of saving his life to lure these militiamen into leaving Lutsk, he had to be firm in sticking to the correct line of fighting!

Most of these people were collected by him with money, and the family members had more or less received his favors, and Jobs's prestige among this group of people was still relatively high, plus he was aware of the situation on weekdays, and never regarded himself as a high commander, often eating and drinking with his subordinate soldiers, and the soldiers were willing to obey his orders.

"Your Excellency, you say, we are willing to follow you, as long as we can kill the Taiping Tartars, it will be the same wherever we fight!"

Jobs' words were quickly echoed in pieces.

Half an hour later, Jobs arrived at the stables in Lutsk with the assembled militia.

"Stop! This is a military forbidden place, not a place for you to come! Jobs and his party were unsurprisingly stopped by the guards guarding the stable door, and at this time the news that the city wall was about to be untenable had not yet arrived, so the basic order in the city was still maintained.

Jobs looked at the guards in front of him, who were less than ten people, and shouted loudly to the back with a fierce light in his eyes: "Brothers, there is a horse team of the Taiping Army patrolling outside the city of Lutsk, if we want to leave safely, we must have enough war horses to kill the lackeys of these incompetent nobles!" ”

With a bang, white smoke came out of the arquebus in Jobs' hand, and the Polish guard who intercepted it fell to the ground with a look of disbelief, and the henchman who followed Jobs immediately pulled the trigger of the arquebus.

The guards guarding the stable were quickly purged by Jobs' men, who burst into the stable like a group of robbers, stepped up one by one or two by two, and rushed behind Jobs to the opposite gate of the Taiping army.

Just as Jobs' men were snatching the horses, a roar broke out on the city wall, and the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion climbed the city wall that had just been extinguished without much resistance, and the Polish slaves with red turbans cowered on the edge of the battlements to make way for these wolf-like Taiping soldiers.

Not all Polish militia at the city walls were as open as Jobs, and they soon became the ghosts of the musketeers of the Divine Battalion, and they were powerless against the superior regular army!

When the battle flag of the Taiping army was planted in the city, the frightened shouts of the city finally sounded in the city of Lutsk, the Taiping army swept through the streets of the city of Lutsk as if it was in a no-man's land, the nobles of the original Lutsk city had already fled out of the city, Hong Tiancheng's traditional tactics of encircling three missing one have achieved results, and those Lutsk nobles who escaped from the city were surrounded and suppressed by Lithuanian Tatar cavalry archers, and less than two out of ten got away with it......

After Hong Tiancheng saw that the overall situation had been decided, he asked Zhao Zuo to check the casualties of the Ottoman light shield soldiers, when the city head exploded and caught fire, the Ottoman light shield soldiers had already boarded the city, which made Hong Tiancheng can't help but have extra thoughts in his heart.

Before, he had promised to give the Ottoman light shields to enter the city and plunder the city for three days and three nights, if the Ottoman light shields did not exist......

Well, after the city was broken, Lutsk was occupied by the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion without resistance, and the tactics of encircling three without one made the last essence of the city become the bodyguards of those fugitive nobles, and were killed by the Lithuanian Tatar cavalry on the wasteland outside the city like a hunt, so in this siege battle, in addition to the loss of a batch of Polish cannon fodder, only the Ottoman light shield soldiers suffered the most serious battle losses.

This is the reason why Hong Tiancheng is anxious to determine whether the Ottoman light shield soldiers still have 'value', for this kind of mercenary whose morale value is maintained by robbery and money, Hong Tiancheng has always used it as a consumable, and the mercenaries are always in front of the war, and the main force of the Taiping army is behind, if the mercenaries lose their combat power, the promises he made can naturally be withdrawn, and the dead cannot enjoy the joy of robbery.

It didn't take long for Zhao Zan's accurate news to send accurate news, the Ottoman light shield soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city together with the Ottoman light shield commander Hakan. Sukh all died there, and the final death of the Polish warriors was very successful.

Hong Tiancheng, who got accurate information, naturally there is no need to fulfill the promise of slaughtering the city, Lutsk City has been regarded by him as his wealth, even if he does not slaughter the city under the holy treasury system, everything in the city will be squeezed dry by the Taiping army, if the city is washed, most of the wealth will go into the pockets of those mercenaries!

If the combat strength of the Ottoman light shield soldiers still exists, Hong Tiancheng will not hesitate to use the wealth of the Poles to maintain the peak morale of the Ottoman light shield soldiers, and now that the Ottoman light shield soldiers are dead, the meaning will naturally be different.

As for the Swedish musket mercenaries, who lost about 200 people, as long as they were given enough war allowances, they were already very happy, and the mercenaries looked at money rather than enjoying the pleasure of washing the city, which is why the Ottoman light shield soldiers had such a perverted bad taste......

Just as Hong Tiancheng was quietly waiting for the reward information for the occupation of Lutsk prompted by the Total War system, the Total War system suddenly sent out an unprecedented message.

[Congratulations to the host's army for occupying the second capital-level city, the host has proven its ability, and the temporary prestige mission has begun!] 】
