103 The Poles who want to pick up the leak

"Report~~~" A quick and long male voice came from outside the big tent, and King Jan Kazimierz Vasa, who was pointing at the marching battle map with many Polish noble generals, couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at the curtain of the big tent.

"Your Majesty, after the Taiping Army General Hong Tiancheng entered the city today, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the city of Kiev, and it has not stopped until now, and the main force of the Taiping Army, which is opposed to our army, dispatched the whole army and marched quickly in the direction of Kiev City."

After hearing this, King Jan Kazimierz Vasa and many Polish noble generals couldn't help but look at each other, and then their eyes fell on King Jan Kazimierz Vasa.

Most of the people who remained outside Kiev were Polish noble generals who supported King Jan Kazimierz Vasa, which was also what King Jan Kazimierz Vasa meant when dividing his troops, and it was also the 'unspoken rule' that was customary in the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania.

In order to better carry out the orders given by the commander-in-chief during the battle, the Polish noble generals who were on good relations and had the same political position, or at least the same on the surface, stayed together.

Although King Jan Kazimierz Vasa's power in the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania could only be regarded as a relatively powerful line of the Polish aristocracy at best, he still established a lot of personal prestige in the past military wars, and really won over a group of Polish nobles who believed in him.

King Jan Kazimierz Vasa, perceiving the attention of the crowd, naturally knew that the time had come for him to give the final order, and if he had not grasped such an obvious 'opportunity', King Jan Kazimierz Vasa's reputation for incompetence, cowardice, and cowardice would have spread throughout the army the next day!

The sound of gunfire in the city of Kyiv clearly shows that the Taiping army has infighting with the Cossack rebels for some reason, and even the main force of the Taiping army on the periphery of Kyiv has begun to move rapidly towards the city of Kyiv.

There are nearly 20,000 Poles stationed on the outskirts of Kyiv, and even if most of them are young militiamen who are in charge of logistics and miscellaneous work, it is not a problem to pick up knives and cut people, not to mention, there are still thousands of them who can fight the regular army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what reason there is infighting between the Taiping army and the Cossack rebels in Kyiv, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, and it is impossible to distinguish a clear winner in the city of Kyiv in a short time, that is, we will not have to face any attack in the direction of Kyiv during this time!

According to our scout's intelligence investigation in the past few days, Hong Tiancheng of the Taiping Army entered the city of Kiev with 500 personal guard battalions, and the main force of the Taiping Army in the camp outside the city still has more than 4,000 troops, including nearly 500 Tatar cavalry archers, and the rest are all infantry, although the Taiping Army is equipped with a high rate of muskets, they have no artillery!

Therefore, if we attack the main force of the Taiping Army, which is moving out of the camp and towards the city of Kiev, we have a great chance of victory!

For the sake of Greater Poland, I order, immediately start with a large army, and attack the main force of the Taiping Army in an all-out way! ”

"Long live Greater Poland!! The Polish generals who stayed in the camp echoed confidently, and then, King Jan Kazimierz Vasa guarded the left and right wings of the front army one by one, and the combat mission assignment instructions of the troops behind the palace were issued, and the Polish generals who received the order responded to King Jan Kazimierz Vasa, and immediately walked out of the camp to dispatch their men and horses to start the subordination.

The entire Polish camp began to operate at high load, and the Polish troops who stayed outside Kiev were always in a state of readiness in order to defend themselves against the attacks of the Taiping and Cossack rebels, so it did not take much time for them to rush out of the camp with their troops.

The Polish light cavalry, which was the first to attack, quickly hooked the rear of the main Taiping army and used bows, arrows, muskets and other harassment methods to slow down the movement of the main Taiping army.

For this reason, the Lithuanian Tatar cavalry archers fought fiercely with the Polish light cavalry units.

It's a pity that the Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania is a cavalry-based Eastern European power, not only the Polish hussars are famous all over the world, but also the number of other ordinary cavalry troops, King Jan Kazimierz Vasa led the real elite troops in the Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania, the number of cavalry is naturally not low, in fact, the regular army of the Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania is almost all cavalry.

Most of the infantry was filled by city guards, security forces, militia and mercenaries.

Although the Lithuanian Tatar cavalry archers were inferior in numbers, their superb horsemanship and fierce combat style still prevented the Polish light cavalry from harassing the main force of the Taiping army.

However, King Jan Casimir Vasa was even more resolute than the Taiping commander imagined, and after finding that the Polish light cavalry could not hold back the main force of the Taiping army, he resolutely sent a large brigade of Polish hussars to rush and kill!

Naturally, the Lithuanian Tatar archers could not compete with the Polish hussars, they could not even use kite flying tactics, because every Polish hussar had a cavalry flintlock musket in their hands......

After the main force of the Taiping Army saw the Polish hussars attacking, the command flag in the marching column suddenly changed, and the whining and rapid horn sounded throughout the army, and the officers at all levels of the main force of the Taiping Army seemed to have a premeditated tacit understanding that the front team changed to the rear team, and the rear team turned to the front team to face the oncoming Polish hussars!

The main front army of the Taiping Army after the mutation was a veteran Swedish musket mercenary whose combat effectiveness had been tested in street battles.

The left and right flanks and the rear team were filled by the musketeers of the Ming army's Shenji Battalion, forming a large horizontal formation shooting formation similar to a queue for shooting.

Turning to the main force of the Taiping Army in battle formation, the goal was clearly to rush to the battlefield of the fierce battle between the Lithuanian Tatar cavalry archers and the Polish light cavalry, at this moment, the Polish hussars had already launched a charge against the Lithuanian Tatar cavalry archers, and the commander of the main force of the Taiping Army was to choke the main force of the Polish hussars to follow the line at the point in time!

It was only at this time that King Jan Kazimierz Vasa realized that the main force of the Taiping Army had no intention of supporting the city of Kiev from beginning to end, they were just waiting for the main Polish force to pursue and send the Polish hussars to charge.
