Grodno is a famous city in Lithuania, with tens of thousands of permanent residents in the Polish-Lithuanian era, and the floating population often exceeds the 100,000 population mark, which is second only to the first-tier city standard in Eastern Europe at that time.

However, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom took over, due to wars and civic uprisings, the city's permanent population had dropped to less than 10,000, and the only benefit of this situation was that due to the scarcity of young and middle-aged people, the city's law and order became very good!

Along with the few remaining ruffians and vagrants, they were also recruited as security corps, and had what is commonly known as iron rice bowl work.

The current situation of the city is also the general situation in Lithuania under the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it is almost impossible to see young men in the streets and alleys, and if it is not for the occasional patrol of the security corps in black uniforms, they can be mistaken for the daughter country.

Many white women had already taken on the work of men in the past, and in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, white men either worked for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and maintained law and order, or hid in the mountains and forests to become guerrillas who were no different from bandits.

In such large cities, in addition to the security regiment and the Han Xiejun, there are often more than 20 Taiping soldiers, managed by a single Liangsi, who is also the military commander of all the security forces in the entire city.

This, of course, is in peacetime.

However, today, the city of Grodno is crowded with a whole battalion of the main force of the Taiping army, and the city walls are crowded with security regiments wearing black uniforms and Han Xiejun troops wearing red uniforms.

Miles outside the city, densely packed with soldiers dressed in civilian clothing and improvised leather armor, white crusader flags interspersed among them, the city of Grodno has been surrounded by tens of thousands of Christian Brotherhood, and more than a dozen cannons of various types are bombarding the city walls one by one.

Behind the city, from time to time, members of the security regiment who escaped from the battle were pulled into the open field by the overseers of the Taiping army, and executed on the spot......

Although the security regiment has no combat obligations, it has the responsibility of defending the territory, if there is no Taiping soldiers to watch, the collapse will be dispersed, but in the big city of the security regiment, it is difficult to escape the eyes of the Taiping soldiers, naturally, the salary of the security team members in the big city will be correspondingly higher.

Compared with the security regiment that became a dog, the white soldiers of the Han Association Army wearing red uniforms were more calm, they held muskets in their hands, and they accompanied the melee hand axes or swords at their waists, and all of them had been trained by the regular army, and they were told to go to the battlefield on the first day of enlistment.

Of course, the Han Concord Army behaved so naturally, and it was inseparable from the Taiping Army Inspectorate behind it, and the Taiping Army in Grodno was the unit from the Vilno Guard Regiment.

Jobs once again carried forward his full 'Long March' skills, and when Hong Tiancheng was busy helping the puppet version of the Polish king to suppress the rebellion of Jan Sobiesky, he led the main force of the Christian Brotherhood to cross the border with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom again, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled guards in the Masovia region, all the way like locusts, and exterminated the white traitors who surrendered to the Taiping Army in the name of 'justice', along with the replenishment of military supplies.

Under the command of the Chinese commander of the Christian Brotherhood, a herald on horseback came at a gallop to report: "Chief, the city of Grodno refuses to surrender, the Taiping army has bloodily suppressed opposition in the city, and hundreds of surrenderers have been shot for public display. ”

"Sure enough, the Taiping Army, a group of madmen who are not afraid of death, want to drag the whole city to be buried with them and launch a full-scale attack, we don't have much time to spend with them, we can allow the Taiping Army's security regiment and the Han Association Army to surrender, but we can't let go of a single Taiping Han soldier!"

With Jobs's order, the earth-shattering war drums accompanied by the roar of artillery suddenly sounded, and the musket queue of the Christian Brotherhood stepped forward in a horizontal phalanx, and when it stepped into the effective range of the musket, it stopped and lined up in a simple horizontal column towards the city to suppress the fire, and there was a gap between each row of gun horizontal formation, from which the hand-to-hand soldiers carrying the ladder to the city continued to pour out, charging up.

The Han Association Army and the Taiping Army on the city wall rely on the battlements at the head of the city, which can effectively reduce their own casualties, on the other hand, the siege troops under the city are uncovered and are subjected to intensive musket fire, but the gap between the forces of the two sides is too big, the Christian Brotherhood launched an attack from the four city walls at the beginning, and the Taiping army defending the city even if it adds the security regiment and the Han Army, each city head seems to be insufficient!

It's just that the battalion commander of the Taiping Army never thought that he could hold the city, and his order was to let the Christian Brotherhood shed blood and delay time here at all costs, and he didn't even care about his own life, and naturally he didn't care about the lives of those white soldiers of the Han Association Army and the Security Corps.

The dense siege crowd soon spread, and the soldiers of the Christian Brotherhood were extremely fanatical under the long-term religious brainwashing, and many of them themselves had direct or indirect hatred with the Taiping army.

On the other hand, the white soldiers of the security regiment were armed with cold weapons as hand-to-hand soldiers, but they were easily defeated after the crowd of the Christian Brotherhood came up......

It's a pity that the soldiers of the Taiping Army Inspectorate in the rear did not hesitate to launch a salvo at the rout of the security regiment and the hand-to-hand combat soldiers of the Christian Brotherhood who rushed to the city, and the purpose of the soldiers of the security regiment seemed to be only to use their bodies to hinder the speed of the Christian Brotherhood siege soldiers.

The Christian Brotherhood in the attack was the main force led by Jobs himself, and the tens of thousands of soldiers were far from being comparable to the city of Grodno, where the security regiment and the Han Association army were no more than 10,000, and the Christian Brotherhood directly poured into the city.

However, when a large number of soldiers of the Christian Brotherhood attacked the city wall, several gunpowder barrels suddenly exploded at the heads of the city, and the flammable materials such as fire oil and hay prepared in advance on the city wall suddenly formed a wall of fire, and burned together with the Taiping Army Inspector Brigade, the Security Corps, the Han Association Army and a large number of Christian Brotherhood soldiers who poured up......

Jobs' eyes were gloomy as he looked at the wall of fire lit by the Taiping army on the city wall, and cursed in a low voice: "None of the Han people are normal!" ”
