The main force of the Ukrainian Cossacks resisted very bravely, worthy of the slogan that the Cossacks would never surrender, and the city of Chernihiv unexpectedly resisted for a whole week!

You must know that in order to be in a hurry, the Taiping army launched the main attack every siege, the long-range cooperation of thousands of cannon fodder troops and the elite musketeers of the Taiping army, as well as the pouring of a large number of shells, even if Chernihiv is a big city and can withstand it for so long, the Ukrainian Cossack rebels are enough to be proud.

A week later, the Lithuanian militia finally seized the city from the Ukrainian Cossack rebels, who had lost most of their elite troops, and with a cheer, the heavy city gates burst open, and the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, who had long been ready, lined up in a marching column, jogging with flintlock pistols in hand.

The alleys inside the city walls were full of scattered Lithuanian militia and mercenaries, confronting the Cossack warriors and rebel soldiers who insisted on resisting, and the armed citizens of Chernihiv had long since fled......

The elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, who poured into the city of Chernihiv from the city gate, were confronted by the rebel musketeers lined up in a defensive formation......

After three rounds of fire, the elite musketeers of the Ukrainian Cossack rebels left behind thousands of corpses and fled in disarray.

The last elite unit of the Ukrainian Cossack rebel army, which was fully formed, was crushed!

However, there is nowhere to escape the leader of the Ukrainian Cossack rebel army, Ivan Hilko, who is unwilling to be tied up, and issued an order to fight to the last man in the street, the Taiping army is determined to exterminate the Ukrainian Cossack rebel army once and for all, so all the peripheral entrances and exits of Chernihiv City have set up interception troops, although the number is not large, but all are the Taiping army's elite musketeers This kind of die-hard corps is stationed, and the current crippled Ukrainian Cossack rebels are unable to break through at all.

The alleys and houses in Chernihiv became the only sustenance for Ivan Hilko's survival, and they were also the last desperate foundation of the core backbone of the remaining Ukrainian Cossack rebels.

The Taiping Army has made it clear that anyone can surrender without dying, but only the top of the Ukrainian Cossack rebels, none of them can leave alive!

This is one of the reasons why the Ukrainian Cossack rebels resisted so stubbornly.

In the battle to attack the city, the cannon fodder is the main force, but in the street battle, the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army are the main attackers, and the main barricades are all taken by the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, and the Lithuanian militia and mercenaries are only responsible for cleaning up those houses, of course, plundering and oppressing civilians.

In order to eliminate the Ukrainian Cossack rebels more quickly and reduce their own casualties, the Taiping army set fire to the city, and in the four days and three nights of street fighting, two-thirds of the Chernihiv city was burned to the ground.

Identified by the captives, the Taipings found a half-charred body of Ivan Hilko in the rubble.

After the battle, in retaliation for the resistance of the citizens of Chernihiv during the defense of the city, the Taiping army plundered the wealth of the whole city, and everyone was reduced to official slaves and female slaves.

With the fall of the city of Chernihiv and the looting, the Ukrainian Cossack rebels have become a nominal organization, although there are still peripheral soldiers of the Ukrainian Cossack rebels in the countryside, but it is no longer a climate, and those members of the Ukrainian Cossack rebels who are lucky enough to carry out tasks outside have either switched to the Ukrainian national resistance or fled from their hometowns and do not know where to go.

The Cossack rebel army, founded by Bogdan Khmelnitsky and which almost shook the foundations of the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom, has since been swept into the dust of history.

The price paid by Hong Tian was the death of thousands of elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, and the disappearance of more than 7,000 Lithuanian militia and mercenary cannon fodder.

After seeing the tragedy of the battle, many mercenaries preferred to leave early with less commission than to participate in the next battle of the Taiping army, and the offensive and defensive battles of Chernihiv were far more ferocious than the offensive and defensive battles of the cities in the Verkhov territory they had experienced before.

Whether it was the city of Smolensk or the city of Verkhov, after the city walls were breached, the defenders generally gave up resistance, and even many towns with few soldiers and generals raised white flags before the Taiping army attacked.

Chernihiv is arguably the most tragic example of a single siege.

However, the Battle of Chernihiv also greatly shocked the Ukrainian national resistance army in the Kyiv region, and completely abandoned the strategic idea of resisting the Taiping Army head-on.

After taking Chernihiv City, Hong Tiancheng finally got his wish to get the instant exchange reward, a chance to draw a lottery and 200 reputation points......

This was only obtained because Hong Tiancheng exterminated the Ukrainian Cossack rebel army, a historically famous rebel force, and other rewards were accumulated to the quest reward settlement of the King of Lithuania as usual.

That lottery opportunity Hong Tiancheng drew a thousand Ottoman Sultan soldiers, Hong Tiancheng's previous move to increase the probability of the Ottoman Sultan's soldiers winning the lottery was really not in vain, this thousand Ottoman Sultan soldiers are definitely more useful than thousands of town militias, at least, plus this thousand Ottoman Sultan soldiers, the order of the Kiev region does not need Hong Tiancheng to leave additional elite musketeers of the Taiping Army.

Unlike the newly conquered Smolensk and Verkhov territories conquered by Hong Tiancheng, the Kyiv region has long been cleaned up due to repeated battles between the enemy and us, and the young and strong population has either joined the national resistance army and fled for refuge, or was 'mistakenly wounded' and slaughtered by enemy and enemy soldiers.

Except for the city of Kiev, which has not been breached, the Kyiv region can be described as uninhabited for thousands of miles......

Therefore, if you want to restore the rule of the Kiev region, you can't rely on the power of the locals, and the security people will naturally shrink significantly, and the addition of 1,000 Ottoman Sultan's personal soldiers can undoubtedly greatly increase the dominance of the city of Kiev.

After the Battle of Chernihiv, the main force of the Taiping Army divided several partial divisions and swept the land left behind after the withdrawal of the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force.

It didn't take long for the main force of the Taiping Army to break the siege of Kiev handed over by the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force to the Ukrainian National Resistance Army, and the siege of Kiev was officially lifted, and the serf army of the Ukrainian National Resistance Army was defeated faster than expected!
