"Your Majesty the Tsar, great news, the main force of the reckless tyrant Hong Tiancheng's attack on the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania has been mired in war, Hong Tiancheng has gone against the grain, implemented a cruel and inhumane three-light policy in the Polish occupation area, and wantonly slaughtered local civilians who were unwilling to convert, which has provoked a popular uprising, and the offensive momentum of the main force of the Taiping Army that entered the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania has stalled."

Andrei Khovansky, commander of the Moscow Janissary Guard, who was in charge of intelligence in the Russian Empire, reported to Tsar Alexei with a beaming face.

"What's the reaction of the Polish's council of the Som?"

The Russian Tsar asked with a blank face.

"The Polish government has exposed the crimes of the Taiping Army, and has vigorously advocated that the whole people should join the war, join the Great Patriotic War, and defend their homeland, the last elite Polish hussar regiment of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania and a large number of newly formed standing armies have blocked the communication arteries of the Taiping Army's march to the Przemyš line, and every day there are newly formed infantry battalions rushing there, this time the Poles are desperate, I heard that they have borrowed heavily from the Jewish merchants, using the state tax revenue for the next ten years as collateral!"

"Hehe, ten years of taxes? Those treacherous Jews are not fools, now that more than two-thirds of the territory of the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania has been lost, the Jews are willing to make this loss-making business? ”

Andrei subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is the shadow of the Vatican behind the Jews, and the Habsburgs seem to be unable to sit still, and now the Ottoman Turkish Empire is not as good as a year, and the Habsburgs don't want their good neighbors to be ousted from the stage of Eastern Europe."

If it weren't for the fact that the main forces of the Habsburg Dynasty were still pursuing the Ottoman Turkish Empire, I am afraid that they would have declared war on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom long ago. ”

"Haha~" Alexei Tsar smiled heartily: "Yes, this is indeed good news worth celebrating, the time is ripe, the expeditionary force led by Karl X of the Kingdom of Sweden is a little impatient, just send the news from Jobs." ”

"Your Majesty, I just received the messenger sent by Jobs this morning, and he has agreed to our plan, as long as our army moves, Jobs will lead the army and Karl X to attack the Lithuanian region controlled by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from the north and west, and Jobs also agreed with Karl X that the city of Vilno will be divided, and whoever enters the city will have the sovereignty of Vilno."

"Very good, let's convene a Duma meeting, it's time to make that arrogant Han bastard Hong Tiancheng pay!"

Tsar Alexei ordered categorically.

Hung Tien Cheng's plan to lure was undoubtedly successful, and it was more successful than expected, and in the early summer of 1654, several elite regiments of the Russian Empire entrenched in Moscow crossed the nominal border line almost simultaneously and launched an overwhelming attack on the guarded defensive positions of the Taipings.

At the same time, the Smolensk and Verkhov regions were put on red alert, and the Russian Imperial Army divided into three routes, with several militia forces in each elite regiment, under the slogan of subduing the lost territory, launched an all-out attack on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Less than a month after the Russian Empire launched its offensive, King Karl X of Sweden, in the name of the Christian Crusaders, personally led tens of thousands of troops from the Livonia region to the Polotsk region, beating the local garrison of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with heavy losses, and in less than a month, the Polotsk region was 'recovered'!

On the other hand, the Russian Empire, which outnumbered the elite and cannon fodder of the Swedish Legion, was stuck in the Smolensk and Verkhov regions with the Guards Corps led by two infantry divisions of the Taiping Army, and was caught in a long war of attrition.

On average, the Russians did not even get a mile in front of each week, which was in stark contrast to the overwhelming strength of the Swedish legion.

However, compared to the all-out attack of the Kingdom of Sweden and the Russian Empire, Jobs only sent the peripheral militia regiments of the Christian Brotherhood to attack, and the local garrisons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were fighting fiercely, but the intensity of the battle was like a playhouse, and there were not many deaths at all.

The Christian Brotherhood is not so much attacking as Jobs' training, and one after another militia groups on the periphery of the Christian Brotherhood are pulled up for training and then rotated, so that these mud-legged armed forces who have never seen a battle scene have been truly sharpened.

It's a pity that the progress of Jobs' side is minimal, and it has a fight with the Russian army......

This was mainly due to the fact that after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom commander of Vilno City saw the weak intensity of the Christian Brotherhood's attack, he sent a large number of local garrisons to the west to cooperate with the Vilno Guard Regiment to drive to the Polotsk region to resist the attack of the Swedish legion.

The attacking Swedish legion was all elite, with a uniform indigo modern uniform, all equipped with flintlock muskets, but without bayonets, and retained the formation of pikemen.

The local garrisons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which were both hot and cold, were vulnerable in front of the Swedish legions, and even if they relied on the city defenses to hold on, it was difficult to block their offensive.

Hit from three sides, the Russian army was undoubtedly the strongest, both in terms of the number of elites and the number of cannon fodder, far exceeding the others, not to mention the besieged Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The Russian army was the strongest, and it was also the most eager to defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and this time it mobilized ninety percent of the elite aristocratic cavalry and all the shooting corps in the Russian Empire, and even the Moscow Janissaries, which were the foundation, were sent up.

It's a pity that under the insistence of the infantry divisions of the Taiping Army, which are not afraid of death, every inch of land and every inch of blood, the elite of the Russian army still cannot achieve a decisive victory with a casualty ratio of three to one!

As for those cannon fodder regiments, they were more used to consume the ammunition reserves of the infantry of the Taiping Army......

The whole three months of bloody fighting shook the entire Eastern European continent, and thousands of people were killed and wounded almost every day on the battlefield between the Russian army and the Taiping army, even if the Russian army broke through the city wall, every house would make the Russian soldiers shed blood.

There was even a refusal of the Russian militia regiment to participate in the war on the battlefield, and there were large-scale desertions!

Because the death rate on the battlefield is too high!

Fortunately, the Russian army has an absolute superiority in strength, and those elite corps are also very brave in order to continue to maintain the offensive.

On the other hand, the two line infantry divisions of the Taiping Army finally became a line infantry division, the number of which was less than the number, and still maintained strong combat effectiveness, which surprised the Russian commander.

After three months of bloody fighting, both the Taiping army and the Russian army suffered heavy casualties, and finally withstood the overwhelming offensive of the Russian army and stabilized the battle line.
