208 Floating Grass

"Returning to His Majesty the Heavenly King, there are less than 10,000 soldiers in the Polotsk aristocratic coalition army that can really go to the front line to fight, and it is full of a large number of mercenaries and militia forces, both in quantity and quality are far inferior to the main force of our army, as long as we can launch an attack before the other side withdraws, our army will win!

It's just that, in that case, the last elite of the Christian Brotherhood will definitely take the opportunity to escape from the pursuit of our army, and it is even very likely that the trace of the Christian Brotherhood Protector will be temporarily lost. ”

Xue Taishen said solemnly.

"So, after defeating the main forces of the coalition army of the Polotsk nobles, can our army quickly take the city of Polotsk and actually occupy the territory of Polotsk?"

"According to the information and the recent performance of the Polotsk aristocratic coalition army, they do not know the location of the main force of our army, they gather the army more to prevent the Christian Brotherhood Protector Guard who entered the Polotsk territory in advance, with the military quality and action of the main force of our army, it is completely possible to approach the other party before the Polotsk aristocratic coalition army is discovered, and the living force of the Polotsk aristocratic coalition army will be eliminated as much as possible, and at that time, the garrison of Polotsk City will be reduced to the greatest extent, and it will not be able to resist the attack of the main force of our army.

After taking the city of Polotsk, there are no more big cities in the Polotsk territory with a perfect city defense system, as long as the lords and nobles of Polotsk do not want to die at the guns of the kingdom of heaven, I believe they will make a clear choice.

The success rate of the main forces of our army sweeping the entire Polotsk territory is more than eighty percent! ”

Xue Taishen said confidently, she is undoubtedly one of the people who knows the most about the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army, even if the Polotsk aristocratic coalition army does not gather and be wiped out, it will not be able to stop the invasion of the Taiping Army, let alone the situation where the main force is destroyed?

The only thing the Taiping army has to worry about is the problem of war time, once the Polotsk noble lords are divided into pieces and fight guerrilla attacks with the Taiping army, using the city defense and terrain to consume the Taiping army layer by layer, it will inevitably delay the war, and it will also increase the losses of the Taiping army.

This is the biggest reason why the main forces of the Taiping army have not advanced into the Polotsk territory.

Don't look at the Kingdom of Sweden and the small countries in the north did not send troops, but their containment force was real, so that the Taiping army could not open up to attack on the other side.

Unexpectedly, the Christian Brotherhood directly put all the information of the main force of the Polotsk aristocratic coalition in front of Hong Tiancheng, the Polotsk aristocratic coalition did not really regard the Christian Brotherhood as an enemy, and the Christian Brotherhood took the rebellious route of the people at the bottom, as long as it was a white civilian who believed in Christianity, most of the people in the Polotsk territory believed in Christianity, so it was not difficult for the Christian Brotherhood to get the military intelligence of the Polotsk aristocratic coalition army.

On the other hand, due to the limitations of identity, race, and development time, it is difficult for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Jinyi Guard to infiltrate the territory of Polotsk, let alone go deep into the camp of the Polotsk noble coalition......

"There are only a few thousand people left in the Christian Brotherhood, and they have lost their base and become outlaws, there is no need to worry, expanding the territory and eliminating the enemy of Polotsk is the primary goal, and now such a good opportunity is in front of us, we have no reason to give up, the Christian Brotherhood is not recognized by the upper class nobles of Eastern Europe, it doesn't matter if they live for a while longer, today's Europe is still the Europe of the aristocratic monarchs after all."

Hong Tiancheng ordered flatly, of course, there is one most important reason he didn't say, expanding the territory can add points to the all-out war system, and you can get more generous rewards!

According to the achievements of the Taiping Army in the recent period, the phased rewards of the all-out war system are almost approaching, and with the entry of the land of Polotsk, the military strength of the Taiping Army is likely to rise to a new level.

As long as the strength can continue to expand, the remaining problems are nothing to Hong Tiancheng, and the problems that can be solved by war are never difficult for Hong Tiancheng!

"Oh yes, after our army annihilated the main force of the Polotsk noble coalition, it was time for the Livonian Kotler to move, we gave him so much support, and now we have pulled up thousands of men and horses, let him touch with the great noble coalition of Livonia, the two battalions we put there can cooperate with him.

In any case, Livonia must cause chaos for me, and I don't want war to ignite on the northern borders of the kingdom of heaven while our army expands its territory! ”

Hong Tiancheng stated with a serious face.

After taking Polotsk, the Livonia region would become the back barrier of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and neither the Kingdom of Sweden nor the clamoring Duchy of Prussia Brandenburg could safely send troops into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself, because they could not sit on the danger of their back being cut off by the Taiping Army in the Livonia region.

To put it simply, as long as the Knights of the Holy Sword supported by the Taiping Army maintain a strategic advantage in the Livonian region, they can ensure the security of the northern border of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and if they can completely defeat the native nobles of Livonia, then they can basically cut off the direct invasion of the Kingdom of Sweden and the Prussian Brandenburg army.

When the time came, it would be enough for the Taiping army to deal with the armies of the Russian Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom with all their might.

It can be said that the location of Livonia is still very important for the significance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Due to the limitation of the temporary prestige task of the all-out war system, Hong Tiancheng's short-term strategic goal is to develop from west to south, therefore, there is no demand for the territory in the north, Hong Tiancheng is not expanding for the sake of expanding the territory, his main purpose is to complete as many tasks as possible of the all-out war system, and obtain more military support to expand the strength.

Now, the basic conditions of the temporary prestige task of the king of Lithuania have been completed, and the remaining occupied territories are additional reward commissions, in which the all-out war system will be evaluated according to Hong Tiancheng's achievements, and then given phased rewards, in other words, as long as the main force of the Taiping Army is expanding in the territory of the traditional Kingdom of Lithuania, you can continue to enhance the mission rewards!

The Polotsk Territory is also considered to be the territory of the peak of the traditional Lithuanian kingdom, and it is naturally counted in the mission rewards, which is one of the reasons why Hong Tiancheng happily swallowed the 'bait' given by the Christian Brotherhood.

If the Christian Brotherhood can continue to give Hong Tiancheng this kind of 'gift package', he doesn't mind letting the Christian Brotherhood survive for a longer period of time, in the face of rights and interests, hatred or something is just a floating water.
