236 Rewards for a division
"General Menderov, please forgive me for saying that as long as the commander of the Taiping Army is not a fool, it is impossible to use the precious elite to ram our fortifications, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will turn into a war of attrition with a long confrontation, and we will send a large number of miscellaneous militia groups to intercept the Taiping army reinforcements, the progress of the siege of Kyiv City will inevitably not be able to continue, and if the Taiping army reinforcements are not wiped out for a day, we will not be able to conquer the city of Kyiv for a day, so if it continues to be consumed, is it really beneficial to the imperial expeditionary force?"
After hearing this, General Menderov smiled contemptuously and said: "Hehe, what do you think of the reputation of the Taiping Army in the Kiev region?" Perhaps, some Kievians think that the empire is an invader, but in this land, more than ninety percent of the natives will not support the rule of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or even hostile to them, and everyone has not forgotten how many people were killed when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was just established in the Kyiv region.
The Kyiv city defense army in Kyiv that confronted us was only forced by the Taiping army at gunpoint and led by the traitors led by Krysztov, but the locals outside Kyiv had no scruples at all, as long as the imperial expeditionary force told a beautiful lie, turned us into liberators, and gave the locals some negligible weapons funding, they could pull up a group of guerrillas to harass the logistics of the Taiping reinforcements.
The Taiping Army reinforcements from afar are unpopular, and if the logistics roads are not smooth, they can only be supplied on the spot, and when the time comes, it will cause more disgust among the locals, and will force more avengers who have been robbed of their rations and their families killed to join the guerrillas.
As far as I know, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not only fighting here, but also investing a lot of troops and financial resources in the Smolensk region, which means that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not have many reinforcements to support the Kiev region.
On the other hand, the empire is undergoing a nationwide mobilization and conscription, and the longer it passes, the more recruits will come out of the training camp to join the army, and in this war of attrition, our Great Russian Empire will surely go to victory! ”
"But how do we create the identity of liberators?" A noble general questioned.
"The leaders and backbones of the Ukrainian Cossack rebels have been well protected by our people, we can promise them that the Ukrainians will establish an independent state, or the Cossacks will also establish a state, in short, as long as the battle of Kiev is won, this is their new homeland, the Ukrainian nation is the main ethnic group in the Kyiv region, the Cossacks are brave and good at fighting, with the support of these people, the source of the partisans is definitely not a problem, these Ukrainian Cossacks may be amateurish and ruthless in frontal combat, but they are cameo raiders to harass operations, But what about the old business. ”
"General Menderov, the Sari, who unified the Cossack tribes in the lower reaches of the Dnieper, has always bought the account of the empire, and his power is getting stronger and stronger, and it will not become a stumbling block for us over time."
"That Sarri is just a careerist, he is now busy building a Cossack United Emirate, he doesn't want to cooperate with us, don't worry about him, our thousands of noble cavalry are here, Sari he doesn't dare to act rashly."
General Menderov replied coldly, apparently, his people had eaten a lot of closed door soup with Surrey.
While the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force was discussing how to deal with the Taiping reinforcements, Hong Tiancheng, who was sitting in Vilno, the capital of Lithuania, received a hint from the all-out war system of the ambush war.
[Congratulations to the host for once again achieving a brilliant victory with weak forces, systematically annihilating thousands of Polish hussar corps in the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom, causing the main Polish corps to retreat and abandon the Battle of Kiev.
At the same time, he crushed the fighting faith of the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force's Shooting Corps, making it unable to face the Taiping Army's reinforcements for a short period of time, and received a total of 100 reputation points.
Does the host plan to claim the sin reward right away or will it accumulate until the King of Lithuania quest is over and claim it together? 】
The reputation reward is the overall influence of the region after the battle is won, and the sin value is calculated based on the number of enemies killed after the battle is won.
Xiang Dongqiang killed at least more than 20,000 enemy soldiers in that ambush decisive battle, except for the Polish hussars, most of them were the results of the pursuit after the defeat and the corpses killed when they lined up to shoot.
Hong Tiancheng only received the all-out war system prompt sound after receiving the front-line battle report, so he knew very well how much Xiang Dongqiang's troops had lost in this battle with great disparity between the enemy and us!
The main division of the Taiping Army of 5 regiments, after the end of the battle, only three missing infantry regiments remained, and the infantry regiment that shot at the shooting army suffered more than eighty percent of the battle losses, and the establishment was revoked, and the first infantry regiment against the Polish hussars died to the point that there were only a few dozen people left, and naturally there was no need to maintain the establishment, and the remaining three infantry regiments were also very short, and finally they were merged and reorganized into two infantry regiments by Xiangdongqiang, and the combined infantry regiments were mainly to make up for the battle losses of officers.
Since the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army are all trained in a 'mold', the combination of troops will not affect the combat effectiveness run-in.
The remaining two regiments of the Taiping Army, and more than 1,000 Lithuanian auxiliaries, but they had to face the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force, which was far more numerous than their own, and although the siege of Kiev was resolved, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
However, the Russians are not in a hurry, but Hong Tiancheng is in a hurry!
After launching a full-scale war with the Russian Empire, it has effectively contained the overwhelming Taiping offensive in the Smolensk region, from the beginning of the easy forced surrender of the city, to the current bloody battle for one city and one pool, so that the speed of the Taiping army's offensive has been greatly reduced, Hong Tiancheng found that his heavenly kingdom has fallen into the point of overstretched troops.
The local Swedish town militia and the Polish musketeers in the hands of the sicklemen could not be transferred to maintain the rule of the kingdom of heaven, and with their combat effectiveness, they would be similar in combat effectiveness to the enemy's militia regiments, and the gains outweighed the losses.
So......
"I choose to cash in on the guilt of this battle now!"
[Congratulations to the host, you got 25,000 sin points, this battle is a field battle all the way, so there is no chance to draw a lottery, and the full amount is rewarded for sin points!] 】
"Haha, another elite supplement of a division, sure enough, war is my best 'tonic'!"
