Kiev City was first established in Kievan Rus' at the beginning of the 9th century, is the first Russian nation to establish the country, now developed and built for hundreds of years, has long become an important political and economic center, surrounded by rich land, good water and rich coal resources, therefore, Kiev City covers a huge area, the main force of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom besieging Kiev City after the division of troops, can no longer be able to form a dense blockade line, can only set up a camp outside the Kiev city wall in four directions.

Of course, the besieged Polish army was insufficient, and the losses of the Cossack rebels in the city of Kyiv were not small, and no one could help anyone.

In the early morning of late 1648, when the temperature had begun to drop considerably, Polish sentries in thick cotton robes stood on the watchtowers yawning boredly.

However, just when the Polish sentry thought that this day was the same as before, looking at the scenery, eating some black bread with teeth, and cursing a few words of rebellious Cossacks, a dense black line suddenly appeared on the edge of the heights in the distance!

"Oh! My God, those damned scouts! The sound of gongs sounded in the barracks, and many of the Polish soldiers who came out of the tents were still sleepy-eyed, wearing armor and taking up weapons, and rushed to the assembly point under the urging of the officers.

The black line did not mean to attack the fortified line, but to advance in the direction of the gates of Kyiv, and it was clear that they did not intend to annihilate the besieging Polish army, or that they were not strong enough to support them.

Of course, the besieging Polish army did not want such a well-equipped regular army to appear in Kyiv out of thin air, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of capturing Kyiv.

At the head of the city of Kiev, a middle-aged man wrapped in a black Turkish robe said respectfully to Khmelnitsky, who was dressed in a military suit and covered with weather, and said: "Great Cossack leader, my master's army has appeared outside the city as agreed, and the sincerity of our Crimean Khanate is enough." ”

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Khmelnitsky put down his monoculars and replied in a cordial tone: "Yes, it is the army of the Crimean Khanate, or the irregular army of Lord Khan, it seems that we have all misunderstood Lord Khan of the Crimean Khanate before, and the Khan will always be a loyal ally of our Cossacks!" ”

The middle-aged man wrapped in a black robe smiled and explained: "What you did before was not what the khan meant, and you also know that in the Crimean Khanate, those Mongol descendants who sit in the shadow of their ancestors have always interfered in the affairs of the khanate, and we khans have to have some scruples about many things."

Therefore, our khan could only send a thousand irregular army guards, unable to send the main force, and many people in the khanate had a very unfriendly impression of the head of Khmelnitsky. ”

"Well, I know this, I am grateful to have these thousand people, and with your help, King Jan Kazimierz Vasa, who was constrained by the Council of Sem, in the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, will never think of taking the city of Kyiv again!"

"Chief Khmelnitsky, is it time for you to send reinforcements? Our 1,000 soldiers alone could not break through the Polish interception. ”

"Haha, that's nature!"

Under the order of Khmelnitsky, the gates of Kiev suddenly opened, and the Cossack cavalry, which had been prepared for a long time, roared, and under the leadership of the Zaporozhye Cossack officers, they flanked the Polish soldiers who came out of the camp.

This cavalry was also the entire cavalry of the Cossack rebels in Kiev.

When the Cossack cavalry left the city, the Crimean irregulars outside had already engaged in fire with the Polish soldiers, and the muskets of both sides were firing back and forth, and the exchange of fire was 100 meters away, and the casualties were not serious.

But when the Cossack cavalry swept in, the commander of the Crimean irregulars decisively gave the order to charge, and after all the Crimean irregulars wearing chain mail and flat-topped helmets loaded their ammunition, they marched forward in unison and jogged, and when they approached more than 50 meters, they suddenly stopped at the order of the officer and fired a round of guns in front of them, and after firing the only bullet in the gun, they immediately pulled out their scimitars and launched a hand-to-hand sprint!

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Cossack cavalry on the other side burst into the battlefield from the flank, killing the flank of the Polish army formation to the point of crying dad and mother, and the entire Polish interception army collapsed and collapsed in an instant!

The Crimean irregulars and Cossack cavalry coordinated with each other to cover up the defeated Polish soldiers, and did not stop until they were out of effective range of the opposing fortified lines.

The perimeter of the camp established by the Polish soldiers is full of wooden piles, and the rear is a wooden wall several meters high, and there is a shooting tower on the wooden wall at intervals, and it is not possible to complete the storm in a short time, and this is only one of the four camps of the Polish army besieging the city of Kiev.

The Cossacks had no intention of attacking the Polish camp, they cherished every existing warrior brother, and did not want to consume it here, and the Crimean irregular army was even more bent on entering the city, so naturally they would not attack the Polish camp, and of course, after the two dispersed the Polish intercepted troops, they entered the city of Kiev together like 'brothers'.

The victory of a combat cooperation created a good first impression between the Cossack warriors and the Crimean irregulars, many of whom regarded the Crimean irregulars who fought side by side as friends.

The courage of the Crimean irregulars to charge in the face of the Polish army's musket salvo was recognized by the Cossack warriors!

Although the leader of Khmelnitsky had doubts about this sudden reinforcement of the Crimean Khanate, the other side annihilated the Polish soldiers in front of him with real swords and guns, and the Cossack cavalry fought a victory, which dissipated a lot of doubts in Khmelnitsky's heart.

He didn't think that the Poles were willing to use the battle damage of thousands of soldiers as bait, not to mention that there were less than a thousand soldiers, and there were no big waves in the city of Kyiv.

The Khmelnitsky chieftain was confident in the fighting power and will to fight of the Cossack warriors.

Since the Khmelnytsky uprising, most of the battles he has fought have been won with fewer troops than the Poles, and the Cossacks are famous for their courageous morale throughout Eastern Europe!

Khmelnitsky watched the irregular army under the banner of the Crimean Khanate slowly enter the city, and cautiously instructed Colonel Bogon: "You take people to watch this group of Crimean troops, don't cause conflicts, but don't let them mess around in the city at will!" ”
