096 Plan Changes
[Ding, the host's army has actually occupied Lutsk City, and now the fixed reward is calculated:
1. Gain 5,000 Sins Points.
2. A chance to draw a lottery. 】
"Winning a large city with a fixed sin value of 5,000 points, plus a lottery to win a serious town with a population of more than 1,000 sin points 1,000 points, this prestige task of capturing Krakow City seems difficult, and with this kind of help, it may not be nothing."
Hong Tiancheng looked at his deposit of 7,000 sin points, and his heart was once again full of confidence.
Since there was no need to fulfill the promise of the Ottoman light shield soldiers who had been completely wiped out to wash the city, Hong Tiancheng chose the normal way of occupation, so that he could accept the inheritance of Lutsk City to the greatest extent and retain the population of Lutsk City.
Anyway, under the Taiping Army's holy treasury system, the private property of the Poles in Lutsk City would sooner or later enter Hong Tiancheng's warehouse, and whether or not to wash the city was of little significance to Hong Tiancheng.
It's just that washing the city can give the besieging soldiers more personal gains and boost morale.
Fortunately, the remaining Swedish musket mercenaries can maintain morale as long as they have money, while the musketeers of the 3,000 Ming Army Shenji Battalion are the same die-hard army as the Taiping Army, and they do not need to supplement their morale.
As for those Lithuanian Tatar cavalry archers, when they ambushed and plundered the convoy of Lutsk nobles who fled from the city, they slaughtered an unknown number of fat sheep, and their morale was full of ruthlessness......
The reason why Hong Tiancheng did not immediately cash out the 7,000 sin value was mainly because his army had expanded too much, and the daily consumption of grain and grass materials was not a small amount, since there was no shortage of troops now, he was naturally unwilling to add thousands of more mouths.
Anyway, recruiting soldiers can be exchanged immediately as long as they find an open space where there are no outsiders, and it is not too late to recruit them when they are needed before the war.
"The number of soldiers recruited by the sin value is limited, but this lottery is full of unknowns, it is better to exchange it in advance, it just so happens that now I have taken Lutsk City, let's hold a grand Taiping Doctrine propaganda ceremony here."
After Hong Tiancheng entered the city, he immediately used the lottery opportunity, and immediately, a class of troops that Hong Tiancheng had never seen before appeared in his memory.
[Crimean Irregular Army: An experimental army of the Crimean Khanate for the use of firearms, which had to be named the Irregular Army due to strong opposition from the Crimean Khanate's traditional regular army (an army led by Tatar nobles who used cold weapons and mounted bows and arrows......
The ridiculous name of the irregular army did not affect the importance that the Crimean Khanate attached to this firearm, and any ruler with a normal human IQ could see the great power of firearms on the battlefield, and although the Khan of the Crimean Khanate was powerless against the traditional Tatar aristocracy, it did not mean that he did not want to make his position more secure.
The irregular army of the Crimean Khanate, with the full support of the Khan, was fully equipped with expensive chain mail and was armed with smoothbore arquebuses purchased from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which were more accurate than traditional arquebuses, had a lower rate of mute fire, and were known as the best quality arquebuses.
Of course, in addition to firearms, the Crimean irregulars also have the nomadic tradition of infantry with steel scimitars for melee combat, because the Crimean Khanate attaches great importance to the military concept of hand-to-hand combat, especially the training of the irregulars in close combat, so every Crimean irregular army soldier is a good hand-to-hand combat.
The good training and excellent rationing of weapons of the Crimean irregular army have become similar to the existence of the Crimean Khan's infantry guards, although they are called irregulars, but they are actually the Janissary Guards musketeers of the Crimean Khanate, and naturally, they are also the main force of the Crimean Khanate's foreign wars.
They are poured into the subconscious of the final host, and you are a loyal khan in their eyes, and they are willing to fight for you, except that you need to regularly feed them according to the salary of the Crimean irregular army, which belongs to the standing army system, with a total of 1,000 people.
Friendly reminder: The armor banner of this Crimean irregular army is no different from the same army of the Crimean Khanate in this era. 】
"Irregular Army...... The Crimean Khanate is really behind this era, and even a unit that uses firearms has to use the name of an irregular army! Hong Tiancheng complained speechlessly.
"However, these 1,000 Crimean irregulars are no different from the current Crimean Khanate's army banner equipment, but it can save me a lot of trouble."
After Hong Tiancheng saw that friendly prompt, he couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes.
He remembered very well that the Crimean Khanate and Khmelnitsky were allies on the surface!
Hong Tiancheng dared to seize the city of Kiev with 500 people, and at this time there were 1,000 more Crimean irregular troops, so he was naturally full of confidence!
These people are all professional soldiers, and they are not much stronger than most of the troops in this era that are filled with young and strong militia.
Because Hong Tiancheng had a different mind about the Crimean irregulars, the religious ceremony in the city of Lutsk was not held, and the 1,000 people were secretly cashed out by Hong Tiancheng outside the city, and a tight forbidden area was set up outside the barracks to prevent the locals from prying eyes.
Hong Tiancheng's approach did not arouse the doubts of the Poles, the military camp in this era was originally a forbidden area, if ordinary people accidentally broke into the barracks, they were severely beaten, and if they encountered that kind of foreign troops, it was not uncommon to be tortured and killed to death.
Human life was nothing at all in the 17th century, of course, human life here refers to ordinary people, and the heads of nobles are still relatively valuable, in the true sense of the word, because noble captives can be exchanged for ransom!
After the capture of Lutsk, Hong Tiancheng did not stay long, the purge of Lutsk City and the implementation of the system of the Holy Treasury were handed over to the Taiping Army Brigade Commander and Kryshtov under his command, and he himself went to support Khmelnitsky, an 'ally', with a huge amount of reinforcements.
Hong Tiancheng led the remaining more than 800 Swedish musket mercenaries, 3,000 musketeers of the Da Ming Shen Machine Battalion, 500 Lithuanian Tatar cavalry marksmen, and the 500-strong Taiping Army personal guard battalion.
The remaining 5 battalions of elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, two were guarded in Zhytomyr City, and three were stationed in Lutsk City, and in addition to the Taiping Army headquarters, there were more than 1,000 armed Polish Taiping Christians led by the great Polish traitor Krysztof in Lutsk.
In addition to the troops on the surface, the reinforcements led by Hong Tiancheng included more than 1,000 Polish slaves who served as servants of the army, and 1,000 Crimean irregular troops who divided their troops.
Under Hong Tiancheng's instructions, the 1,000 Crimean irregular troops concealed their whereabouts as much as possible, rushed dozens of miles in front of the main force led by Hong Tiancheng, and 'reinforced' in the direction of Kiev.
