199 Deliberate consumption
The shouts of killing all over the sky have advanced to the top of the main city of Kiev. The two groups of soldiers who were dressed differently but also had a white face fought in a group of people all over the city.
The reason why siege battles are more bloody than field battles is that in siege battles, the attacking party cannot form any tactical array at all, and can only rely on bravery to climb and fight. After the defenders are caught by the attacking party, it is difficult for them to gather tight formation defense.
However, these white people who look no different in the eyes of the Han people are clearly distinguished in their own eyes.
The white people in the Han army mainly came from Germany, France, the Pyrenees Peninsula and Poland, and generally discriminated against the Cossacks.
So they never regarded the Cossacks in front of them as their own, and they were so cruel and ruthless when they killed them.
Under the guidance of the deceptive thought of defending the country, the Cossacks on the opposite side also fought bravely. Of course, the most important thing is that there are thousands of gray Russian animals behind them as the supervisor team. Until now, more than three-digit Cossack soldiers have fallen under the bullets of the Russian supervisor team.
The gray animals in Tsarist Russia were generally equipped with eliminated clamps, most of which were clamps that had been equipped by the Tsarist Russian shooting army, and the quality was still usable.
Apart from that, there are only ordinary spears, battle axes, and nails.
He doesn't even have a uniform military uniform on his body, only a cheap gray linen robe, which is also the reason why he is called a gray animal.
Of course, in the official statement of the Tsarist Russian Empire, these cheap gray linen robes were their military uniforms.
Even so, the equipment of these gray Russian animals was stronger than that of Cossack warriors.
At least, the Cossacks could not have a grenade gun in their hands.
During the offensive and defensive battle, the Cossacks' scimitar suffered a lot in front of the white Han soldiers who were generally equipped with iron armor. This is also the fundamental reason why all the fortifications around Kiev were lost in less than half a month.
The artillery is weak and cannot be defeated by hand-to-hand combat. The opponent has a large number of complete siege equipment. No matter how you look at the fall of Kiev City, it has become an inevitable event.
However, none of the orders issued in the Moscow Palace were about retreating, and they were all about resisting to the end.
The so-called reinforcements are small groups of temporary armed refugee soldiers and subsequent forced recruitment of Cossacks.
These reinforcements could not even get close to the Kiev War Zone, so they were swept away by the Han army's cavalry...
In fact, these reinforcements were all picked up by the Tsarist Russian Empire from the Cossack tribes and refugee waves.
Rather than saying it is for support, it is better to say that it is to kill someone with a knife.
In the eyes of the Russians, the more young and strong the Cossacks remained, the more Cossack warriors they would surrender to the arms of the Han Empire after the fall of Kiev. This is naturally not in line with the interests of the Moscow regime.
Therefore, I might as well take this opportunity to continue to devote myself to the battlefield and let all the Han army kill them.
In this way, it can not only increase the hatred between the Cossacks and the Han Empire, but also eliminate the war potential of the Cossacks.
Kiev was regarded as a meat grinder for the extermination of alien races by the Tsarist Russian Empire. As for the real Russian army, Ekaterina was reluctant to invest in this territory that would inevitably be lost.
After all, Ukraine is not the traditional territory of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the rule of the Tsarist Russian Empire here has no legal basis.
The legal basis seems to be easily smashed by the iron fist of the dictatorship, but if you encounter a strong enemy with a strong momentum, the legal basis will become important.
Having a legal basis is equivalent to being able to easily gain support from local people. The war will turn into a just war against invasion. Even if all men are armed, it will still be tenable!
Ye Katerina of the Tsarist Russian Empire never thought that the national strength of the Tsarist Russian Empire was stronger than that of the Great Han Empire. She had to use all the power she could win against the Great Han Empire.
Not only the Kiev region, but also the Slen Moscow region that the Tsarist Russian Empire had just occupied, the Tsarist Russian Empire was ready to give up.
Because the people in the Moscow area of Slen do not agree that they are Russians, this is not a distinction between nations, but a thinking inertia brought about by the rule of Poland and Lithuanian Federation for a long time, which is the so-called public opinion.
This kind of public opinion is nothing in peacetime. When will the power politics need to be recognized by the people?
If you dare to rebel, you will cut off a group of heads and see who else dares to rebel.
But during war times, public opinion is crucial. Without the support of public opinion, even if the people are in a neutral state, it is difficult to help the occupiers resist the invaders.
This is extremely unfavorable under the general trend of strong enemies and weak people.
The absolute military strength was not comparable, so the Tsarist Russian Empire could only find ways from other places.
You can't really admit defeat.
Even if you admit defeat, you have to play the trump card in your hand and take a look.
Compared with the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Tsarist Russian Empire was more barbaric and warlike, and its unyielding personality was deeper.
If you want the Russians to surrender, you will be completely defeated, rather than just like the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth, a civil strife will cause a large group of nobles to lose confidence in the country, and they will rush to surrender to their new masters.
The Cossacks on the defensive side paid a casualty of almost the same as the offensive rank before they could fight back this wave of offensives, which was unimaginable in the usual siege battles.
Generally speaking, in the siege battle in the cold weapon era, the defense team won a 1-10 loss ratio. Even if the attacking team had more than ten times the force of troops, it was unknown whether they could win!
In the current Kiev siege, the Cossacks played a nearly 1-to-1 loss ratio!
This only shows that when the siege party climbed the city, they killed much more defenders than they did!
After all, when the siege approached the city wall, many people had already fallen down.
Xiao Yunyang, holding a monocular telescope in his hand, did not order the German mercenaries' artillery to bombard him from beginning to end.
The reason given was that the shells were insufficient. In fact, Xiao Yunyang was deliberately consuming the lives of the white soldiers under his command and giving the defenders greater hope, thus erupting with a higher proportion of fighting spirit and providing Xiao Yunyang with a fighting spirit.
Xiao Yunyang's gains are undoubtedly huge. In less than half a month, his total number of war souls has soared to more than 12,000!
You should know that in the previous offensive and defensive battles between the military fortresses, the Han army used a large number of old-fashioned mortars from the Poles to seize the Poles, and they were fighting devastating battles on the defense, and they could not obtain the soul of the war.
More than 90% of the new battle souls were obtained in the offensive and defensive battles in the main city of Kiev.
