Chapter 692: Soldiers Arrive in Vienna

"To let the Mongol cavalry come to Vienna is a disgrace to our Austrian Grand Duchy!"

Archduke Ferdinand of Austria led a group of Austrian Habsburg generals to fortify Vienna and demolish the houses outside the city before the Mongol cavalry arrived.

Ferdinand already knew that the Mongol cavalry had a special siege weapon, the Xiangyang cannon, and could not leave any materials outside the city for the Mongol cavalry to use to siege the city, otherwise Vienna would be lost and there would be a major earthquake in the entire west.

"My territory will decline after this great war......"

Ferdinand watched Timur's Mongol cavalry loot the supplies left behind in the villages and camps around Vienna, setting fires everywhere and doing nothing.

The great battle provoked by Attila and Temujin broke out in his territory, which made Ferdinand very uncomfortable, and whether or not Attila's offensive could be defeated, the Archduchy of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary had already suffered heavy losses.

A player nobleman from the Grand Duchy of Austria said to Ferdinand: "Under the city is Timur, the founder of the Timurid Empire, a conqueror as notorious as Attila, Temujin, and Hulegu. ”

"Timur, he is a strong enemy. None of Attila's allies were good people. ”

Ferdinand, as the Lord of the Player, knew Timur's reputation, and he was also a conqueror who feared Central and Western Asia.

There were a large number of kings and emperors in Attila's camp, and these people were all famous people, some of whom were not only in Western civilization, but also in the East and West.

"Timur is ordering the craftsmen to build counterweight trebuchets, and they really plan to attack Vienna, maybe we should go out of the city and attack and spoil Timur's intentions."

Ferdinand was frightened by the Mongol cavalry, which was preparing to attack Vienna, and could not allow Timur to complete the preparations without success.

"His Royal Highness, Timur has sent an envoy from Mongolia."

When Ferdinand was preparing for the cavalry to go out of the city and burn the Xiangyang cannon, Timur sent someone to give an ultimatum to Vienna.

The Mongol envoy who arrived was contemptuous: "Lord Timur, ask Vienna to surrender the city, he will guarantee the safety of your lives and your families." If, on the other hand, you choose to resist, the day of the capture of Vienna will also be the time of the massacre. At that time, the entire city will be in ruins, and corpses will be strewn all over the field! ”

Timur's threat was by no means unfounded, as the Mongol army had several massacres in the Persian Empire!

The nobles of the Grand Duchy of Austria were frightened by the Mongol cavalry represented by Timur, and they looked at each other.

"Go back and tell Timur that Vienna is his insurmountable barrier, and this is the wall of Europe!"

Ferdinand did not succumb to Timur's threats, and his determination was such that the other Austrian nobles did not have time to consider whether to fight Timur to the death.

Now we had to fight Timur in a decisive battle.

"Vienna is going to be a great city, and no one can cross it and attack Western Europe."

"Let Timur go home and herd the sheep, this is not for him."

The nobles of the Grand Duchy of Austria broke the jar and broke it, and since they decided to resist Timur, they could only fight Timur to the death, otherwise they would be slaughtered.

"You will regret that once we breach the city, we will slaughter it. If you really regret it, you can take his head and open the city in exchange for the safety of this city. ”

The Mongol envoys deliberately provoked mutual suspicion within the Archduchy of Austria, so they pointed directly at Ferdinand.

Ferdinand's face changed slightly.

If Vienna is really on the verge of falling, then it is really possible that this group of nobles will trade his head for their own safety.

Under the city of Vienna, Timur looked up at this city, which was a headache for many West Asian civilizations.

The Kingdom of Poland, which held back the expansion of the Tsarist Empire, and Vienna, which fended off attacks from the Balkans, were the shield of God.

Attacking Vienna, Attila's group will take the initiative on the Western Continent.

"Vienna, a city that has accumulated a great deal of wealth, will gain tens of thousands of gold and silver by breaking through this city...... I need to be crowned king by virtue of my military exploits. ”

Timur looked up at the towering city, where dozens of tall towers stood and archers were monitoring the movements of the Mongol cavalry below.

"No, the number of defenders of the walls and towers has increased, and they want to go out of the city to attack the trebuchet, and we have an ambush ......"

Timur noticed the movement of the defenders of Vienna and personally ambushed a group of cavalry.

Sure enough, Ferdinand ordered a general to lead a cavalry out of the city to attack the Mongol siege engines.

Timur personally led the cavalry in an ambush, and when the cavalry of the Austrian Grand Duchy went out of the city to attack at night, more than 1,000 Austrian cavalry were killed by Timur, and the rest of the cavalry fled and returned to the city of Vienna.

……

On the battlefield outside Vienna, Alexander was wounded in the battle with Attila, and he personally commanded his companion cavalry to assault Attila, and once killed Attila, only forty meters away from Attila!

The two kings fought, and the companion cavalry and the Shan Yu Guards were killed in the battle, which was the strongest cavalry of the two.

Alexander's Macedonian kingdom prevented Attila from advancing into the Balkans, and Attila wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible!

Attila and Sultan Xurem attacked the Macedonian kingdom and almost killed Alexander's best friend, completely angering Alexander, and the two kings, due to various conflicts of interest, became close enemies.

In the melee, Alexander personally killed dozens of cavalry who were alone in the guard, only to be wounded by Attila's arrows.

And Attila was stabbed by Alexander's fellow cavalry during the engagement.

The two evenly matched kings fought and ended with the leaders of both sides being wounded.

After a moment's hesitation when the Hunnic army was disturbed by Attila's wound, Hephaestion led his fellow cavalry to rescue Alexander.

Even though Attila's camp defeated Alexander's general Antigonus with the cavalry of the king of the field, causing the Western army to be passive, the Western army invested hundreds of generals in this battle still successfully retreated.

The offensive and defense of Vienna began, only on the outskirts, and the number of soldiers killed on both sides amounted to 100,000.

The Roman legions suffered heavy losses in the great battle, and Pompey's legions lost almost half of their strength and lost confidence.

Thankfully, no Eagle Banner fell into Attila's hands. If Attila captures our eagle banner, our Rome will be discredited, and our prestige will not be able to form a great empire. ”

Caesar was eager to establish the Roman Empire, and at the same time he was still haunted by the fall of the Roman legion's eagle banner on the Han Empire.

Since the loss of three eagle flags in the Third National War, the eagle flags of each legion have been particularly cherished, and even if they are defeated, they cannot lose even one eagle banner again.

Constantine was also counting his own losses, and one of the Roman legions suffered heavy losses.

Hohenzollern's Knights of the Sword were attacked by Temujin in this battle, and the entire Knights of the Sword lost several thousand men, and the Teutonic Knights also suffered considerable losses.

"It is said that Temujin's cowardly army has suffered heavy losses in a series of previous battles, but he did not expect that with the remnants of the cowardly Xue army, he could also inflict heavy losses on the Sword Knights. If he had possessed a complete army of cowardice, perhaps even the Teutonic Knights would have been severely damaged by Temujin......"

Hohenzollern personally asked the wounded knights of the Order of the Sword, who had been wounded in the battle with the Cowardly Army.

"The Knights of the Sword have let you down."

Albert, the head of the Order of the Sword, felt guilty for his defeat to Temujin.

Hohenzollern patted Albert on the shoulder: "Albert, Temujin is a more ferocious enemy than Attila, as long as the Knights of the Sword are not completely destroyed, then the Knights of the Sword can be reorganized in the future." ”

Hohenzollern did not reproach Albert, as long as the heroes of the Teutonic Knights could be recruited, then with the population of the Holy Roman Empire, the Knights of the Sword and the Teutonic Knights could be reorganized.

"Alexander was wounded in this battle, and the Macedonian army had to rest...... But Alexander was really crazy, and he wounded Attila in this situation and stopped the pursuit of the Huns......"

Hohenzollern thought of Alexander's assault on Attila and wounded him, and he was also jealous of Alexander.

Alexander dared to take the initiative to kill Attila with inferior cavalry, which could threaten the Holy Roman Empire in the future.

In addition to dealing with Attila and Temujin, Hohenzollern was also on guard against Alexander.

"Alexander intends to rest in Linz and use the local teleportation array to regroup his forces."

"Leaving a light cavalry to hold Attila to attack Vienna, it will take time for our forces to be assembled, and we cannot rely entirely on the teleportation array in Linz. A teleportation array can only dispatch more than 10,000 soldiers and horses a day, and we need to use the teleportation array in Bohemia and other places. ”

After a brief discussion, a group of German princes finally decided to take a break like Alexander and others.

His German Legion also suffered heavy casualties in this battle.

"Both the Macedonians and the Germans began to withdraw their troops, and it seems that they could only trust Ferdinand to hold Vienna. As long as he holds Vienna for a while, we can gather more troops to relieve the siege of Vienna. ”

The Roman triumvirate also realized that the battle with Temujin and Attila was not so simple, and their Roman troops participating in the great battle outside Vienna were only 70,000 or 80,000, and 20,000 or 30,000 were killed, which made the Roman triumvirate hold their breath.

It was also a shame for the Roman triumvirate.

The reinforcements retreated to Linz Castle upstream, using the local teleportation array to mobilize troops, and the city of Vienna became an isolated city for a short time.

If Ferdinand was unable to hold Vienna for a short time, the Austrian Archduces would have been captured by Attila and Temujin, and the barbarian coalition that annexed Austria and Hungary would have more servants.
