Chapter 688: Temujin and Alexander

In the city of Vienna, Lord Ferdinand gathered more than 100,000 militiamen to defend the city of Vienna, intending to resist the troops of Attila and Temujin in Vienna.

With the loss of Vienna, he would also lose his most important territory, and Alexander sent important generals back to the Macedonian kingdom to deal with the Ottoman Empire.

He himself, still in Vienna, felt the need to increase his influence on the Western Continent by resisting Attila and lay the foundation for a unified Western Continent.

Between civilizations, wars often require excuses, even if a strong country faces a weak country, it has to find an excuse to show other powerful enemies, or there is an excuse to pacify the civilians of the conquered land.

Temujin's cavalry, faced with a group of powerful Western lords, was finally stopped.

The cavalry of both sides fought in the vicinity of Vienna, and the infantry of the Western lords used military chariots to form wooden ramparts to relieve the terrible onslaught of the heavy cavalry of the opposing side.

A group of Teutonic knights with cross-stripes on their chests took the initiative to attack the heavy cavalry units of the Mongol cavalry.

The front rows of knights are equipped with Western-style full-body armor that is very rare in the Eastern Continent, this kind of armor leaves only a few narrow cracks on the whole body, and it is difficult to kill this batch of iron cans unless they are fired by firearms or armor-piercing arrows at close range.

The arrows thrown by a Mongol cavalry landed in the front of a group of full-body Teutonic knights, and this group of iron cans ignored the bows and arrows and rolled forward, rows of dense spears pointed straight ahead, like a wave, drowning the Mongol cavalry squad that had no time to escape!

The Mongolian cavalry had been fighting with Chutian and other princes for a long time, and at this time they encountered the full-body armored knights at the peak of the Cold Weapon Era, and suffered a small loss under the charge of the Teutonic knights, and hundreds of cavalry were directly killed by the charge of the Teutonic knights, and were suddenly killed by the Teutonic knights' cavalry!

"That's one of the three major knights in the Western Continent, you can't force a battle with it head-on, it's best to lure this group of iron cans to chase after it, and then attack it head-on."

Seeing the terrible impact of the Teutonic Knights' front, Temujin was hesitant to fight the tin cans head-on, believing that he should play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

"Alexander must have at least half of his forces brought back to the Macedonian kingdom, we have the upper hand, and if we can't kill Alexander, we will be discredited."

Attila looked in the direction of Vienna, where the Western lords' coalition forces had amassed more than 300,000 troops, and the various legions were still converging on the fortified city from all directions.

Attila and Temujin had gained the upper hand, and their armies captured the Kingdom of Hungary, received a number of supplies, and were more powerful than the combined forces of the Western Lords.

"Defeat Alexander and slay him before they gather their forces. Gustav, your Firearms Legion and the Eumes Warband will be the main force in this battle. ”

Attila used Gustav, the Norse lion, as the number one hitter and a weapon against Alexander, and any hero could be shot in the face of a firearms legion.

"Alexander, I haven't fought against him yet, I hope Alexander won't let me down, I hope I can defeat Alexander with dignity and exchange my exploits for commissions."

Gustavus had no grudges with Alexander's Macedonian kingdom, the two sides were only in different camps, for their own interests. The big fight is about to happen.

As a war maniac, Gustav hopes for a formidable adversary

"Gustav, don't worry, in this era, you will not lack opponents."

Attila pointed out that every civilization has unexpected heroes and troops, who turned the tide at critical moments, and the Ottoman Empire, which was in civil strife, even had a female sultan who held power.

"It's true that it's an era of heroes, but I, Gustav, won't lose to anyone."

Gustav was not afraid in the face of the Macedonian king, and commanded the Swedish legion and the Jumsian regiment to attack the city of Vienna, with the Polish king and Temujin's cavalry as the left and right flanks, and Attila personally pressed the formation, driving more than 100,000 Hungarian soldiers or peasants, and pressed on Alexander.

The Mongol cavalry, the Huns, the Ostrogoths, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and other legions were all over the mountains, and they were caught off guard, and the combined forces of the Western lords in Vienna were under-manned and faced with a terrifying army outnumbered them.

The armies of Attila and Temujin were densely packed, divided into four bands, and pressed against Alexander and their army.

As the cavalry corps marched on the Western continent, even Alexander and his generals could not help but change color in front of the endless cavalry army.

"The troops on the opposite side are at least 700,000 ......"

Constantine currently has only two regular Roman legions, three servant legions, about 2-30,000 people, insufficient troops, Caesar and Pompey currently come to Vienna with the same number of troops, and the Roman legions add up to 7-80,000 people.

Alexander sent 400,000 troops to attack Attila, leaving 100,000 troops to defend the north, and at least half of the remaining troops were transferred back to the Macedonian kingdom, and only 100,000 men rushed to Vienna.

The combined forces of the two lords of Hohenzollern and Ferdinand amounted to about 200,000, many of which were improvised Austrian militiamen.

It seems that the army of the Western lords also has 400,000 troops, but Ferdinand still has to divide his troops to hold Vienna.

"The companion cavalry has already engaged the Cowardly Xue Army!"

Alexander received news that his close friend Hephaestion had engaged Temujin's cavalry when he went on reconnaissance.

"Protector King!"

Eumenes led the Silver Shield Men and followed Alexander, who had already led his companion cavalry to relieve the siege of Hephaestion!

Hephaestion took about a few dozen companion cavalrymen to reconnoiter in the front, and met Temujin who personally went to the front to reconnoitre, and the two sides immediately broke out into conflict, hundreds of cavalry encountered, Temujin's cowardly army caused Hephaestion's partner cavalry to suffer heavy losses, and Hephaestion himself fought bloodily.

Hephaestion was the captain of Alexander's companion cavalry guards, and was in charge of the cavalry, following Alexander on his side and fighting together, and the two were like brothers.

However, after a hard battle and defeat in front of Temujin and several of his guards, some of his companion cavalry were shot by Jebe, who was surrounded by Temujin, and Hephaestion was surrounded by Temujin in a bush.

"Great Khan, there is an elite cavalry of the Macedonian kingdom coming, which should also be a companion cavalry. The enemy's cavalry is not small, we are only a reconnaissance force, we should retreat quickly! ”

The Tanma Chiwu who came with Temujin to reconnoitre, Kuang Kuo Buhua, reminded Temujin.
