Chapter 687: Sultan Xurem
The city of Vienna, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Austria, was also a shield against the combined forces of Attila and Temujin to crush Europe.
The infantry-based corps of Alexander and Caesar was shot by Attila, and the cavalry of Temujin and Subutai crossed the Carpathian Mountains and attacked the Kingdom of Hungary, quickly capturing Budapest, the royal city of the Kingdom of Hungary.
Temujin and Subutai often used the combat concept of the Eastern Soldiers, which brought great shock to the Western Continent, and the legendary NPC heroes such as Alexander and Caesar paid more attention to the impact of marching speed on the outcome of the war.
When the coalition forces of the Western lords quickly dispatched troops to reinforce Vienna, Temujin and Subutai began to march towards Vienna, intending to encircle Vienna and disable the teleportation array in Vienna.
The armies of both sides encountered them outside Vienna and were harassed by Mongol and Hun cavalry.
Budapest, the royal city of the Kingdom of Hungary, the King of Poland led the Polish Hussar Legion, and Gustav led the Swedish Firearms Legion, the Swedish Cavalry Legion, the Jums's War Regiment and other troops to this city.
"It is inconceivable that Temujin and his generals have captured the Kingdom of Hungary at such a rapid pace, and the Kingdom of Hungary has no power to fight back under their storm-like attack."
The Polish king admired the rapid march and siege ability of the Temujin and Subutai legions, and their prestige caused the defenders of the Kingdom of Hungary to flee.
"But, how did he lose?"
Gustav looked at the city, which had been thriving not so long ago.
The speed of Temujin and Subutai's advance was amazing, but from the side, Gustav couldn't help but wonder how terrible it was to defeat Temujin's Chutian and Catherine coalition forces.
Gustav's siege of St. Petersburg was fruitless, and he withdrew his troops in time, so he did not fight with Chutian and Catherina.
Still, Gustav got more than enough out of this national war. He subdued the Viking hero Olaf, captured several cities in the northern part of the Russian Empire, and extorted two military bills from Attila.
"Gustav, Jagieil, Vytautas, I will lead you to victory."
Attila, under the leadership of Shan Yu's guards, personally came to meet with the three great lords of the Western Continent.
Gustav, the Nordic lion, dared to take the initiative to provoke Catherine.
Jagieło, the king of Poland, and Grand Duke Vytautas, who jointly governed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, were defeated by Attila, but for the sake of the kingdom and his personal house arrest, he finally chose to side with Attila.
The Polish king Jagieło did not seem to be very optimistic about this great battle: "Attila, I fought with Hohenzollern not long ago, and his Teutonic Knights are even larger than before, as well as the brave and skilled German two-handed swordsmen, and my hussars, all of whom have suffered a great deal of losses. Damn, this time there are Alexander and Caesar, Pompey and others! ”
Attila didn't seem to care much about the Polish king calling him by name, and Jagieło only had to do what he commanded.
"Jagiewo, believe me and Temujin, Gustav, a few of us join forces, not many of us are our opponents, Caesar can't, and Alexander can't."
"Damn, if they were so easily defeated, then they wouldn't be unable to annex each other!"
"Jagiewo, stop complaining."
Fearing that Jagiew, who was close to him, would anger Attila, Attila would have the Hun generals watching them chop them up, so he hurried to stop Jagiew.
"Trust me, all you can do is trust me."
Attila was a little unhappy with the outspoken Jagieworth, but he could not clash with his few allies until he could deal with them.
Like Chu Tian, Attila has only a handful of allies, so he also cherishes each one of his allies, Gustav asks for military spending, and Attila does what he wants.
Jagieworth was still muttering, "Empty words will not kill Alexander." ”
"Temujin is already fighting with Alexander and the others outside the city of Vienna, you gather your respective legions as soon as possible, and then immediately go to the city of Vienna to join us."
Attila brought a royal horse and turned it over.
Attila often led his own troops into battle, so it made sense that he, like Temujin, would personally lead his cavalry against Alexander.
"As long as my arquebus phalanx arrives, Alexander's Macedonian legions, Caesar's Roman legions, are vulnerable in front of the musket phalanx. Before the arrival of the Firearms Corps, I will lead a group of cuirassiers and move with you. Once Vienna is captured, I will need a third military payment. ”
In order to get more gold and silver from Attila, Gustav took the initiative to lead a team of Swedish cavalry to act with Attila.
Attila's whip pointed in the direction of the city of Vienna: "Gustav, rich Vienna, this is the third military fee I paid you, after the city is broken, I will let your army take the lead in sacking for half a day!" ”
The cavalry led by Temujin and Subutai was not far from the city of Vienna, and was resisted by the coalition of Western lords, Alexander himself sat in the town, and Ferdinand defended the city, which blocked the advance of the cavalry of Temujin and Subutai.
The speed of the cavalry advance of Temujin and Subutai was too terrifying, so that Alexander, Caesar and others had to deal with it in person, instead of sending generals to defend against the enemy, because it was very likely that they could not resist!
Eumenes, who served as the clerk, presented Alexander with a piece of information from the Kingdom of Macedonia, and his voice, which was usually calm, trembled: "King, things are a little ...... Bad. ”
"Eumenes, what's wrong with you? It's not like your usual style. ”
Alexander received the information from the Kingdom of Macedonia, and his face turned slightly pale.
Constantine, the lord of the Roman Republic, was keenly aware of the change in his ally's expression: "Alexander, Vienna is a huge city and fortress that Ferdinand has been running for many years, and even if Attila and Temujin come in person, it is impossible to capture the city of Vienna. At present, there are at least 200,000 defenders in Vienna, and when Attila's main force arrives, I am afraid that there will be 300,000 or even 400,000 defenders, and there are hundreds of thousands of reinforcements outside. ”
"If it were just Temujin and Attila, I wouldn't be afraid. But the Ottomans did not declare war and attacked my territory. ”
After the initial surprise, Alexander quickly regained his composure.
"Ottomans, how did they go to war?!"
The lord of the Holy Roman Empire, Hohenzollern's face also changed, he knew that the Ottoman Empire was not a weak civilization, if it was not for the Han Empire's Huo Qubing to kill Suleiman the Magnificent in the national war, delaying the rise of the Ottoman Empire, perhaps the Ottoman Empire was already an empire on the Mediterranean, competing with the Macedonian Kingdom and the Roman Republic.
Now, after three years of chaos, the Ottoman Empire has reappeared in front of the world, and as soon as it appears, it has forcefully inserted itself into the great war on the Western continent!
As a West Asian civilization, the goal of the Ottoman Empire was not necessarily West Asia, but to conquer the Western continent.
The Ottoman Empire borders the Kingdom of Macedonia, so the Ottoman Empire intervened in the Great War, and the goal was self-evident - the Balkan Peninsula, especially the Greek city-states, controlled by Alexander!
The Ottoman Empire wants to take advantage of this opportunity to expand and annex the Macedonian kingdom!
"Sultan Xurem, how can there be a female sulse!"
Constantine immediately opened the liege list and saw that the current sultan of the Ottoman Empire was Shreem, a legendary hero of the Ottoman Empire, who was said to be of Ukrainian origin not as a Turk.
Regardless, she is actually classified as a legendary hero of the Ottoman Empire.
"As a female sultan, as soon as she ascended to the throne, she immediately launched a war against the Macedonian kingdom, either to divert the contradictions within the Ottoman Empire, to win through foreign wars, and to consolidate her dominance; Either because of Attila's lobbying, she fell into Attila's camp. Whatever the reason, I must send some of the elite back to the Macedonian kingdom and defend Thrace, Thermopa, and other places. ”
Alexander was pitted by Attila's diplomatic offensive, and no one could have imagined that the Ottoman Empire, which was already in chaos, would suddenly intervene in a major war on the western continent.
The Ottoman Empire was an Asian civilization.
"So the Janissary Legion, the Sipahi Cavalry, and the Kurdish Cavalry have also begun to intervene in the big battle......"
Pompey, the giant of Rome, was a little numb in his scalp, and in this great war, I really don't know how many civilizations of the Western Continent will be involved.
In the fourth national war, in the first year, Central Asia and Mobei were at war, and in the dark, and in the second year, the western continent was in chaos, and various civilizations began to divide their camps and fight.
"Leonidas, Solon, Pericles, return to Greece and fend off the Ottoman attack, Lysimachus, you go to Thrace to prevent the Ottomans from attacking from land......"
Alexander repatriated some of his forces, and even sent elite Spartan warriors, as well as Lysimachus, one of his seven close guards, back to the Macedonian kingdom.
"This is Attila's trap, the forces of the Macedonian kingdom are scattered, and they may not be able to stop the Ottoman sultan, unless Alexander returns half of his generals, or himself himself, to repel the Sultan of Xurem."
Constantine had seen through Attila's strategy, but he could not do anything about it, because they could not come up with terms that would satisfy Sultan Shrem.
Hohenzollern, as a player, also speculated about the purpose of Sultan Xurem: "This woman is really crazy, she wants to use war to divert domestic contradictions, and she can get the support of the Janissaries through political means and become a crazy woman of the female sultan......"
