Chapter 696 Attila and Timur (make up for last week's daily routine 4/4)

In the city of Vienna, there were thick smoke everywhere, black smoke covered the sky, and stones fell from the broken walls. Vienna militia dragged the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle and buried them in the city.

Attila and Temujin's army launched a siege on Vienna for several days, resulting in as many as 30,000 defenders killed in Vienna!

The tragic offensive and defensive battle in Vienna was beyond Ferdinand's imagination. There were 100,000 professional soldiers defending Vienna, and 100,000 militia recruited from Vienna, equivalent to 200,000 soldiers defending Vienna.

However, ordinary recruited militias were panicked by the Mongols and needed Ferdinand to send a supervising team to supervise so that these militias would not escape at the last minute.

However, even so, the morale of these militias would drop significantly when the Mongols' catapults bombarded the city, and their combat effectiveness was almost negligible.

The catapult is not only powerful, but also has a deterrent effect on the soldiers' psychology and reduces the defense force of the defenders.

"At this rate, Vienna may be lost in less than a month."

Ferdinand infers the time when Vienna fell.

When the defenders were sufficient at the beginning, the possibility of being captured by the barbarian army was relatively small. However, the further we went to the back, the less powerful the defenders, the probability of being captured increased significantly.

A city as big as Vienna also requires enough strength to defend.

"I hope Alexander, Caesar and others can organize troops to fight back in time. Otherwise, I will not be able to defend at all. You convey my meaning to Alexander and the others."

Ferdinand was alone and could not stand it. So he sent a team of Austrian cavalry to inform Alexander and Caesar and other Western lords, asking for reinforcements.

Alexander and his team must regroup within one month to support Vienna.

A military general from the Grand Duchy of Austria led about hundreds of elite cavalry, with full armored knights as the vanguard, forcibly breaking through the encirclement of the army outside the city, and galloping towards the Linz city where Alexander and the others were!

"Your Majesty, a cavalry broke through the city successfully, and its direction was Linz City on the Danube River! Their goal may be to ask Alexander for reinforcements, please beware of your Majesty!"

When the Austrian cavalry broke through from Vienna, Attila, the leader of the Hunter Empire, learned the news immediately and he immediately summoned all his allies.

Attila naturally realized that the Western lord was gathering troops to prepare for a second decisive battle with him.

The last time the troops of the Western lords had not yet been assembled, so Attila and his team had an absolute advantage in military strength. This time, Alexander, Caesar and other lords deliberately left Ferdinand alone to defend the city of Vienna, delaying Attila and their team's offensive progress in order to gain time to gather troops.

Attila cannot allow these Western lords to gather troops smoothly, otherwise the outcome will be unpredictable.

"Temujin, Subutai, I need your strength. You lead the cavalry to attack Linz and defeat the army of Western lords located in the local area."

Attila intends to use Temujin's power again.

Temujin's face was not good-looking: "It is difficult to defeat them just by relying on my strength and strength of Subutai."

Temujin is not a reckless person. The combined force of Western lords and the number of military generals is extremely considerable. Even if Temujin and Subutai join forces, it is impossible to succeed in a surprise attack on the Hungarian Kingdom again.

The coalition of Western lords and famous generals owned by the Roman Republic include many king-level and emperor-level commanders. The cavalry of these generals may not be as terrible as Temujin, and Subutai, but their bonus to infantry or crossbowmen may be higher than Temujin and Subutai's bonus to infantry and crossbowmen.

Moreover, after the last battle, the Western lord army realized that Temujin would often use raid or detour cavalry tactics, and they would be prepared for this.

"I will go to Linz with you in person to deal with Alexander. This time I must kill the pressure. My wound still hurts faintly."

Attila was stabbed by Alexander's companion cavalry in the previous melee, and held a grudge against Alexander.

"Can."

Temujin joins forces with Attila again.

This time the two sides have the experience of joining forces to defeat Alexander, so they have no resistance to joining forces again.

"The pressure is too high, and it seems not as terrible as you say."

In the battle with the Roman Legion, Gustav joined forces with the Viking Beaters to defeat Pompey, one of the three giants in Rome.

He was not afraid of Alexander and the three giants of Rome, because he was a famous firearm general after the Renaissance and had a much higher rank than the Roman legion.

Temujin couldn't help but look at Gustav for a long time. He was always afraid of firearms and weapons such as Shenji Camp, Swedish musketeers. Firearms have natural restraint on cavalry. It can be said that the emergence of firearms has changed the situation of cavalry suppressing infantry.

If others say this, he may still underestimate the other party, but Gustav has high-level firearms, so Gustav is indeed qualified to say this.

Even Alexander's partner cavalry may not be able to resist Gustav's firearms army. Unless the partner cavalry can cut into the firearms army and wave their sabres. However, before fighting with the Swedish musketeers in close combat, they must successfully defeat the Viking Beaters.

"Don't underestimate Alexander."

Attila knew that if he had not united with the Ottoman Empire's Sultan Xurem and restrained some of the troops of the Kingdom of Macedonia, otherwise Alexander's generals might have been more and might not have been able to defeat Gustav's firearms army.

Perhaps Gustav ignored Alexander and the Spartan warriors of the Greek city-state.

Spartans can completely compete with Viking Bereaves and may even gain the upper hand.

In other words, the combination of Swedish musketeers and Viking Bereaves may not necessarily achieve the effect of fighting against the Roman legion. The Spartan warriors were transferred back to the Kingdom of Macedonia by Alexander to defend Greece and prevent the Ottoman Empire from attacking the Balkans.

Gustav seemed to have not understood Attila's good intentions.

"Also, the number of formal Roman legions that last fought us was only about six or seven, and the whole Rome had 22 legions, and they had some powerful ordinary legions. They had not yet entered the battle. Last time they angered them, the Romans would definitely be too-for-tat, eye-for-eye, because this was their code of conduct."

"We all go to attack Linz, so who should be besieging Vienna?"

"Temur is responsible for besieging Vienna."

"Just rely on him alone?"

Gustav couldn't help but hesitate.

Temujin seemed to have too much confidence in Timuri's ability.

"Trust me, he is enough to be the commander-in-chief."

"Then Timur will be responsible for the siege."

Attila finally decided that Timur and Temujin several generals attacked Vienna together, and he and Temujin, Subutai and others bypassed Vienna and forced the Western lords to fight for the second decisive battle without giving them any chance to breathe.

Attila's decision was soon noticed by the scouts of the Western lords. These Western lords deployed some scouts in Attila's army, and they could learn about each other's news as soon as possible.

Attila's order, the barbarian army once again gathered forces and advanced rapidly, intending to take advantage of the cavalry's maneuver power advantage. They pressed step by step, intending to annex the entire Austrian Grand Duchy in one breath, and even invade the German region.

Even in the city of Vienna, in their opinion, Timur commanded about 100,000 warriors and 200,000 minions was enough to capture it.

"The mission of conquering Vienna is given to you, young Timur, if I conquer Vienna, I can enthrone you as king of the Kingdom of Hungary."

In order to win over Timur, Attila made a promise to Timur in advance.

Timur's eyes couldn't help but radiate after hearing Attila's conditions.

His ambition made him care very much about the title of king.

Attila was the emperor of the Hun Empire and the leader of the barbarian camp. He was indeed qualified to be king. Now the Kingdom of Hungary is already the territory of Attila.

If he appointed Timur as king, then he would be the king of Attila's vassal state and became a subordinate of Attila.

However, Temujin was still alive, and Timur did not dare to betray Temujin openly and surrender to Attila, so he said to Attila: "Please leave it to me for the capture of Vienna, your Majesty, and let it go without regard for the kingship."

"When you capture Vienna, then discuss the kingship."

Attila knew that it was not easy to win over Timur, and Temujin's ability was no less than Attila. Without the extra bonus of the system, Attila's ability was even worse than Temujin.

To gain Timur's allegiance, you must show strong enough strength and give Timur enough benefits before Timur can serve himself.

Thinking of this, Attila was not in a hurry to win over Timur, but patiently waited for the opportunity. The most urgent task was to defeat the coalition of Western lords.

Temujin realized that Attila was trying to win over his generals, but Temujin wanted to annex Attila's power and obtain Attila's holy recruitment order and replace it, so he was still enduring and indifferent. At the same time, this was also a test of his loyalty to Timur.

Linz, the Western lords were gathering forces to prepare for a second battle with the barbarian camp represented by Attila.

Alexander is no longer responsible for coordinating the Western army, because Alexander is still tired of dealing with the offensive from the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

The one who succeeded Alexander was the lord Hornsoren, the German region of the Holy Roman Empire.

"The lords of England were fighting with the Northern European Emperor Knut The Great, and the Yums team of Knut The Great was plundering the coastal areas of England, causing considerable losses to the English, and the conflict broke out again with England. They were powerless."

Hohenzollern, in addition to gathering his own troops, was also looking for reinforcements everywhere. Attila brought too much shock to the Western continent.

Many Western lords knew that if Attila wins again, there would be no lord in the Western continent to resist Attila's military front, and Attila's camp may re-establish order.

"Didn't there be any movement in Yekaterina and Chu Tian of St. Petersburg? With their personalities, they don't seem to be calm and indifferent."
