Chapter 683 Surprise Attack on Hungary (Noon 2/2)

"Attila, his goal is Hungary, and he sent half a million cavalry!"

Alexander joined forces with the Big Three of Rome and was fighting Attila's cavalry at the border, but suddenly received information from the scouts who risked their lives to send them back.

Regardless of Alexander or the Big Three of Rome, the best legion is still infantry, but the number of cavalry is not as good as that of the Hunnic Empire, and they are relatively passive.

So Alexander drew Hohenzollern, who had many knights, and Ferdinand, who had many Hungarian hussars, into the war with the Hungarian Empire.

When Attila's soldiers suddenly turned into the Kingdom of Hungary, the Macedonian Legion and the Roman Legion, which were pulled by Attila's cavalry, fell into a dilemma.

Alexander asked the scribe Eumenes: "Can we get accurate information, is it Attila himself, or Temujin's surprise attack on Hungary?"

Eumenes had a calm expression: "The Hungarian Empire has begun to completely block the news, all cities are under martial law, and the various units of the Hungarian cavalry are out all year round, and their whereabouts are uncertain. But there is a high probability that Temujin and Subotai led the cavalry to attack Hungary. The Archduke of Austria Leading troops into the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Hungary has an empty defense, and under Temujin's offensive, it may not be able to resist, and will soon be defeated."

"The Hungarian Empire's occupation of Hungary will cut off the Holy Roman Empire from our Kingdom of Macedonia, forming a semi-encirclement of our Kingdom of Macedonia. Could it be that Attila plans to fight us to the death in Hungary?"

Alexander was weighing whether to attack the capital of the Hungarian Empire or to support the Kingdom of Hungary.

"Seleucus, speak your mind."

Alexander looked at Seleucus, the captain of the shield guards and the founder of the Seleucid Empire. At the same time, Seleucus was also a rare general under Alexander's command who had a war elephant.

Seleucus, like the other generals of Alexander at this time, was very young and could fight for decades, and was also one of the generals of Alexander's king's army.

Seleucus had not shown much ambition in front of Alexander, just as Timur did not dare to object in front of Temujin.

Ambitious strong people have to succumb when they meet stronger ones.

Seleucus, as the captain of Alexander's shield guard and a hero who established an empire, thought for a while: "If Attila decides to fight the king in the Kingdom of Hungary, wouldn't it be in line with the king's wishes?"

"Indeed, Attila's light cavalry wandered erratically.

If he confronts me head-on, then he will definitely lose. I wanted to invite the king of the East and the grand duke of St. Petersburg. They have excellent light cavalry generals and a large number of light cavalry. Together, we can easily defeat Attila. "

Alexander dismounted, and the shield guards and silver shield soldiers immediately formed an array to protect Alexander from being attacked by Attila's cavalry.

Although the Macedonian Kingdom, which is famous for its infantry, also has cavalry units such as partner cavalry, facing the Hunnic Empire with cavalry characteristics, and Temujin, who was the peak cavalry in the cold weapon period, the cavalry is still at a disadvantage.

Eumenes said: "My lord, the lords in the east have been reluctant to send troops for a long time, and they have not refused our request. Most of them want to sit on the sidelines and consume our troops."

"Your guess is very correct. This is the strategy of the Eastern lords. If I were in their position, the decision I would make would be exactly the same as theirs. Tell the three giants of Rome to contain Attila with one force, and we to Hungary and force Attila to a decisive battle."

After consideration, Alexander chose to meet the plundering Attila and Temujin in the Kingdom of Hungary.

Attila and Temujin seem to want to fight a decisive battle with the Western Allied Forces in the Kingdom of Hungary, take the opportunity to take the Kingdom of Hungary, block the offensive from Germany and Austria, and then destroy the Kingdom of Macedonia from two directions.

The situation of the Kingdom of Macedonia is quite dangerous.

Alexander left behind a commander and more than a dozen generals leading 100,000 Macedonian soldiers to stay on the northeastern border of the Macedonian Kingdom, while he personally marched to rescue the Hungarian Kingdom.

The Macedonian phalanx composed of silver shield soldiers, shield guards, partner infantry, and partner cavalry changed the marching route to the direction of the Kingdom of Hungary.

Among the Macedonian army, there is also an extremely conspicuous army consisting of 500 war elephants.

Tall war elephants on the battlefield can have a deterrent effect on unprepared cavalry regiments, making war horses fear and retreat.

"With his army of elephants, Seleucus gained the king's relatives, and the king even gave him the command of the shield-bearers."

The Macedonian general Antigonus was jealous of Seleucid's war elephant army. He had only one eye left, and the eyeball had a touch of blood from long-term lack of sleep.

Seleucus's status was not as good as his, but Seleucus could recruit special war elephants, and his status in the Macedonian Kingdom was rising steadily.

Seleucus was only a second-tier military general, and now he was faintly becoming the first-tier general, that is, Alexander's core general level.

"Antico, how many people are left in your army?"

A Macedonian general came on a horse and asked Antigonus.

The pupil of Antigonus' only remaining eye shrank, and the person who came to ask him was Alexander's close friend and commander of the companion cavalry, Hephaestion.

Hephaistion was somewhat handsome in appearance, and he could rank among the top of Alexander's generals, otherwise he would not have been appointed by Alexander as the commander of the important partner cavalry.

Antigonus would be jealous of Seleucus, whose status was rising rapidly, but he did not envy Hephaestion, because Hephaistion's position in Alexander's heart was irreplaceable.

Unless Hephaistion died in battle or died of illness, Alexander would consider letting the next general he trusted be the commander of the partner cavalry.

Antigonus said, "My legion still has 40,000 people."

Hephaistion nodded: "The king intends to appoint you as the vanguard in the battle of the Kingdom of Hungary."

When Antigonus ruled in Alexander, he did not dare to have any intention of rebellion: "The king's army is powerful, and it will be invincible."

"Attila uses offense as defense, which is beyond my expectation. There are several teleportation arrays in the Kingdom of Hungary. We can use the teleportation arrays to go to the Kingdom of Hungary as soon as possible and defeat Attila and Temujin. Last time We suffered from Temujin, and Crassus was captured by Temujin. This time, we want to avenge the revenge of the Roman legion eagle flag being captured by Temujin."

After receiving the information from Alexander, Caesar negotiated with Constantine and Pompey and each commanded an army of 70,000 to join forces with Alexander to march towards the Kingdom of Hungary.

"Why did Attila choose to attack the Kingdom of Hungary? Could it be that he wants to open up a new battlefield and change from passive to active?"

Constantine was guessing Attila's intentions. Although he had some doubts that Attila would turn the battlefield into the Kingdom of Hungary and had other plans, his allies had already chosen to gather in the Kingdom of Hungary, so they had no choice but to follow Kingdom of Hungary.

The Archduke of Austria, Ferdinand, learned that Attila had suddenly changed his goal to attacking the Kingdom of Hungary, which was the territory he controlled, and his expression changed. He immediately retreated and returned to defend the Kingdom of Hungary.

"Ferdinand, his realm was attacked by Attila"

The Teutonic Knights of the German lord Hohenzollern were fighting with the hussars of the Kingdom of Poland. The battle flag sounded in the Pod Plain. Teams of Teutonic knights charged the Polish hussars, and the Polish hussars fought back bravely. Never back down.

Polish cavalry and Teutonic knights also have a lot of grievances.

The battle between the two sides lasted for a day. Under the fierce counterattack of the Polish hussars, the Teutonic Knights' offensive was blocked, and the outcome was not yet decided.

When Hohenzollern received the news that Attila had suddenly turned to the Kingdom of Hungary, he was stunned for a while and decided to withdraw his troops.

"The Teutonic Knights have retreated!"

The Polish king wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief as he witnessed the Teutonic Knights and the allied forces of the German princes leaving like a tide.

The population of Hohenzollern is more than 30 million, three times larger than that of the Kingdom of Poland. It is too much pressure for the Kingdom of Poland to block the coalition forces of the German princes and the Teutonic Knights.

"His Majesty Attila asks you to lead the hussars and move to the Kingdom of Hungary."

Just as the Polish king breathed a sigh of relief, Attila's envoy immediately asked the Polish king to go to the Kingdom of Hungary to join the war.

The Polish king's face was ashen, and he had to obey Attila's order. Moreover, the relationship between the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Holy Roman Empire was not very good. In case the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Holy Roman Empire win, the Kingdom of Poland is likely to be partitioned.

"I will personally command the Polish hussars and head to the Kingdom of Hungary."

Weighing the kingdom's future, the King of Poland was still forced to stand in Attila's camp and use the barbarian civilization to weaken the strength of the mighty enemies the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Holy Roman Empire.

Otherwise, even if there is no civil strife in the western continent, the future Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth will be caught between the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Holy Roman Empire, and will eventually be divided.

All Western lords, suddenly will be targeted. Transformed into the Kingdom of Hungary.

Attila's main force has never been in a decisive battle with the Western Continent. His main force suddenly appeared in the Kingdom of Hungary and captured more than 30 cities within seven days. Half of the Kingdom of Hungary fell, which shocked the entire Western Continent!

In order to quickly conquer the city, Temujin specially borrowed a siege general from the Ili Khanate to speed up the occupation of the Kingdom of Hungary!

Even Alexander, Ferdinand and others couldn't imagine that Temujin's siege was so fast, and the defenders of the Hungarian Kingdom retreated steadily. More defenders surrendered directly when they saw the front of the Mongolian cavalry.

"Temujin has been defeated many times, and there are still so many generals. His khanate can also give birth to many heroes."

Seeing that Temujin could transfer generals from the Ili Khanate, Attila was surprised by the number of generals in Temujin's various khanates.
