Chapter 684 The Fall of the Kingdom (Fill Yesterday 1/2)
In the many passes of the Carpathian Mountains, corpses were strewn across the field, and the flag of the Kingdom of Hungary fell to the ground, trampled by Subodei's boots and covered with mud. The general of the Hungarian Kingdom sat slumped on the ground, stepped back, and looked up desperately at the group of conquerors from the east.
Only when you really fight Temujin and Subotai will you know how terrible they are.
The coalition forces of the Western lords were originally on the offensive against the Hungarian Empire. Archduke Ferdinand of Austria deployed insufficient troops in the Carpathian Mountains, which the Kingdom of Hungary used as a barrier. Thousands of Hungarian soldiers were killed.
Temujin, Subotai, and Timur received a group of troops from the Hungarian Empire as supplies and served as the main force to attack the Hungarian Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Hungary, with a population of only a few million, is not considered a powerful civilization among the lords, and it is also ruled by the Austrian Grand Duke.
In the face of the Eastern conquerors, the defenders of the Kingdom of Hungary were vulnerable.
Subotai lifted the Hungarian defender who fell on the ground: "How many defenders are there in Budapest and Vienna?"
The Hungarian guard's forehead was covered with pea-sized beads of sweat, flowing down his cheeks, and his teeth were trembling: "These are all secrets, I can't tell you."
"Then you can only die, and you will be quartered by five horses."
Subotai waved, and a group of Mongolian cavalry put a rope around the guard's neck.
The Hungarian guard was even more nervous. Facing the terrible torture, his legs could no longer stand up: "There are only 30,000 soldiers in Budapest. As for Vienna, Austria, there may be more soldiers. I don't know how many there are."
"Very well, from now on, you are the general of our servant army. You have betrayed your country, and your lord will not let you go easily. Once you fall into his hands, your fate will be worse than five horses. It will be ten times more miserable. Next, command your soldiers and lead the way for us to capture Budapest."
Subodei's march was extremely fast. After capturing the pass of the Carpathian Mountains by surprise, the Hungarian soldiers who drove the Carpathian Mountains were driven as servants and marched towards Budapest, the royal city of the Kingdom of Hungary.
The frightening thing about the nomadic empire lies in its ability to drive away the servant army, and quickly grow its own army like a snowball.
This way of expanding the army also has disadvantages, that is, the types of arms are complex, and the servant army cannot guarantee absolute loyalty.
After the troops were damaged,
Temujin and Subotai no longer considered the issue of the loyalty of the servants. It was Temujin's top priority to expand his forces as soon as possible, sweep the entire western continent, destroy the original empire, and establish a new Mongolian empire. .
"Although Attila lent me part of his servant army, he still doesn't trust me enough. The generals of each servant army are still his confidantes. He can take back the control of the legion at any time. We must Take possession of your own territories in a conquest sweeping across the Western Continent."
Temujin and Jebe broke through the defense line of the Carpathian Mountains from another direction, entered the hinterland of the Kingdom of Hungary, split up with Subotai, and went straight to Budapest, the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary!
"The Mongolian cavalry and the Hun cavalry have broken through the Carpathian Mountains, less than 100 kilometers away from Budapest!"
The defenders who fled from the Carpathian Mountains brought back the bad news that the Mongolian cavalry and the Hungarian cavalry drove straight in. The defenders of the King's City of the Hungarian King were panicked and panicked, because the number of people sent by the teleportation array was limited every day, and they were used to dispatch troops. , Players and civilians were unable to use Budapest's teleportation array, and Budapest fell into chaos.
Tens of thousands of players and civilians escaped from this abandoned city that might be massacred. Even the defenders of the Kingdom of Hungary no longer wanted to defend Budapest, but began to retreat towards Vienna.
The Grand Duchy of Austria belongs to the Holy Roman Empire, and Vienna is the capital of the Grand Duchy of Austria and the shield of Europe.
The speed with which the defenders of the Kingdom of Hungary fell was unimaginable.
Originally, the lords of the Kingdom of Macedonia, Rome, and Germany planned to send troops directly to Budapest, but it was too late.
The Mongolian cavalry launched a surprise attack, and it took only seven days to point directly at Budapest. There was no time for the Western lords to dispatch troops!
"Vienna, transfer to Vienna!"
Archduke Ferdinand of Austria heard that the Kingdom of Hungary was rapidly collapsed by Temujin and Subotai's raids, so he couldn't help being furious and turned to Vienna, which he ran.
If he had to, he was unwilling to bring the flames of war to the prosperous Vienna, which would weaken his national power, but the attack speed of the Mongolian cavalry was so fast that he could not imagine, so Ferdinand had to turn to Vienna. A proud fortified city.
This time, Alexander of the Kingdom of Macedonia also sped up his speed, and personally commanded the elite cavalry, silver shield soldiers, Spartan warriors, war elephants and other elite legions, and sent them to Vienna.
Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, who attacked part of the territory of the Kingdom of Bohemia occupied by the Hungarian Empire, learned that the Kingdom of Hungary had fallen. He returned to Vienna immediately with a livid face.
"We still underestimated the speed of the Eastern cavalry. They seldom pay attention to frontal combat, but emphasize the importance of speed. We rarely face such opponents, which made us suffer."
Ferdinand knew where his mistakes were. He defended the Carpathians too loosely. Secondly, he didn't expect the Kingdom of Hungary to collapse all at once. Finally, there is the terrible advancing speed of the Mongolian cavalry.
The territory he occupied is mainly the Archduchy of Austria, the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Kingdom of Bohemia. Now the Kingdom of Hungary has fallen and its strength has been damaged.
"If Temujin is allowed to occupy Hungary, Austria, and Bohemia, you can't imagine the consequences! Together with Attila, he can completely unify the whole of Europe, it's only a matter of time!"
Ferdinand issued a warning to Alexander, who was also located in the western continent, and wanted Alexander's generous and selfless help.
"Ferdinand, calm down, our Holy Roman Empire is not so easily defeated by Attila and Temujin. What's more, France, Spain, and England have not yet entered the war."
A familiar voice sounded, and the German lord Hohenzollern appeared with a sword mark on his face. Behind him was a group of German princes and generals of the Teutonic Knights and Sword Knights.
It was rare for Hohenzollern to see the Archduke of Austria showing such a flustered expression. Probably the fall of the Hungarian Kingdom hit Ferdinand.
"The territory occupied by Temujin is not your territory, of course you are not in a hurry."
Ferdinand knew that Hohenzollern was not only satisfied with uniting the German princes, but also wanted to annex Austria and make the Holy Roman Empire great again.
The Holy Roman Empire was once the overlord of Europe in the Middle Ages, and even the Pope ignored it.
"Now is not the time to argue."
The Roman Triumvirate arrives, followed by a group of Roman soldiers.
Constantine looked at Hohenzollern and Ferdinand and knew that there was some conflict between them.
Rome was not very willing to send troops to defend Vienna, but once Vienna was captured by the Huns, it would be really detrimental to other civilizations in the entire western continent.
The lips are dead, the teeth are cold, for the lords of this level, especially the player lords, they all know this truth.
Ferdinand gave up fighting with Hohenzollern: "According to the amazing advance speed of the Mongolian cavalry, the main force can reach the city of Vienna in less than 20 days. Its vanguard cavalry travels day and night. From Budapest to Austria, during this period, we can only gather 200,000 troops. Therefore, we must defeat its vanguard and ensure that reinforcements from all over the country continue to arrive in Vienna.”
Alexander said in a deep voice: "For the sake of fairness, we each send a force to stop the siege outside Vienna."
"It would be nice if we had winters like Moscow's in Vienna, hell."
Ferdinand felt a headache when he thought of the extremely difficult offensive and defensive battle of Vienna.
Although the cold winter is approaching, the cold winter in Vienna has no pressure at all for the Mongolian cavalry and Hun cavalry who have adapted to the cold weather.
The war that was originally scheduled to break out in the Kingdom of Hungary went bankrupt because Temujin and Subotai's cavalry corps advanced too fast, and the coalition forces of the Western lords had to choose to stop the coalition forces of Attila and Temujin in Vienna.
In a short period of time, the situation in the western continent has changed, and unexpected changes have occurred again and again.
The Grand Duchy of Moscow lost first and then won, successfully destroying the Golden Horde.
The demise of the Golden Horde caused a chain reaction in the western continent. Some of the remnants of the original Golden Horde fled to the Seljuk Empire for refuge, and some fled to the Hun Empire. Temujin and Attila formally joined forces. Tira pinned down the infantry of Alexander and Rome, while Temujin and Subotai led the cavalry to make a lightning raid on the Kingdom of Hungary, which led to the rapid collapse of the Kingdom of Hungary and was occupied.
The city of Budapest collapsed without a fight, and was easily breached by Subotai. The teleportation array in Budapest became the base for Attila to dispatch troops.
Among the Western lords, Alexander's own ability ranks first among the heroes of the Western Ming Dynasty, and he has several king-level generals, who are regarded as the number one enemy by Attila.
The three giants of Rome are in charge of twenty-two Roman legions and a large number of servants, and the Roman commander-in-chief is like a cloud, which is not easy to deal with.
Hohenzollern represents the interests of the German princes and knights behind the scenes. Germany is rich in martial arts and has a population of 30 million. It is actually a difficult enemy.
So Attila targeted the relatively weak Archduke of Austria with a population of 10 million, and successfully made a breakthrough.
During the decisive battle between Attila, Temujin and the western lord's allied forces, the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the east was officially promoted to the Russian Empire. The Senate appointed Ekaterina as the first tsar and saved Moscow's Tian became the prince of the Russian Empire.
