Chapter 687: Sultan Shrem
The city of Vienna, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Austria, is also a shield against Attila and Temujin's coalition forces smashing Europe.
The infantry-based legions of Alexander and Caesar were feinted by Attila. The cavalry of Temujin and Subotai crossed the Carpathian Mountains, attacked the Kingdom of Hungary by surprise, and quickly captured Budapest, the royal city of the Kingdom of Hungary.
Temujin and Subutai often used the combat concept that the eastern soldiers are precious and fast, which shocked the western continent. Alexander, Caesar and other NC legendary heroes paid more attention to the influence 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 Subotai began to march towards Vienna, intending to surround Vienna and disable the teleportation array in Vienna.
The armies of both sides met outside Vienna, and were harassed by Mongolian cavalry and Hun cavalry.
Budapest, the royal city of the Kingdom of Hungary, the Polish King led the Polish Winged Cavalry Legion, and Gustav led the Swedish Firearms Legion, the Swedish Cavalry Legion, and the Umus Battle Group to this city.
"It is unimaginable that Temujin and his generals captured the Kingdom of Hungary so quickly, and the Kingdom of Hungary was powerless to fight back under their storm-like offensive."
The King of Poland admired Temujin and Subotai's rapid march and siege capabilities. Their prestige made the defenders of the Kingdom of Hungary flee.
"But how did he lose?"
Gustav looked at this city that was very prosperous not long ago.
The advancing speed of Temujin and Subodei was astonishing, but from the side, Gustav couldn't help but wonder how terrible it would be to defeat Temujin's Chutian and Ekaterina coalition forces.
Gustav's siege of St. Petersburg was fruitless, and he retreated in time, so he did not fight Chutian and Ekaterina.
However, Gustav still gained enough benefits from this national war. He subdued the Viking hero Olaf, occupied several cities in the northern border of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and extorted two sums of military expenses from Attila.
"Gustav, Jagiello, Vytautas, I will lead you to victory."
Under the leadership of Shan Yu's guards, Attila personally came to meet the three great lords of the Western Continent.
Gustav, the Nordic lion, dared to provoke Ekaterina.
Jagiello,
The King of Poland, together with Grand Duke Vytautas, governed the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. After being defeated by Attila, he finally chose to stand in Attila's camp out of the interests of the kingdom and his personal arrest by Attila.
Jagiewo, King of Poland, didn't seem to be very optimistic about this battle: "Attila, I fought against Hohenzollern not long ago. His Teutonic Knights are larger than before, and there are brave German hands The swordsmen and my hussars have lost a lot. Damn, this time there are Alexander, Caesar, Pompey and others!"
Attila didn't seem to care much about the Polish king calling him by his first name. Anyway, Jagiewo just had to follow his orders.
"Jagiewo, believe me, Temujin, Gustav, we join forces, not many people are our opponents, neither Caesar nor Alexander."
"Damn it, if they are so easily defeated, then they won't be unable to annex each other!"
"Jagiello, stop complaining."
Grand Duke Vytautas worried that Jagiello, who had a close relationship with him, would anger Attila, and Attila would let the Hun generals who watched them chop them up, so he hurriedly stopped Jagiello.
"Trust me, all you can do is trust me."
Attila was a little dissatisfied with Jagiello, who was outspoken, but before dealing with Alexander and the others, he could not clash with the few allies.
Like Chutian, Attila had only a handful of allies, so he also cherished every ally. Gustav asked for military expenses, and Attila did as he wished.
Jagiewo was still muttering: "Speaking empty words will not kill Alexander."
"Temujin has already fought with Alexander and others outside Vienna. You must assemble your respective armies as soon as possible, and then immediately go to Vienna to join us."
Attila ordered someone to bring an imperial war horse and get on the horse.
Attila often led troops to fight in person, so like Temujin, he personally led the cavalry to attack Alexander, which is also reasonable.
"As long as my arquebus phalanx arrives, Alexander's Macedonian legion and Caesar's Roman legion are vulnerable in front of the musket phalanx. Before the arrival of the firearms phalanx, I will lead a team of cuirassiers to act with you. Once captured Vienna, I need a third military payment."
In order to obtain more gold and silver from Attila, Gustav took the initiative to lead a group of Swedish cavalry to act together with Attila.
Attila's whip pointed in the direction of the city of Vienna: "Gustav, wealthy Vienna, this is the third military expenditure I paid you. After breaking the city, I will let your army take the lead in looting for half a day!"
In the city of Vienna, whether the defenders or the civilians, the hearts of the people were scattered. The cavalry led by Temujin and Subotai were not far from the city of Vienna. They were resisted by the coalition forces of the Western lords. Shin-Subodei's cavalry advanced.
The advancing speed of Temujin and Subotai's cavalry was too terrifying, so Alexander, Caesar and others had to deal with it themselves instead of sending generals to defend against the enemy, because it was very likely that they could not resist!
Eumenes, who was the secretary, presented a piece of information from the Kingdom of Macedonia to Alexander. He usually had a calm expression, but now his voice was trembling: "King, something is not good."
"Eumenes, what's wrong with you? This is not your usual style."
Alexander's face turned slightly pale when he received the information from the Kingdom of Macedonia.
Constantine, the lord of the Roman Republic, was keenly aware of the changes in the expressions of his allies: "Alexander, Vienna is a huge city and fortress that Ferdinand has managed for many years. Even if Attila and Temujin came in person, it is impossible to capture the city of Vienna. At present, there are at least 200,000 defenders in Vienna. When Attila's main force arrives, there may be 300,000 or even 400,000 defenders, and there are hundreds of thousands of reinforcements outside."
"If it was just Temujin and Attila, I would not be afraid. But the Ottoman Empire attacked my territory without declaring war."
After experiencing the initial surprise, Alexander quickly regained his composure.
"Ottoman Empire, why did they join the war?!"
The face of Hohenzollern, the lord from the Holy Roman Empire, also changed. He knew that the Ottoman Empire was not a weak civilization. The timing of the rise, perhaps the Ottoman Empire is already in the Mediterranean, an empire that is challenging the Kingdom of Macedonia and the Roman Republic.
Now, after three years of chaos, the Ottoman Empire reappeared in front of the world, and as soon as it appeared, it would forcefully insert itself into the Great War on the Western Continent!
As a Western Asia, the goal of the Ottoman Empire is not necessarily Western Asia, but wants to conquer the Western Continent.
The Ottoman Empire borders the Kingdom of Macedonia, so the Ottoman Empire intervened in the war, and the goal is self-evidently the Balkan Peninsula controlled by Alexander, especially the Greek city-states!
The Ottoman Empire wants to take advantage of this opportunity to expand and annex the Kingdom of Macedonia!
"Sultan Shrem, how could there be a female sultan!"
Constantine immediately opened the leaderboard and saw that the current sultan of the Ottoman Empire was Shrem, a legendary hero of the Ottoman Empire. It is said that his origin was not Turk, but Ukrainian.
In any case, she is actually classified as a legendary hero of the Ottoman Empire.
"As a female sultan, she immediately launched a war against the Macedonian Kingdom as soon as she came to power, either to divert the internal contradictions of the Ottoman Empire, win external wars, and consolidate her dominance; or because Attila lobbied to let her I fell into Attila's camp. No matter what the reason is, I must dispatch some elites to return to the Kingdom of Macedonia and defend Thrace, Thermopylae and other places."
Alexander was taken aback by Attila's diplomatic offensive. No one could have imagined that the Ottoman Empire, which was originally in chaos, would suddenly intervene in the war on the Western Continent.
The Ottoman Empire was an Asian civilization.
"So the Janissaries, Sipahi cavalry, and Kurdish cavalry have also begun to intervene in the war."
Pompey, the giant of Rome, was a little bit numb. I really don't know how many civilizations from the western continent will be involved in this battle.
In the fourth national war, in the first year, Central Asia and Mobei fought, and the sky was dark. In the second year, the western continent was in chaos, and various civilizations began to divide their camps and fight.
"Leonidas, Solon, Pericles, you return to Greece to resist the attack from the Ottoman Empire, Lysimachus, you go to Thrace to prevent the Ottoman Empire from attacking from land"
Alexander recalled some of his troops, and even sent the elite Spartan warriors, as well as Lysimachus, one of his seven personal guards, back to the Kingdom of Macedonia.
"This is Attila's trap. The Macedonian Kingdom's forces have been dispersed, and they may not be able to stop the Ottoman Sultan. Unless Alexander sends half of the generals, or goes back in person, he can repel Sultan Hyrem."
Constantine had seen through Attila's strategy, but he could do nothing because they couldn't come up with conditions that would satisfy Sultan Hyrem.
As a player, Hohenzollern also speculates about the purpose of Sultan Shrem: "This woman is really crazy. She wants to use war to divert domestic conflicts. Madwoman of Sudan"
