Chapter 692 Soldiers Arrive in Vienna

"It is a disgrace to our Grand Duchy of Austria to let the Mongolian cavalry come to Vienna!"

Archduke Ferdinand of Austria led a group of Austrian Habsburg generals to strengthen the city defenses of Vienna and demolished the houses outside the city before the arrival of the Mongolian cavalry.

Ferdinand already knew that the Mongolian cavalry had special siege equipment, the Xiangyang Cannon, and that they could not leave any materials outside the city for the Mongolian cavalry to use to attack the city. Otherwise, if Vienna fell, a major earthquake would occur throughout the West.

"My territory will decline after this war..."

Ferdinand witnessed Timur's Mongolian cavalry looting the supplies left by the villages and camps around Vienna, setting fires everywhere, and could do nothing.

The war provoked by Attila and Temujin broke out in his territory, which made Ferdinand extremely uncomfortable. Regardless of whether Attila's offensive can be defeated, the Archduchy of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary have suffered heavy losses.

A nobleman from the Grand Duchy of Austria said to Ferdinand: "Under the city is Timur, the founder of the Timur Empire, and a conqueror who is as notorious as Attila, Temujin, and Hulagu."

"Tamerlane, he is a strong enemy. None of the allies that Attila found are good people."

As the player lord, Ferdinand knew Timur's reputation, and he was also a conqueror who made Central Asia and West Asia fear.

There are a large number of kings and emperors in the Attila camp. These people are famous people. Some people are not only in Western civilization, but also in East and West.

"Tamerlane is ordering craftsmen to build counterweight trebuchets. They really plan to attack Vienna. Maybe we should go out of the city to attack and destroy Timur's intentions."

Ferdinand was terrified of the Mongolian cavalry preparing to attack Vienna and could not allow Timur to complete the preparations.

"His Royal Highness, Timur sent an envoy to Mongolia."

When Ferdinand prepared the cavalry to go out of the city and burn the Xiangyang artillery, Timur sent someone to give an ultimatum to Vienna.

The Mongolian envoy who arrived was contemptuous: "Master Timur, ask Vienna to surrender the city. He will guarantee the safety of everyone's life and property. On the contrary, if you choose to resist, then the day of breaking Vienna will also be the time of massacre of the city. At that time , the entire city will be turned into ruins, with corpses everywhere!"

The threat of Timur is by no means non-existent, because the Mongolian army had several records of massacres in the Persian Empire!

The nobles of the Austrian Grand Duchy were afraid of the Mongolian cavalry represented by Timur, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Go back and tell Timur that Vienna is his insurmountable barrier, this is the wall of Europe!"

Ferdinand did not succumb to Timur's threat. His determination made it too late for other Austrian nobles to consider whether to fight Timur to the death, and it was too late to repent.

Now it is necessary to fight Timur.

"Vienna will become a great city, and no one can cross Vienna and attack Western Europe."

"Let Timur go home and herd the sheep, this place is not suitable for him."

The nobles of the Grand Duchy of Austria broke their cans and smashed their cans. Since they decided to resist Timur, they can only fight Timur to the end, otherwise they will be massacred.

"You will regret it. Once we break through the city, we will massacre the city. If you ever regret it, you can take his head and sacrifice the city in exchange for the safety of the city."

The Mongolian envoys deliberately provoked mutual suspicion within the Austrian Grand Duchy, so they pointed directly at Ferdinand.

Ferdinand's face changed slightly.

If Vienna is really on the verge of falling, then it is really possible for this group of nobles to exchange his head for their own safety.

Under the city of Vienna, Timur looked up at this city that caused headaches for many Western Asian civilizations.

The Kingdom of Poland resists the expansion of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and Vienna resists the attack from the Balkan Peninsula. They are the shield of God.

After breaking through Vienna, Attila and his group will take the initiative in the western continent.

"Vienna, this city has accumulated a lot of wealth. If you break this city, you will get tens of thousands of gold and silver...I need to rely on my military exploits to be crowned king."

Timur looked up at this towering city, where dozens of tall towers stood, and archers were monitoring every move of the Mongolian cavalry below the city from the towers.

"No, the number of defenders on the city walls and towers has increased. They want to go out of the city to attack the trebuchets. Let's ambush them..."

Noticing the movement of the defenders in Vienna, Timur himself ambushed a detachment of cavalry.

Sure enough, Ferdinand ordered a general to lead a team of cavalry out of the city to attack the Mongols' siege equipment.

Timur personally led the cavalry in an ambush. When the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Austria went out to attack at night, ambushes broke out everywhere. More than a thousand Austrian cavalry were killed by Timur. The rest of the cavalry fled and returned to Vienna.

...

On the battlefield outside Vienna, Alexander was injured in the battle with Attila. He personally commanded his companion cavalry to attack Attila, and once killed Attila, only 40 meters away from Attila!

The two kings fought, and the partner cavalry and Shan Yu's guard were killed in the battle. This is the most powerful cavalry of the two.

Alexander's Macedonian Kingdom prevented Attila from advancing to the Balkan Peninsula, and Attila wanted to get rid of it and hurry up!

Attila joined forces with Sultan Hyrem to attack the Kingdom of Macedonia, and almost killed Alexander's close friend, which completely angered Alexander. The two kings became evenly matched enemies out of various conflicts of interest.

In the melee, Alexander personally beheaded dozens of cavalry who were Shanyu's guard, but was wounded by Attila's arrow in the end.

During the battle, Attila was stabbed by Alexander's companion cavalry.

The two kings who were evenly matched fought, and ended with the leaders of both sides being injured.

The army of the Hunnic Empire was disturbed because of Attila's injury. After a little hesitation, Hephaestion led his partner cavalry to rescue Alexander.

Even though Attila's camp used the cavalry of Subotai, the king of field battles, to defeat Alexander's general Antigonus and make the western army passive, but the western army retreated smoothly with hundreds of generals invested in this battle.

The attack and defense of Vienna began only in the suburbs, and as many as 100,000 soldiers were killed on both sides.

The Roman legion suffered heavy losses in the war, and the Pompey legion lost nearly half of its troops and lost confidence.

"Fortunately, no Eagle Banner fell into the hands of Attila. If Attila captures our Eagle Banner, our Rome will be discredited, and our prestige will not be enough to form a great empire."

Caesar was very eager to establish the Roman Empire, and at the same time he was still worried about the eagle flag of the Roman Legion falling to the Han Empire.

Since losing three eagle flags in the third national war, they have cherished the eagle flags of each legion very much. Even if they are defeated, they cannot lose even one eagle flag.

Constantine was also taking stock of his losses, with one of the Roman legions suffering heavy losses.

Hohenzollern's Sword Knights were attacked by Temujin in this battle. The entire Sword Knights lost thousands of people, and the Teutonic Knights also suffered considerable losses.

"It is said that Temujin's Qi Xue army has suffered heavy losses in the previous series of battles. I did not expect that he could severely damage the Sword Knights with the remaining Qi Xue army. If he has a complete Qi Xue army, maybe even The Knights of Dun will also be hit hard by Temujin..."

Hohenzollern personally interrogated the wounded knights of the Order of Swords who had been wounded in the battle with the Kexel army.

"The Knights of the Sword have let you down."

Albert, the head of the Knights of the Sword, felt guilty for losing to Temujin.

Hohenzollern patted Albert on the shoulder: "Albert, Temujin is a more ferocious enemy than Attila, as long as the Knights of the Sword are not completely wiped out, the Knights of the Sword can be reorganized in the future. "

Hohenzollern did not blame Albert, as long as the heroes of the Teutonic Knights could be recruited, then with the population of the Holy Roman Empire, the Knights of the Sword and the Teutonic Knights could be re-established.

"Alexander was injured in this battle, and the Macedonian army had to rest... But Alexander was really crazy, he just injured Attila under such circumstances, and prevented the Huns from pursuing..."

Hohenzollern thought of Alexander attacking Attila and wounding Attila, so he was also afraid of Alexander.

Alexander dared to take the initiative to kill Attila with inferior cavalry, which may threaten the Holy Roman Empire in the future.

In addition to dealing with Attila and Temujin, Hohenzollern is also guarding against Alexander.

"Alexander intends to rest in Linz City and use the local teleportation array to regroup his troops."

"Leaving a light cavalry to contain Attila's attack on Vienna, our troops will need time to assemble, and we cannot completely rely on the teleportation array in Linz City. A teleportation array can only dispatch more than 10,000 troops a day. We need to use Bohemia Teleportation arrays in places like Asia."

After a brief discussion, a group of German princes finally decided to take a rest like Alexander and others.

His German Legion also suffered heavy casualties in this battle.

"The Macedonians and the Germans have begun to withdraw their troops. It seems that they can only believe that Ferdinand can hold Vienna. As long as he holds Vienna for a period of time, we can gather more troops to relieve the siege of Vienna."

The Big Three of Rome also realized that the battle with Temujin and Attila was not that simple. They had only 70,000 to 80,000 troops in the battle outside Vienna, and 20,000 to 30,000 died, which made the Big Three of Rome hold their breath.

It is also a shame for the Big Three in Rome.

The supporting armies retreated to Linz Castle upstream, and used the local teleportation array to dispatch troops, and the city of Vienna became an isolated city in a short time.

If Ferdinand was unable to hold Vienna within a short period of time, then the Grand Duchy of Austria would be captured by Attila and Temujin, and the barbarian coalition forces that annexed Austria and Hungary would have more servants.
