Chapter 698 The Lord of the West and Attila (2 in 1)

On the banks of the Danube, the coalition forces of Western lords deployed their defenses along the Danube. This time, thirteen great lords assembled their forces to meet Attila's army.

Lord Louis of France and Queen Isabella of Castile, two new lords joined the coalition of Western lords. This time almost all the lords in Europe participated in the decisive battle against Attila's army, and the number of troops invested was astonishing.

Some players from the Western Continent even risked their lives to witness this epic battle in the Western Continent in person.

It is the nature of every civilization to love to watch liveliness.

The great lords who participated in the war were all king-level figures, equivalent to the princes of the various states of the Han Empire, and they were also obstacles to Attila's unification of the western continent.

If this group of western king-level figures can be defeated, then almost no one can stop Attila and his group from carving up the western continent and establishing more than a dozen kingdoms headed by Attila.

On the contrary, if Attila is defeated, the threat of the Hunnic Empire to the western continent will basically be lifted, and it will be a matter of time before Attila is wiped out by the western lords.

"That is the Queen of our Kingdom of Castile, His Majesty Isabella, her Spanish phalanx is high-level infantry, invincible in the Iberian Peninsula."

"I didn't expect that the Kingdom of Castile would also send an army to deal with Attila. I thought she would just watch from the sidelines. It seems that Attila's arrival in Vienna has caused panic among the kingdoms, so they decided to join forces to suppress Attila." pull."

"Attila can be regarded as angering the Western lord this time."

On the other side of the Danube, these Western players can witness a huge army deploying defenses along the bank of the Danube.

It was clear that the armies of the Western Lords wanted to meet Attila here.

Players from the Western Continent saw the elite army that these kings might not be willing to use.

The legions participating in this war come from different civilizations and are the elite divisions of their respective civilizations.

When the life and death of the Western Continent were at stake, the kings of the various kingdoms were under pressure and still used the elite of their respective civilizations.

"You people leave this place, otherwise, you will be affected by the flames of war and killed by the ferocious Attila."

A group of Templars appeared to drive away the players from the Western Continent who were trying to watch the battle from the sidelines.

In the eyes of these Templars, this is a holy war against a demonic figure from the east - Attila. Anyone who has nothing to do with the war should leave this place.

But in fact, Attila is just a slightly smaller hero, and Westerners tend to demonize these conquerors.

"This is the Knights Templar of France, one of the three major knight orders, and they have firm beliefs."

Players watching the battle in France can easily recognize the logo of the Knights Templar, which is too obvious.

"I didn't expect that two of the three major knight orders will be dispatched in this war-the Teutonic Knights and the Templar Knights. I don't know if the Hospital Knights will arrive on the battlefield."

"What's the difference between the three knight orders?"

"It is said that the Teutonic Knights have the largest scale, and the Templar Knights have the strongest beliefs. The Hospitaller Knights have healing skills and can save lives and heal the wounded. Each knight order also has its own marks and abilities. Two of the three major knight orders this time A knight order is dispatched, and Attila may encounter trouble in this battle."

"Attila has been harassing our Western Continent for more than a year, it's time to defeat him."

Players in the Western Continent also hold a grudge against Attila, because Attila has brought millions of casualties to the Western Continent.

"These strangers, what are they doing?"

The Big Three of Rome spotted the Western Continental players who were watching the battle, and frowned slightly.

These players may be killed in the melee of the cavalry on both sides, and they have not yet realized the cruelty of this battle.

In the last battle, the coalition forces of the western lords killed 100,000 people, but in this war, the kings of the various kingdoms believed that at least 200,000 people would be killed or killed.

This is also the painful price that must be paid to defeat Attila.

Even with the lord of France and the queen of Spain joining the war, the situation is not optimistic, and victory or defeat is possible.

Hohenzollern served as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the Western lords, and deployed a large army along the Danube, especially strengthening the defense to the rear, so as to avoid the situation of being surrounded by Subotai and Timur last time.

As long as they are not surrounded by eastern cavalry, then for the western lord's army with two major knight orders, they may not be inferior to any cavalry of Temujin'a and Tira in a head-to-head confrontation.

Among the coalition forces of the Western Lords, there are two well-equipped knight troops, mainly from Germany and France, two countries rich in knights.

Spain's large phalanx can barely deal with Gustav's firearms corps, while Rome has excellent heavy infantry, as well as from . Crossbowmen of the city-state of Genoa.

If there is a disadvantage to the coalition forces of the Western lords, it may be the lack of a huge light cavalry force like Attila. Western lords could not have such a large number of light cavalry, because the light cavalry of Attila and Temujin came from the Great Plains of Eastern Europe, or the Mobei Plateau. Other terrains in the western continent do not have such a vast plain, so they sacrificed farming in favor of cultivating a huge light cavalry force.

"Constantine, is that your Genoese Crusaders?"

Caesar and Pompey had been keeping an eye on Constantine's legions.

Genoa is also part of the Roman region, where high-quality crossbows are abundant, and they came to Linz through the teleportation array.

This legion is equipped with expensive steel crossbows, which can easily pierce the armor of noble knights at close range. Although it is a disgraceful thing to shoot through a knight's armor with a crossbow, it is very practical. No one would reject a practical battlefield weapon.

"Caesar, it was you who made an agreement with me at the beginning. I occupied Genoa, you occupied Venice, and Pompey occupied Sicily. I recruited crossbowmen in Genoa, which should not have violated our original agreement. The heavy infantry and Mediterranean fleet you recruited in Venice , and I did not interfere with you."

"Konstantine, I don't mean that."

Although Caesar was wary of Constantine, on the surface the three of them were allies of Rome and tried to avoid internal strife.

In addition to the Genoese Crusaders, Constantine brought with him the Carthaginian legions.

This legion came from North Africa, and the source of its troops came from a powerful city-state civilization in Tunisia. The Carthaginian legion had a mixed force of elephants, cavalry, and infantry that could rival the Roman legion.

Constantine's vision was one step further than that of Caesar and Pompey. He regarded North Africa as his colony and focused his expansion on North Africa, thus obtaining a large number of servants.

"Maybe we should also expand into North Africa instead of elsewhere."

Caesar was very jealous when he found that Constantine gained a large number of people and vassals from his conquest in North Africa, because Constantine benefited greatly from it, and his power was almost equal to that of Caesar and Pompey combined .

"Although we in France have lost the core hero of Joan of Arc, we still have the Knights Templar, as well as the brave feudal knights, the civil army, and the peasant army. This time to deal with Attila, we must revive our French prestige."

Louis, the lord of France, participated in this huge war. He led one hundred thousand French legions out of the teleportation array in Bohemia, and then joined Linz to participate in the war in time.

There are 100,000 French legions, including more than 5,000 knights. Rows of knights in white robes and red crosses led their horses on a march, and hung shields, spears, bows and arrows on the saddles. They wore strange helmets, showing only a pair of eyes, and participated in this great campaign with enthusiasm.

This group of knights has amazing beliefs, some of them are Templar knights, and some of them are French feudal knights, that is, noble knights.

"I don't know whether the Teutonic Knights are stronger or the Templar Knights are better."

Hohenzollern saw the Knights Templar. He hadn't tried the Teutonic Knights against the Knights Templar, so he couldn't tell the winner.

"These civilizations are stronger than I imagined. If I want to conquer them, I cannot be their opponent alone. Together, they are stronger than anyone else."

Alexander witnessed this huge war preparation with his own eyes, and the characteristic arms of various civilizations emerged in endlessly.

He faintly realized that, with the ability of the Macedonian Kingdom, it was already quite strenuous to deal with one of the great civilizations. If two of the great civilizations joined forces, the Macedonian Kingdom might be wiped out.

The Western Continent still maintains a delicate balance - the great civilizations dare not annex each other, because among the great civilizations, if one of the powerful civilizations rises, then other civilizations may join forces to suppress them to avoid being annexed by the rising powerful civilization.

"Wang, if you want to conquer these civilizations, you may need to provoke them to fight and let them consume each other before you can unify the western continent. This time, with the credit of the king for injuring Attila, if you can capture the capital of the Hun Empire, Your prestige will be unprecedented. Coupled with the conflicts that provoke the various civilizations in Europe, perhaps you may become the king of all Europe."

"Eumenes, what you said is not without reason."

After listening to Eumenes' suggestion, Alexander probably had something in his mind. However, Attila is currently an obstacle they must overcome.

Attila's threat to the Western Continent is too great, and it must be eliminated first and then quickly.

Attila's army is only a hundred miles away from Linz!

Mongolian general Subotai served as the vanguard!

"Subutai, Subutai again!"

The Western lords couldn't help being shocked.

It was Subotai that led to the last war, and the various lords in the West were passive.

"Let us Templars defeat Subotai's soldiers."

Louis from Paris, France, wanted to see the front of the Mongolian cavalry.

"The Knights Templar, which are suitable for decisive battles, should not be wasted here."

Hohenzollern's Sword Knights suffered heavy losses due to Temujin's cavalry attack. In order to prevent the French Templars from repeating the same mistakes before the decisive battle began, he resisted the impulse of the French lords.

For Louis, he may be able to get points, but in the eyes of other Western lords, especially those who have already fought against the Mongolian cavalry, it may be an initiative for the French iron can to fight the vanguard of the Mongolian cavalry who are good at maneuvering. To deliver the head.

"Are the Mongolian cavalry really that powerful? Are they more terrifying than the last national war?"

Louis is not a mediocre person, he can unify France, and soon realizes that he seems to have underestimated Subotai's ability. In the last national war, the French were defeated by Temujin's cavalry.

Subotai's vanguard cavalry is rapidly approaching hundreds of thousands of western lord coalition forces!

Soon, the Mongolian cavalry and western knights could already see each other's war horses!

Historically, the Mongolian cavalry once defeated the Eastern European coalition forces in the Kingdom of Hungary.

This time, they were facing heavy knights from Central and Western Europe. The impact of knights is no less than that of any heavy cavalry, including elite full-body plate armor knights.

"Your Majesties, the army of resisters is ahead. Their strength is at least hundreds of thousands of people."

Attila and Temujin commanded the army and approached Linz. The Western lords had already deployed a large number of troops along the Danube River. There were hundreds of thousands of people, and the scale was even more exaggerated than the previous war.

"Sure enough, these kings can't have enough time to gather the legion, otherwise they will continue to consume our troops. They must be completely destroyed!"

Attila agreed with the other king-level leaders that all Western lords must be completely destroyed and their lands occupied.

The armies of both sides lined up along the Danube River, and Temujin had a sense of uneasiness that this battle was no worse than the last one.

This time the kings of the West not only came prepared, but also joined hands with the two major knights, they were strong enough to contend head-on with the cavalry of Temujin and Attila.

"Temujin, are you scared?"

Attila could sense that Temujin seemed hesitant, so he took the initiative to ask.

"No, I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about defeat, and I can't be defeated." Facing Attila's questioning, Temujin did not retreat, "The lord of the East, Chutian, and Tsar Yeka who recently established the Russian Empire Terina, it is very likely that your capital will be attacked. Don’t you worry that your capital will be breached? Once your capital is compromised, your control over the territory will collapse overnight.”

"I have left generals to assist Bleda and defend the capital. They will teach the enemy who attacked the capital a lesson. If necessary, Temujin, you use the teleportation array to go to my royal city and fight your old opponent again."

Knowing that Temujin had been defeated by Chutian many times, Attila deliberately provoked a fight between Temujin and Chutian, and let Temujin deal with his old opponent.

"No."

Temujin is not very willing to confront Chutian recently, probably because of the psychological shadow caused by repeated defeats.

No matter who it is, he loses to the same opponent many times, and he is no longer willing to confront him.

So did Genghis Khan Temujin.

Attila did not force Temujin, he also needed Temujin to deal with the frontal army of the western lords: "Don't worry about attacking the army of the western lords, it will take time for them to attack the king's city with cavalry. During this time, we have already Step over the corpses of the lords of the West."

Temujin couldn't help but look at Attila more. Attila obviously had confidence in defending the capital of the Hun Empire, so he was confident.

Think about it carefully, before Attila got Temujin and Gustav as allies, he was not defeated by Alexander's offensive, and he also conquered Poland and Lithuania in the war, killing the original king of Bohemia. May not have captured some heroes of civilization for their own use.

Attila is very cunning, taking advantage of the contradictions between civilizations, coercing and luring, and winning allies for himself, it should not leave a few trustworthy generals to guard the house.

It is not easy to try to annex Attila's tribe. If you are not careful, Attila will annex your own tribe.

Temujin was coveting Attila's power, and Attila was coveting Temujin's talent, and the two legends joined forces in a strange way.

"That is the army of Attila, the whip of God? Even the king of Poland and the grand duke of Lithuania were defeated by Attila, and the king of Bohemia was killed by him. In the war not long ago, even Alexander was injured in the melee..."

Queen Isabella of Castile hung a sword around her waist, standing on a high place, and other great lords in the west, looking at the camp of the Hunnic Empire on the opposite side, there were many banners, and there was no end in sight.

There are too many troops on the battlefield, so that it is impossible to deploy such a large number of troops on one battlefield.

Together, the two sides have millions of troops, divided by broken terrain, rivers, woods, swamps, hills, and the warring sides are facing extremely complex terrain.

The complexity of the terrain gave even the most brilliant commander a headache.

A battlefield can accommodate up to three auras of the whole army, and the broken terrain divides the battlefield, and each battlefield must be stacked with the highest bonus, so the number of generals with auras of the whole army is very high.

The Spanish phalanx of the Queen of Castile was on the right flank, covered by woods and wooden fences, and there were a few Spanish arquebusers in the Spanish phalanx.

According to the advanced level, the Swedish line phalanx of King Gustav of Sweden is actually superior to the Spanish phalanx of the Queen of Castile, because the Swedish phalanx is based on the Spanish and Netherlands phalanxes. Improved results.

However, in the world of "Lord" where cold weapons are popular, the Swedish phalanx may not necessarily be better than the Spanish phalanx.

The proportion of pikemen in the Spanish phalanx is higher than that of arquebuses. They pay attention to the defense against arquebuses. They are deeper and are not easy to be broken by cavalry and infantry.

In the Swedish phalanx, the proportion of arquebus gunners is higher than that of pikemen, focusing on the output and mobility of arquebus gunners, and the depth is shallow. When attacked by cavalry, if the pikemen with fewer numbers than arquebus gunners cannot withstand the impact of cavalry, they are easy to be attacked. crushed.

It can be said that in "The Lord", the cavalry is still the king of the field. Therefore, the concept of the Spanish phalanx may not be behind, and it has its own advantages and disadvantages with the Swedish phalanx.

The Queen of Castile's opponent was Gustave.

"The Knights Templar will help you defeat Gustav, the knights are not far behind."

In order to win over Queen Isabella of Castile, Lord Louis of France sent the Knights Templar to cooperate with the Spanish phalanx.

As the great lords of Western Europe, they aimed at the Nordic lion Gustav.

"I hope the Knights Templar will not disappoint me."

Isabella's force does not seem to be low. In fact, the expansion ambitions of the queens of some European kingdoms are not weaker than the kings.

"The Knights Templar will not let you down. King Visigoth was suppressed by us. I believe you have seen the strength of the Knights Templar."

"The Knights Templar are indeed very powerful, but our Spanish Knights of Santiago are not inferior."

Isabella's eyes fell on her army. In addition to the Spanish phalanx, there was also a knight order and javelin cavalry in her army.

Just as France has the Knights Templar and Germany has the Teutonic Knights, Spain also has the Knights of Santiago, but the reputation of the Knights of Santiago is far inferior to the three major knights.

The knights of this order wear a white cloak, marked by a red sword-shaped cross, and the red sword-shaped handle and gauntlet end in the shape of a lily.

However, the thirteen knight leaders of the San Diego Knights wore black cloaks and square hats.

The Thirteen Knights no longer belonged to the high-level arms, but the ranks of generals, but their strength was different.

The Santiago Knights could not compete with the three major European knights, but they were still a characteristic unit of Spanish civilization, and it was also the sharp sword Isabella used to defeat the enemy.

"The Macedonian army is good at fighting in the mountains. It is in the mountains on the left flank to contain the opponent's flank. Our Germans cooperated with the Roman infantry and cavalry to defeat Attila head-on. Attila was injured in the last melee. I don't know his injury. Whether he has recovered or not. If his injury does not recover, then this is an opportunity to eliminate him, otherwise, we will be in a hard fight. But in any case, victory belongs to us.”

The seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire, some of them are players, and some are NPCs. At this time, they have become the mainstay of the Western Continent.

There were dozens of German princes who came to participate in the battle, and their troops were strong.

"The Archduke of Austria suffered heavy losses after this battle. The new Holy Roman Emperor may be Hohenzollern."

Among the seven electors, six of them, intimidated by the prestige of Hohenzollern, discovered that Hohenzollern had unknowingly become the leader of the German region.

The only competitor to compete with Hohenzollern for the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Ferdinand of Austria, suffered heavy losses in this war, and his strength was far inferior to Hohenzollern.

If Hohenzollern personally commanded this battle and won the victory, then he would definitely take the prestige gained from the victory and ascend to the position of Holy Roman Emperor.

The status of the Holy Roman Empire is already at the level of an empire, a level higher than civilizations such as the Kingdom of France and the Kingdom of Spain.

Hohenzollern was relatively calm, it was up to people to plan, and it was up to God to make things happen. This time, the coalition forces of the western lords had gathered enough troops and were no longer so passive.

The last defeat must be regained this time.

"Attila, let's fight again, I will kill you."

Alexander hated Attila, his old enemy.

It would be fine if Attila fought his Macedonian army head-on, but Attila has been keeping him in check, and encouraged the Ottoman Empire to attack the Macedonian Kingdom to resolve the internal conflicts of the Ottoman Empire.

"The other two legions still can't catch up with this big battle in time..."

Constantine transferred the Genoese Crossbow Legion, the Carthaginian Legion, and four Roman legions, making a total of six legions.

The commander-in-chief of the Carthaginian Legion is Mirka Bacca, a famous Carthaginian civilized general, and the father of the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal. He is not as capable as Hannibal, but he has the nickname "Lightning".

The commander of the Genoese Legion was Andrea Doria, an admiral of the Genoese civilization.

Although the ability of naval generals on land will be greatly reduced, some naval generals are also excellent bow and crossbow commanders.

A Roman legion has about 5,000 to 6,000 people, while the Genoese and Carthaginian legions are much larger.

Constantine's lineup made both Caesar and Pompey jealous.

If the generals are regarded as the wealth of the various lords, then Constantine has more property than Caesar and Pompey at present.
