Chapter 683 The surprise attack on Hungary (2/2 at noon)
"Atila, his target is Hungary, sent out half a million cavalry!"
Alexander joined forces with the three giants of Rome to pull the cavalry at Attila on the border, but suddenly received information from the scout who sacrificed his life to send back.
Whether Alexander or the three giants of Rome, the most excellent legion or infantry were not as many cavalry as the Huns, and they were relatively passive.
Therefore, General Alexander had many knights, and Ferdinand, who had many Hungarian Hussars, led to a war with the Hunter Empire.
When Attila's army suddenly changed into the Kingdom of Hungary, and the Macedonian Legion was pulled by Attila's cavalry, the Roman Legion was in a dilemma.
Alexander asked the clerk Eumenis: "Can accurate information be obtained? Is it Attila himself or Temujin's surprise attack on Hungary?"
Eumenis's expression was calm: "The Hun Empire has begun to blockade the news in a comprehensive manner. All cities are martial law, and the Huns' cavalry troops are away all year round and are uncertain. But it is highly likely that Temujin, Subutai leads the cavalry to attack Hungary. The Austrian Grand Duke leads troops to attack the Kingdom of Poland. The Hungarian Kingdom has empty defense. Under Temujin's offensive, it may be irresistible and will be defeated soon."
"The Hungarian Empire will cut off the Holy Roman Empire and our Macedonian Kingdom in half and form a semi-encirclement of our Macedonian Kingdom. Is Attila going to fight us to the death in Hungary?"
Alexander was weighing whether to attack the capital of the Hunter Empire or to support the Hungarian Kingdom.
"Seleucus, speak your opinion."
Alexander looked at Seleucus (the founder of the Seleucus Empire), the captain of the Shielded Guard. At the same time, Seleucus was also a rare general under Alexander who possessed a war elephant army.
Seleucus was very young at this time, just like other Alexander's generals, and could still fight for decades. He was also one of the generals of Alexander's kingly army.
Seleucus had not shown much ambition in front of Alexander, just as Timur dared not rebel in front of Temujin.
Ambition-strong people have to surrender when they meet stronger people.
As the captain of Alexander's shield guard, Seleucid was another hero who established an empire. He thought for a moment: "If Attila decided to fight the king's decisive battle with the king in the Kingdom of Hungary, wouldn't he be right with the king's will?"
"Indeed, Attila's light cavalry is unstable. If he fights me head-on, then he will definitely be defeated. I wanted to invite the king of the East, the Grand Duke of St. Petersburg, who have excellent light cavalry generals and a large number of light cavalry. We join forces to defeat Attila easily."
Alexander dismounted and held a shield guard. The silver shield soldiers immediately lined up to protect Alexander and prevented Attila's cavalry assault.
Although the Macedonian Kingdom, which is famous for its infantry, also had cavalry and other cavalry troops, facing the Hun Empire with cavalry characteristics and Temujin, who was at the peak of cavalry during the Cold Weapons, the cavalry was still at a disadvantage.
Eumenis said: "King, the lords of the East are reluctant to send troops, nor do they refuse our request. Most of them want to watch the wall and consume our troops."
"Your guess is very correct. This is the plan of the lords of the East. If I were in their position, the decisions made would only be exactly the same as them. Tell the three giants of Rome to restrain Attila with one force, and we go to Hungary to force Attila to fight to the decisive battle."
After consideration, Alexander chose to fight Attila and Temujin in the Kingdom of Hungary.
Attila and Temujin seemed to want to fight the Western coalition in the Kingdom of Hungary, take the opportunity to take over the Kingdom of Hungary, block the offensive from Germany and Austria, and then destroy the Kingdom of Macedonia from both directions.
The situation in the Kingdom of Macedonia is quite dangerous.
Alexander left a commander and more than ten generals to lead 100,000 Macedonian soldiers to stay in the northeastern border of the Macedonian Kingdom, and himself led the army to rescue the Hungarian Kingdom.
The Macedonian phalanx formed by 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 of five hundred war elephants.
On the battlefield, tall war elephants can have a deterrent effect on unprepared cavalry legions, making war horses afraid and retreat.
"Seleugu obtained the king's personal robbery with his war elephant army, and the king even handed over the shield guard to him to command."
Macedonian general Antico was jealous of Seleucid's war elephant army. He only had one eye left, and his eyes had a blood color caused by long-term lack of sleep.
Seleucus' status was not as good as him, but Seleucus could recruit special war elephants and his status in the Kingdom of Macedonia was rising steadily.
Seleucus was only a second-level general, and now he has become a first-level general, which is the core general level of Alexander.
"Antiko, how many people are left in your legion?"
A Macedonian general came on a war horse and asked Antico.
Antico's only remaining eye shrank, and the person who came to ask him was Alexander's close friend and commander of his partner cavalry, Hefestion.
Hefestion is a bit handsome and can rank at the forefront among Alexander's generals, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the commander of the important partner cavalry by Alexander.
Antico would be jealous of Seleucci, whose status was rising rapidly, but he was not jealous of Hefester, because Hefester's position in Alexander's heart was irreplaceable.
Unless Hefestion died of battle or illness, Alexander would consider letting the next general whom he trusted serve as commander of his partner cavalry.
Antico said, "My legion, there are still forty thousand men."
Hefestion nodded: "In the battle of the Kingdom of Hungary, the king intends to appoint you as a pioneer."
Antico did not dare to rebel when he was ruled by Alexander: "The king's army must be invincible."
"Attila uses attack as a defense, which is beyond my expectations. The Kingdom of Hungary has several teleportation arrays. We can use the teleportation array to go to the Kingdom of Hungary as soon as possible and defeat Attila and Temujin. Last time we suffered a loss at Temujin, Crassus was captured by Temujin. This time, we want to avenge the previous shame and avenge the Roman legion's eagle flag captured by Temujin."
After receiving information from Alexander, Caesar, after discussion, commanded 70,000 troops, joined forces with Alexander, and marched towards the Kingdom of Hungary.
"Why did Attila choose to attack the Kingdom of Hungary? Does he want to open up a new battlefield, from passive to active?"
Constantine was guessing Attila's intention. Although he suspected that Attila had other intentions to transform the battlefield into the Kingdom of Hungary, his allies had already chosen to gather in the Kingdom of Hungary, so he had to follow him to the Kingdom of Hungary.
Austrian Grand Duke Ferdinand learned that Attila suddenly changed his target to attack the Kingdom of Hungary, which was the territory he controlled, and his face changed. He immediately withdrew his troops and returned to defend the Kingdom of Hungary.
"Ferdinand, his territory was attacked by Attila..."
The Teutonic Knights of the German lord Hohenzollern were fighting with the winged cavalry of the Kingdom of Poland. The battle flags were clamoring on the Pode plains. Teams of Teutonic Knights charged at the Polish winged cavalry, while the Polish winged cavalry bravely fought back without giving in.
The Polish cavalry and the Teutonic knights also had a great grudge.
The battle between the two sides lasted for a day. Under the fierce counterattack of the Polish winged cavalry, the Teutonic Knights' offensive was blocked and there was no winner yet.
When Hohenzollern received the news that Attila suddenly turned to the Kingdom of Hungary, he was stunned for a moment and decided to withdraw his troops.
"The Teutonic Knights retreated!"
The Polish king witnessed the Teutonic Knights and the German princes leaving like a tide, wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
Hohenzollern's population is more than 30 million, three times more than the Polish Kingdom. It is too much pressure for the Polish Kingdom to block the German princes' coalition and the Teutonic Knights.
"His Majesty Attila asks you to lead the winged cavalry to fight 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 participate in the war.
The Polish king's face turned pale and had to obey Attila's orders. Moreover, the relationship between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Holy Roman Empire was not very good. If the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Holy Roman Empire win, the Kingdom of Poland is likely to be divided.
"I will command the Polish winged cavalry in person and go to the Kingdom of Hungary."
Weighing the future of the kingdom, the Polish king was still forced to stand in Attila's camp and use barbarian civilization to weaken the strength of the powerful enemy, the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Holy Roman Empire.
Otherwise, even without this civil strife on the Western continent, the future Poland and Lithuanian Commonwealth would be sandwiched in the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Holy Roman Empire and would eventually be divided up.
All the Western lords suddenly transformed their target into the Kingdom of Hungary.
Attila's main force has never fought a decisive battle with the Western continent's empire. Its main force suddenly appeared in the Kingdom of Hungary, and captured more than 30 cities in seven days. The Kingdom of Hungary fell halfway, which shocked the entire Western continent!
In order to quickly conquer the city, Temujin borrowed a siege-type general from the Ily Khanate to speed up the occupation of the Hungarian Kingdom!
Even Alexander, Ferdinand and others could not imagine that Temujin was sieging so fast, and the defenders of the Kingdom of Hungary were retreating step by step, and more defenders surrendered directly when they saw the front of the Mongolian cavalry.
"Temujin was defeated many times, and there were so many military generals. His Khanate could also give birth to many heroes..."
