Chapter six hundred and ninety second approaching Vienna
"It is a shame for our Austrian Grand Duchy to actually let the Mongolian cavalry come to Vienna!"
Austrian Grand Duke Ferdinand led a group of Austrian Habsburg generals to strengthen the city defense in 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 Xiangyang cannons, and could not leave any materials outside the city for the Mongolian cavalry to use for siege, otherwise Vienna would be lost and a major earthquake would occur in the entire West.
"My territory will decline after this war..."
Ferdinand witnessed Timur's Mongolian cavalry plundering the supplies left by villages and camps around Vienna, setting fires everywhere, and helpless.
Attila and Temujin launched a war that broke out in his territory, making Ferdinand extremely uncomfortable. Whether or not Attila's offensive could be defeated, the Grand Duchy of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary had suffered heavy losses.
A player noble from the Austrian Duchy said to Ferdinand: "Under the city is Timur, the founder of the Timur Empire, and a notorious conqueror like Attila, Temujin and Hulagu."
"Temur, he is a powerful enemy. None of the allies found by Attila are good people."
As the player lord, Ferdinand knew Timur's reputation, and he was also a conqueror who feared Central Asia and West Asia.
There are many kings and emperors in Attila's camp. These people are famous people, and some are not only in Western civilization, but also in the world.
"Timur is ordering craftsmen to build counterweight trenchers. They are indeed planning to attack Vienna. Maybe we should go out of the city to attack and destroy Timur's intentions."
Ferdinand was afraid of the Mongolian cavalry that were preparing to attack Vienna and could not allow Timur to complete the preparation smoothly.
"Your Highness, Timur sent an envoy to Mongolia."
When Ferdinand was preparing the cavalry to go out of the city to burn Xiangyang artillery, Timur sent someone to issue an ultimatum to Vienna.
The arrival of Mongolian envoys looked contemptuous: "Mr. Timur, if you ask Vienna to surrender, he will ensure your life safety and wealth. On the contrary, if you choose to resist, then the day of breaking Vienna will be the time to massacre the city. At that time, the entire city will become a ruin with corpses everywhere!"
Timur's threat is definitely not false, because the Mongolian army has recorded several city 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.
"You go back and tell Timur that Vienna is an insurmountable barrier, and this is the wall of Europe!"
Ferdinand did not succumb to Timur's threat. His determination made other Austrian nobles not have time to consider whether to fight Timur to the end, so he had no time to repent.
Now we have to fight Timur.
"Vienna will become a great city, and no one can cross Vienna and attack Western Europe."
"Let Timur go home and shepherd sheep, it's not suitable for him."
The nobles of the Austrian Grand Duchy gave up. Since they decided to resist Timur, they could only fight Timur to the end, otherwise they would be massacred.
"You will regret it. Once you break through the city, we will massacre the city. If you really regret it, you can use his head and open the city to offer it to the city in exchange for the safety of this city."
The Mongolian envoy intended to arouse mutual suspicion within the Austrian Grand Duke, so he pointed directly at Ferdinand.
Ferdinand's face changed slightly.
If Vienna is really on the verge of fall, then these nobles may really use his head to exchange for their own safety.
Under the city of Vienna, Timur looked up at this city that made many Western Asian civilizations feel headaches.
The Kingdom of Poland blocked the expansion of the Tsarist Russian Empire, while Vienna blocked the attack from the Balkans, they were the shield of God.
By breaking through Vienna, Attila and his group of people will take the initiative in the Western continent.
"Vienna, this city has accumulated a lot of wealth. If you break through this city, you will get tens of thousands of gold and silver... I need to rely on my military achievements to be named king."
Timur looked up at this towering city, dozens of tall towers stood, and archers were monitoring the every move of the Mongolian cavalry under the city.
"No, the number of defenders in the city walls and towers has increased. They want to go out of the city to attack the catapults. We ambush them..."
Timur noticed the movements of the Vienna defenders, so he personally ambushed a team 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 to ambush. When the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Austria came out of the city to attack at night, ambushing up everywhere. More than a thousand Austrian cavalry were killed by Timur. The rest of the cavalry fled in panic and returned to the city of Vienna.
...
On the battlefield outside Vienna, Alexander was injured in the battle with Attila. He personally commanded his partner cavalry to assault Attila and once came to Attila. He was only forty meters away from Attila!
The two kings fought, and the partner cavalry and the Shanyu guards were killed in the battle. These were the most powerful cavalry of the two men.
The Macedonian Kingdom of Alexander stopped Attila from advancing towards the Balkans, Attila wanted to get rid of it and get it done quickly!
Attila joined forces with Sultan of Xurem 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.
During the melee, Alexander personally killed dozens of cavalry of the Shanyu guards, but was eventually injured by Attila's arrow.
Attila was stabbed by Alexander's companion cavalry during the battle.
The two evenly matched kings fought and ended with the injury of the leaders of both sides.
The Hun Empire's army was disturbed by Attila's injury. After a little hesitation, Hefestion led his companion cavalry to rescue Alexander.
Even though Attila's camp defeated Alexander's general Antico with the cavalry of the field king Subutai, causing the Western army to be passive, hundreds of generals invested in this battle and retreated smoothly.
The offensive and defense in Vienna began, with as many as 100,000 soldiers killed on both sides in the suburbs.
The Roman legion suffered heavy losses in the war, and the Pompei legion lost nearly half of its troops and lost confidence.
"Fortunately, no eagle flag fell into Attila's hands. If Attila captured our eagle flag, our Rome would be discredited and our prestige would not have established a great empire."
Caesar was very eager to establish the Roman Empire, and was still resentful that the eagle flag of the Roman legion fell on the Han Empire.
Since losing three eagle flags in the third national war, we have cherished the eagle flags of each legion. Even if we are defeated, we can no longer lose even one eagle flag.
Constantine was also counting his losses, one of the Roman legions suffered heavy losses.
In this battle, Hohenzollern's Sword Knights were assaulted by Temujin, and the entire Sword Knights lost thousands of people, and the Teutonic Knights also suffered considerable losses.
"It is said that Temujin's Qixue Army has suffered heavy losses in the previous series of wars. Unexpectedly, he can severely damage the Sword Knights with the remaining Qixue Army. If he had a complete Qixue Army, maybe even the Temujin's Knights would be severely damaged by Temujin..."
Hohenzollern personally asked the injured Knights of the Swords, who were injured in the battle with the Cyxue army.
"The Knights of Swords have disappointed you."
Albert, the leader of the Sword Knights, felt guilty about it because he lost to Temujin.
Hohenzollern patted Albert on the shoulder: "Albert, Temujin is a more brutal enemy than Attila. As long as the Sword Knights are not completely wiped out, then the Sword Knights can be reorganized in the future."
Hohenzollern did not blame Albert. As long as the heroes of the Teutonic Knights could be recruited, the population of the Holy Roman Empire could be reorganized and established the Sword Knights and the Teutonic Knights.
"Alexander was injured in this battle, and the Macedonian army had to rest... But Alexander was really crazy. He injured Attila under this situation and blocked the pursuit of the Huns..."
Hohenzollern thought of Alexander attacking Attila and injuring Attila, and was also afraid of Alexander.
Alexander dared to take the initiative to kill Attila with his inferior cavalry, which may threaten the Holy Roman Empire in the future.
In addition to dealing with Attila and Temujin, Hohenzollern was also guarding against Alexander.
"Alexander plans to rest in Linz City and use the local teleportation array to regain troops."
"Leave a light cavalry to restrain Attila from attacking Vienna. Our troops also need time to gather. We cannot rely entirely on the teleportation array in Linz. A teleportation array can only dispatch more than 10,000 troops in a day. We need to use the teleportation array in Bohemia and other places."
After a simple discussion, a group of German princes finally decided to rest and recuperate like Alexander and others.
His German Legion suffered heavy casualties in this battle.
"The Macedonians and Germans have begun to withdraw their troops. It seems that they can only believe that Ferdinand can defend Vienna. As long as he defends Vienna for a period of time and we can gather more troops, we can save the city of Vienna."
The three Roman giants also realized that the battle with Temujin and Attila was not that simple. Their Rome had only 70,000 or 80,000 troops in the war outside Vienna, and 20,000 to 30,000 were killed, which made the three Roman giants hold their breath.
This is also a shame for the three giants of Rome.
The supporters retreated to Linz Castle upstream and used local teleportation arrays to dispatch troops. The city of Vienna became an isolated city in a short time.
