Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 695: Vienna attack and defense
"Attila's cavalry has come to Vienna!"
As Timur prepares to attack the city of Vienna, the defenders of Vienna city witness God's Whip, Attila, the leader of the Huns, Temujin, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, and Gustav, the king of Sweden. , the King of Poland, the Archduke of Lithuania, and the King of Ostrogoths came under the city and besieged Vienna.
Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Vienna, an important city, and surrounded the strong city of Vienna, resulting in the city's water leaking!
Ferdinand looked at the city from above, and the army of Attila's camp could not see the end at a glance, and it was terrifying.
Among this group of enemies, not only the Cowardice Army, but also the Shanyu Guards, Polish Winged Cavalry, Gothic Warriors, and Arquebusiers.
They also brought craftsmen, who were even more feared by the defenders of Vienna, who could forge a large number of siege machines that could be used to capture the city of Vienna.
In the defense of the city, the craftsmen's threat to the fortified city is even higher than the elite cavalry.
"This time defending Vienna may be the most tragic attack and defense."
Ferdinand realized that Attila and other barbarian leaders, or the kings who were drawn by Attila to attack Central and Western Europe, were bound to win the city of Vienna.
After repelling Alexander and other Western lords, Attila smoothly joined Timur and Subutai to surround Vienna together.
Vienna has become a bridgehead to contain the allied barbarian army. Only by defending Vienna can you buy time for reinforcements to arrive.
If it falls early, either the Western Allied Forces will be forced to engage the Huns camp for a second time, or they will be forced to retreat backwards, retreating again and again, stretching the supply lines of the Huns, and then trying to defeat Ati pull.
However, this method does not seem to be very effective for the Eastern cavalry, because Temujin and Attila will use the mobility of the light cavalry to quickly raid and swept the surrounding towns to obtain food, grass and weapons. To ease their logistical pressure, it is not as great as the pressure faced by the Western lords, which is also the advantage of Temujin and Attila.
Vienna has become the shield of Europe, its mission is to block the attack of Temujin and Attila's army.
"I didn't expect Alexander, Caesar and others to be defeated so quickly. They left me alone and stood firm in Vienna. Regardless of the battle, my strength would be greatly damaged. But in the face of such a situation, I also There is no alternative, the coalition has done its best, no matter Alexander, Rome, or Germany, they all paid a heavy price, and the number of them together killed more than 100,000..."
Unlike Alexander, Hohenzollern, and Caesar, Alexander and other lords could retreat again and again, and they still had a way to retreat, but Ferdinand could not retreat again and again, because Vienna was his last stronghold.
The defeat of the Western lord was quite sudden, and Ferdinand had not expected it.
Now, the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Austria, who are sticking to Vienna, are finally panicking.
Previously, Timur had sent envoys to ask them to surrender Vienna. However, Ferdinand rejected Timur's proposal.
At that time, the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Austria did not take it seriously, and together they insulted Timur. When the cavalry of the nomadic civilization represented by Attila and Timur appeared, the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Austria immediately regretted the decision they made at that time, and they seemed to underestimate each other.
Only Timur can hold Vienna.
This time Attila and Temujin brought hundreds of thousands of people.
In case Vienna is really captured by the barbarian army, Attila and his allies will not miss the opportunity to loot or even massacre the city. For them, the city of Vienna is the richest city in the Grand Duchy of Austria, with a population of It is several times more than the second largest city, so the wealth accumulated by Vienna is also quite amazing, which is why Attila wants to take Vienna and the Grand Duchy of Austria.
Occupying these two civilizations and obtaining supplies will be very beneficial for the next attack and defense.
Ferdinand looked at the siege towers and giant trebuchets standing outside the city: "Everyone, don't be afraid, we have the confidence to hold Vienna and stop any enemy's attack on Europe."
"Prepare for a siege!"
Timur ordered the giant counterweight trebuchet to be built by artisans.
Before the arrival of Attila and Temujin, Timur had already made adequate preparations. He defeated the cavalry troops in the city who wanted to sneak out of the city many times. Several generals under his command have shown amazing abilities, which have caused great headaches for the Western lords.
Timur is now basically able to stand on his own and become a leader.
Before the official storming of Vienna, they seemed to realize that the city of Vienna was very strong and difficult to attack, so Attila and Temujin sent envoys to try again to recruit the people of the Grand Duchy of Austria.
Ferdinand's reply was exactly the same as before, refusing to surrender to Attila and Temujin, intending to fight to the end.
Boom!
The angry Attila gave the order to storm Vienna. The boulders fell, bombarding the city walls and towers of Vienna, trying to smash the towering city walls!
Before the army officially attacks, use the trebuchet to destroy the city defenses!
Vienna's city walls, towers, and horses trembled in front of meteor-like fireballs and boulders. Soldiers hit by fireballs and boulders were instantly killed!
This time, Attila used the power of Temujin again. Temujin had the Xiangyang Cannon and the siege generals transferred from the Ilkhanate!
"How could the Mongolian trebuchets be so powerful!"
Only when you are really on the defensive side can you know the horror of the Mongolian trebuchets.
Ferdinand looked up at the sky, and dozens of boulders dragged with black smoke crashed down, and the defenders showed a terrified expression!
In "Lord", the power of siege equipment not only depends on the siege equipment itself, but also the special bonuses that weapons with siege characteristics will bring to siege equipment, which can greatly improve the attack power. The power of city equipment!
With the ninth-order siege equipment and the bonus of the siege generals, the boulders thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon were enough to cause terrible damage to the towers of Vienna Castle. The smashed towers appeared one after another cracks, and the rubble fell!
Ferdinand was a little hysterical. He understood why the war between the lord of the Persian Empire and the Ilkhanate was so tragic.
"Temujin has a lot of talents."
Attila's eyes focused on one of Temujin's commanders. This commander was a famous siege commander specially transferred by Temujin from the Ilkhanate. All trembling under the bombardment of Xiangyang Cannon.
It is said that this general is a Han Chinese who served for the Mongol Empire. He has captured dozens of cities in the Persian Empire, and there is no strong city that can stop him.
Attila couldn't help but admire the quality of Temujin's generals. Temujin's talents came from the Mongol Empire, the four major Khanates, and five civilizations. The accumulation of decades to hundreds of years is far better than that of Temujin. Attila is deeper.
The generals of the Ilkhanate are commanding various siege machines to attack Vienna.
"Dig the tunnel!"
Attila not only used siege equipment, but also adopted siege methods such as digging tunnels, trying to make the defenders powerless and forcibly capture Vienna.
He also knew that he couldn't stay in Vienna for too long. The lords of Rome, Macedonia, and Germany were still calling for reinforcements. A steady stream of reinforcements gathered from all directions. Soon, the lords of the West could organize a second coalition. , to counterattack.
As long as the territories of these Western lords are not captured, the populations of their territories will continue to provide troops.
It starts to snow in Vienna, but Attila's army is still in the cold winter, forcibly attacking Vienna!
Both the Huns and the Mongol cavalry are capable of fighting even in the cold winter, not to mention Gustav's Norse Legion.
They drove a large number of servants, and the black servants came to Vienna. These servants came from the Kingdom of Hungary and the Grand Duchy of Austria. They were used by Temujin and Attila as cannon fodder to fill the trenches and ditches in Vienna. moat!
Boom!
Another fireball landed on the city wall. The moment the fireball hit the city wall, it broke apart. Several defending soldiers were injured by gravel and flying flames, and a small piece of the city wall collapsed!
There are moats and trenches outside Vienna, but the hundreds of thousands of servants who were driven by Attila, like livestock, forcibly filled the trenches and moats with dirt and corpses, and attacked Vienna for the army of the barbarian camp and siege equipment Pave the way!
The shadow cast by the siege towers of the barbarian camp on the ground, driven by hundreds of cannon fodder infantry, pressed against the city walls of Vienna, and the ground trembled!
There are thirteen giant siege towers with a height of more than ten meters!
Trebuchets and siege towers are a nightmare for defenders.
"Burn the siege tower!"
Ferdinand ordered the archers to release rockets ~IndoMTL.com~ to try to burn down Attila's siege tower, and to organize death squads to set fire to the city!
The Mongolian cavalry and the Huns were covering the siege equipment close to the city wall. Once the defenders left the city and attacked, they immediately stepped forward and killed them.
Siege towers, ladder cars, chariots, and siege machines are thrown into the offensive and defensive battle of Vienna!
Vienna's defensive battle was very tragic. Ferdinand personally directed the defense, and the military generals of the Grand Duchy of Austria guarded each section of the city wall and faced the constant bombardment of trebuchets and struggled to defend.
A general of the Grand Duchy of Austria was injured by the flames of the fireball thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon, screaming on the city wall.
The siege tower of Attila's army is approaching. The sharpshooters standing on the siege tower use their long bows to shoot down the defenders!
Vienna's towers are fighting back against the siege towers, and even Attila's carefully prepared siege towers are not as tall as Vienna's towers!
However, the Vienna defenders faced not only the towering siege towers, the Xiangyang artillery throwing meteorites, but also the approaching tunnels, the ant-infested servant army, Attila, Temujin and others. The attack on Vienna came from all directions, and both sides continued to invest their forces.
Hundreds of large and small ballistas deployed on the Vienna city wall began to show their might.
On the first day of Attila's attack on Vienna alone, the number of servants killed was as high as 20,000!
Thousands of the defenders in Vienna were killed, and this was only the first test by both sides.
Attila's plan to break through Vienna quickly went bankrupt. The barbarian army was nailed to the city of Vienna, unable to move for a short time, and it seemed that a longer siege had begun.
