Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 696: Attila and Timur
The city of Vienna is full of billowing smoke. The black smoke covers the sky. The broken city walls have fallen stones. The militiamen of Vienna drag the bodies of dead soldiers and bury them in the city.
The army of Attila and Temujin attacked Vienna for several days. As a result, the number of defenders in Vienna was as high as 30,000!
The viciousness of Vienna's offensive and defensive battle exceeded Ferdinand's imagination. There were 100,000 professional soldiers defending Vienna, and 100,000 militiamen were recruited from Vienna, equivalent to 200,000 soldiers defending Vienna.
However, the ordinary conscripted militias were so panicked by the trebuchets owned by the Mongols that Ferdinand sent a supervising team to supervise them so that these militias would not escape.
However, even so, the morale of these militias would be greatly reduced when the Mongol trebuchets bombarded the city, and their combat effectiveness was almost negligible.
The trebuchet is not only powerful, but also has a deterrent effect on the soldiers' psychology, reducing the defensive strength of the defenders.
"At this rate, Vienna may fall in less than a month."
Ferdinand deduces the time of the fall of Vienna.
At the beginning, when the defenders were strong enough, the possibility of being captured by the barbarian army was relatively small. However, the further back, the strength of the defenders is insufficient, and the probability of being captured greatly increases.
A city as big as Vienna needs enough strength to defend.
"I hope Alexander, Caesar and others can organize troops to counterattack in time. Otherwise, I can't defend at all. You will convey my meaning to Alexander and the others."
Ferdinand was alone. So, he sent a team of Austrian cavalry to inform the Western lords such as Alexander and Caesar to ask for reinforcements.
Alexander and the others must regroup within a month to support Vienna.
A military general from the Grand Duchy of Austria led about several hundred elite cavalry, with full armor knights as the vanguard, forcibly breaking through the siege of the large army outside the city, and galloping towards Linz City, where Alexander and the others were located!
"Your Majesty, a cavalry successfully broke out of the city, and its direction is Linz City on the Danube! Their goal may be to ask Alexander for reinforcements, please Your Majesty must guard!"
When the Austrian cavalry broke through Vienna, Attila, the leader of the Huns, was the first to know the news, and he immediately summoned all his allies.
Attila naturally realized that the Western lord was gathering his forces to fight him for the second time.
The last time the Western lord army had not yet assembled, so Attila and the others had an absolute advantage in strength. This time, Alexander, Caesar and other lords deliberately left Ferdinand alone to stick to Vienna, delaying the progress of Attila and their attack, just to buy time to gather troops.
Attila couldn't let these Western lords gather their forces smoothly, otherwise the outcome would be unpredictable.
"Temujin, Subutai, I need your strength. You lead the cavalry to attack Linz and defeat the army of Western lords located there."
Attila intends to use Temujin's power again.
Temujin's face is not good-looking: "It is difficult to defeat them only with the strength and strength of me and Subutai."
Temujin is not a reckless person. The lords of the West together have an extremely large number of military and generals. Even if Temujin and Subutai join forces, it is impossible to reproduce the success of the surprise attack on the Kingdom of Hungary.
The coalition of Western lords and the famous generals owned by the Roman Republic included many king-level and imperial-level commanders. The cavalry of these generals may not be as terrible as Temujin and Subutai, but their bonuses to infantry or bowmen may be higher than that of Temujin and Subutai to infantry and bowmen.
And after the last war, the army of the Western lords had realized that Temujin would often use rushing or detouring cavalry tactics, and they would be prepared for this.
"I will personally go to Linz with you to deal with Alexander. This time I will definitely kill the pressure. My wounds are still aching."
Attila holds a grudge against Alexander after being stabbed by Alexander's companion cavalry in a previous melee.
"Yes."
Temujin once again joins forces with Attila.
This time the two sides have the experience of defeating Alexander together, so. They have no resistance to joining forces again.
"The pressure is high, and it doesn't seem as scary as you say."
In the battle with the Roman Legion, Gustav joined the Viking Berserkers with the Firearms Legion and defeated Pompey, one of the three giants of Rome.
He is not afraid of the three giants of Alexander and Rome, because he is a famous firearms general after the Renaissance, and his arms are much higher than those of the Roman legion.
Temujin couldn't help but glance at Gustav. He was always in awe of firearms such as the God Machine Battalion and the Swedish Musketeers. Firearms have natural restraint on cavalry. It can be said that the emergence of firearms has changed the situation of cavalry suppressing infantry.
If others say this, he may despise them, but Gustav has high-level firearms, so Gustav is indeed qualified to say this.
Even Alexander's companion cavalry might not be able to withstand Gustav's firearms corps. Unless the partner cavalry can cut to the front of the Firearms Corps and swing the saber. But before going hand-to-hand with the Swedish Musketeers, the Viking Berserkers had to be successfully defeated.
"Don't underestimate Alexander."
Attila knew, however, that if he hadn't united with the Ottoman Sultan Xu Lem to contain some of the Macedonian forces, otherwise, Alexander's troops might have been larger, and Gustav's firearms might not have been defeated.
Perhaps Gustav ignored Alexander and the Spartan warriors of the Greek city-state.
The Spartan warriors are perfectly capable of rivaling the Viking Berserkers, and may even have the upper hand.
In other words, the combination of the Swedish musketeers and the Viking Berserkers may not necessarily achieve the effect of fighting the Roman legion. The Spartans were transferred back to the Macedonian kingdom by Alexander to defend Greece and prevent the Ottoman Empire from attacking the Balkans.
Gustav doesn't seem to understand Attila's good intentions.
"Also, the number of official Roman legions that last fought us was only about six or seven, and all of Rome had 22 legions, and they also had some strong common legions. They weren't in battle yet." If they angered them again, the Romans would have done an eye for a tooth, an eye for an eye, because that was their code of conduct.”
"We all go to attack Linz, so who should besiege Vienna?"
"Timur was responsible for the siege of Vienna."
"Only by him?"
Gustav hesitated.
Temujin seems to have too much confidence in Timur's abilities.
"Believe me, he alone is enough to be a commander."
"Then Timur will be in charge of the siege."
Attila finally decided that Timur and Temujin would attack the city of Vienna together, while he and Temujin, Subutai and others bypassed Vienna and forced the army of the Western lords to fight a second decisive battle , without giving them any respite.
Attila's decision was quick and caught by the scouts of the Western lords. These Western lords deployed some scouts in Attila's army, and they could get news of each other at the first time.
Attila's order, the barbarian camp army once again gathered its forces and advanced rapidly, intending to take advantage of the cavalry's mobility. Pressing step by step, he intends to annex the entire Grand Duchy of Austria in one go, and even invade the German region.
Even if the city of Vienna, in their opinion, Timur commanded about 100,000 soldiers and 200,000 servants, enough to capture.
"The mission to capture Vienna is left to you, young Timur. If Vienna is captured, I can consecrate you as the king of the Kingdom of Hungary."
Attila made a promise to Timur in advance in order to win over Timur, the commander-in-chief.
Timur's eyes lit up when he heard Attila's condition.
His ambition made him very concerned about the title of king.
Attila is the emperor of the Huns, the leader of the barbarian camp, and he is indeed qualified to be crowned king. The Kingdom of Hungary is now the territory of Attila.
If he made Timur the king, then he was the king of Attila's vassal and became Attila's subordinate.
However, Temujin was still alive, and Timur did not dare to openly betray Temujin and join Attila, so he said to Attila: "The matter of the capture of Vienna, please rest assured, Your Majesty, leave it to me, and make the king the king. Forget it."
"When Vienna is captured, let's talk about the kingship."
Attila knew it wasn't easy to win Timur, and Temujin was no less capable than Attila. In the absence of additional system bonuses, Attila's abilities are not even as good as Temujin's.
In order to gain Timur's allegiance, one must show enough strength and give Timur enough benefits~IndoMTL.com~ Timur will serve him.
Thinking of this, Attila was not in a hurry to win Timur, but waited patiently for the opportunity. The immediate priority is to defeat the coalition of Western lords.
Temujin realized that Attila was trying to win over his subordinates. However, Temujin wanted to annex Attila's forces and obtain Attila's holy-level recruitment order to replace it, so he was still holding back. , indifferent. At the same time, it was also a test of his loyalty to Timur.
Linz, the Western lords are gathering their forces for the second battle with the barbarian camp represented by Attila.
Alexander was no longer in charge of coordinating the Western armies, as Alexander was still struggling with the offensive from the Ottoman Empire.
Taking over from Alexander was Horn Soren, Lord of the German Territory of the Holy Roman Empire.
"The lords of England were at war with Canute the Great in northern Europe, and Canute the Great's Yooms regiment swept the coastal areas of England, causing a lot of losses to the English, and the Scottish Highlands and England once again Conflict broke out. They were powerless."
Hohenzollern, in addition to gathering his own forces, is still looking for reinforcements everywhere. The shock that Attila brought to the Western Continent was too great.
Many Western lords know that if Attila wins again, there will be no lord in the Western continent who can resist Attila's front, and Attila's camp may re-establish order.
"Could it be that Ekaterina and Chutian in St. Petersburg haven't made any movement yet? With their personalities, they don't seem like people who are willing to be calm and indifferent."
Hohenzollern once again appealed to St. Petersburg for reinforcements, but nothing came of it. Chutian has changed the way of making troubles in Yogyakarta in the past, and there has been no movement for a long time.
