In the city of Vienna, billowing thick smoke was everywhere. The black smoke covered the sky, and stones fell from the damaged city walls. The Vienna militiamen dragged the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle and buried them in the city.

Attila and Temujin's army attacked Vienna for several days, resulting in the death of as many as 30,000 defenders in Vienna!

The tragic offensive and defensive battle in Vienna exceeded Ferdinand's imagination. There were 100,000 professional soldiers defending Vienna, and 100,000 militiamen were recruited from the city of Vienna, which was equivalent to 200,000 soldiers defending the city of Vienna.

However, the ordinary conscripted militiamen were terrified of the catapults owned by the Mongols, and Ferdinand needed to send a supervising team to supervise them, so that these militiamen would not run away.

However, even so, the morale of these militiamen will drop significantly when the Mongols' catapults bombard the city, and their combat effectiveness is almost negligible.

Catapults are not only powerful, but also have a deterrent effect on soldiers' psychology and reduce the defensive strength of defenders.

"At this rate, Vienna may fall in less than a month."

Ferdinand deduces when the city of Vienna fell.

When the defenders were sufficient at the beginning, the possibility of being captured by the barbarian army was relatively small. However, the further you go to the back, the defenders are not strong enough, and the probability of being captured will increase significantly.

A city as big as Vienna needs enough strength to defend it.

"I hope that Alexander, Caesar and others can organize troops to counterattack in time. Otherwise, I will not be able to 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 Alexander and Caesar and other western lords first, asking for reinforcements.

Alexander and the others must regroup their troops within a month to support Vienna.

A general of the Grand Duchy of Austria led about a few hundred elite cavalry, led by knights in full armor, forcibly broke through the siege of the army outside the city, and galloped towards Linz where Alexander and the others were located!

"Your Majesty, a group of cavalry has successfully broken out of the city, and its direction is the city of Linz on the Danube River! Their goal may be to ask Alexander for reinforcements, please be on guard, Your Majesty!"

When the Austrian cavalry broke out from Vienna, Attila, the leader of the Hunnic Empire, heard the news for the first time, and he immediately summoned all his allies.

Attila naturally realized that the western lords were gathering their forces for a second decisive battle with him.

The last time the army of the western lords had not yet assembled, so Attila and the others had an absolute advantage in strength. But this time, Alexander, Caesar and other lords deliberately left Ferdinand alone to defend the city of Vienna, delaying the progress of Attila's attack, just to buy time to gather troops.

Attila could not allow these western lords to gather their troops smoothly, otherwise the outcome would be unpredictable.

"Tiemujin, Subotai, I need your strength. You lead the cavalry to attack Linz and defeat the western lord's army located there."

Attila intends to use Temujin's power again.

Temujin's expression was not good: "It is difficult to defeat them only with the strength and strength of Subotai and me."

Temujin was not a reckless person. The Western lords combined had an extremely impressive military strength and number of generals. Even if Temujin and Subodei joined forces, it was impossible to reproduce the success of the surprise attack on the Kingdom of Hungary.

The coalition of Western lords, the famous generals owned by the Roman Republic, among them are many king-level and emperor-level commanders. The cavalry of these generals may not be as terrifying as Temujin and Subotai, but their bonus to infantry or crossbowmen may be higher than that of Temujin and Subotai to infantry and crossbowmen.

Moreover, after the last battle, the western lord's army has realized that Temujin will often use cavalry tactics of rushing or roundabout,

They will guard against it.

"I will personally go to Linz with you to deal with Alexander. This time, I must kill Pressure Alexander. My wound is still painful."

Attila had a grudge against Alexander after being stabbed by Alexander's fellow cavalrymen in the previous melee.

"Can."

Temujin once again joined forces with Attila.

This time the two sides have the experience of jointly defeating Alexander, so. They have no resistance to joining forces again.

"The pressure is huge, and it doesn't seem to be as terrible as you said."

In the battle with the Roman Legion, Gustav joined forces with the Viking Berserkers with the Firearms Legion to defeat Pompey, one of the Roman Big Three.

He is not afraid of Alexander and the Big Three of Rome, because he is a famous firearms general after the Renaissance, and his arms are much higher than that of the Roman Legion.

Temujin couldn't help but look at Gustav more, he was always afraid of firearms such as Shenji Battalion and Swedish Musketeers. Firearms have a natural restraint on cavalry. It can be said that the emergence of firearms changed the situation in which cavalry suppressed infantry.

If others said this, he might still despise the other party, but Gustav has high-level firearms, so Gustav is indeed qualified to say this.

Even Alexander's partner cavalry may not be able to resist Gustav's firearms army. Unless the buddy cavalry can cut in front of the Firearms Corps and swing their sabers. But before fighting hand-to-hand with the Swedish musketeers, they must successfully defeat the Viking berserkers.

"Don't underestimate Alexander."

However, Attila knew that if he hadn't united with Sultan Shrem of the Ottoman Empire to contain some of the troops of the Macedonian Kingdom, otherwise, Alexander's troops might have more generals, and they might not be able to defeat Gustav's firearms army.

Perhaps Gustav overlooked Alexander and the Spartans of the Greek city-states.

Spartans are perfectly capable against Viking Berserkers, and may even have the upper hand.

In other words, the combination of Swedish Musketeers and Viking Berserkers may not necessarily achieve the same effect as when fighting the Roman Legion. The Spartan soldiers were transferred back to the Kingdom of Macedonia by Alexander to defend Greece and prevent the Ottoman Empire from attacking the Balkans.

Gustav didn't seem to understand Attila's good intentions.

"Also, the number of official Roman legions that fought with us last time was only about six or seven, while the entire Rome has 22 legions, and they also have some powerful ordinary legions. They haven't entered the battle yet. The last time I got angry If you kill them, the Romans will definitely retaliate with an eye for an eye, because this is their code of conduct."

"We are all going to attack Linz, so who should besiege Vienna?"

"Timerer was responsible for the siege of Vienna."

"Only relying on him?"

Gustav couldn't help hesitating.

Temujin seems to have had too much confidence in Timur's abilities.

"Believe me, he alone is enough to be commander-in-chief."

"Then Timur will be in charge of attacking the city."

Attila finally decided that Timur and Temujin would attack the city of Vienna together, and he, Temujin, Subotai and others bypassed Vienna and forced the Western lord's army to fight a second decisive battle. Any respite for them.

Attila's decision was quick, and was noticed by the scouts of the Western Lords. These western lords deployed some scouts in Attila's army, and they could learn about each other's news at the first time.

At Attila's order, the barbarian army gathered its troops again and advanced quickly, intending to take advantage of the mobility of the cavalry. Pressing harder and harder, intending to annex the entire Grand Duchy of Austria in one go, and even invade the German region.

Even the city of Vienna, in their view, Timur's command of about 100,000 soldiers and 200,000 servants is enough to capture.

"The task of capturing Vienna is entrusted to you, young Timur. If the city of Vienna is captured, I can make you the king of the Kingdom of Hungary."

In order to win over Timur, the commander-in-chief, Attila made a promise to Timur in advance.

After hearing Attila's conditions, Timur's eyes couldn't help but shine.

His ambition made him very concerned about Feng Wang.

Attila is the emperor of the Hunnic Empire and the leader of the barbarian camp. He is indeed qualified to be king. Now the Kingdom of Hungary is already the territory of Attila.

If he made Timur the king, then he was the king of Attila's vassal state and became Attila's subordinate.

However, Temujin was still alive, and Timur did not dare to openly betray Temujin and seek refuge with Attila, so he said to Attila: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the capture of Vienna will be entrusted to me, and the matter of being crowned king will not be ignored for the time being." .”

"Then let's capture Vienna and then talk about the kingship."

Attila knew that it was not easy to win over Timur, and Temujin was no less capable than Attila. In the absence of additional system bonuses, Attila's ability is not even as good as Temujin.

If you want to gain Timur's allegiance, you must show enough strength and give Timur enough benefits, so Timur will work for you.

Thinking of this, Attila was not in a hurry to win over Timur, but patiently waited for the opportunity. The first priority is to defeat the coalition of Western Lords.

Temujin realized that Attila was wooing his generals, but Temujin wanted to annex Attila's forces and obtain Attila's holy recruitment order to replace them, so he was still forbearing and indifferent. At the same time, it was also a test of his loyalty to Timur.

In Linz, the western lords are gathering their forces for the second battle with the barbarian camp represented by Attila.

It is no longer Alexander who is responsible for coordinating the Western army, because Alexander is still struggling to deal with the offensive from the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

Alexander's successor in command was Hohenzollern, lord of the German region of the Holy Roman Empire.

"The lords of England are at war with Canute the Great in Northern Europe, and Emperor Canute's Umus Corps is plundering the coastal areas of England, causing considerable losses to the English, and another conflict broke out between the Scottish Highlands and England .They are powerless."

Hohenzollern, in addition to gathering his own troops, 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 soldiers, 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 asked St. Petersburg for reinforcements, but nothing came to pass. Once Chutian changed his old style of causing trouble, he remained silent for a long time.
