"Attila's cavalry has arrived at the city of Vienna!"

When Timur was preparing to attack the city of Vienna, the defenders of the city of Vienna witnessed the whip of God, Attila, the leader of the Hun Empire, and Temujin the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Gustav, the king of Sweden, and the king of Poland. , the Grand Duke of Lithuania, and the Ostrogothic King came to the city and besieged Vienna.

Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Vienna, an important city, and surrounded the fortified city of Vienna, causing the city of Vienna to be impenetrable!

Looking at Ferdinand from the city, the army of Attila's camp could not be seen at a glance, covering the mountains and plains, which made people tremble with fear.

Among this group of enemies, there are not only the Kexue Army, but also Shanyu Guards, Polish Hussars, Gothic Warriors, Arquebusers and other arms.

They also brought in craftsmen who made the defenders of Vienna even more fearful. These craftsmen could build a large number of siege equipment for the capture of Vienna.

In the battle of defending the city, the threat of artisans to a solid city is higher than that of elite cavalry.

"Defending Vienna this time may be the worst offense and defense."

Ferdinand realized that the barbarian leaders such as Attila or the kings who were recruited by Attila to attack Central and Western Europe were bound to win the city of Vienna.

After repelling Alexander and other Western lords, Attila successfully joined Timur and Subotai to surround Vienna.

Vienna has become a bridgehead to contain the barbarian coalition forces. Only by defending Vienna can we buy time for the arrival of reinforcements.

If they fall early, either the Western Allied Forces will be forced to fight the Hunnic army for the second time, or they will be forced to retreat, retreating again and again, stretching the supply line of the Hunnic Empire, and then trying to defeat Attila.

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 loot the surrounding towns, obtain food, grass and weapons, and relieve their pressure. The logistical pressure is not as great as the pressure faced by the Western lords, which is where Temujin and Attila's advantages lie.

Vienna has become the shield of Europe, and its mission is to block the attacks of the armies of Temujin and Attila.

"I didn't expect Alexander, Caesar and others to be defeated so quickly. They left me alone and stood firm in Vienna. No matter what the battle is, my strength will be greatly damaged. But in the face of such a situation, there is nothing I can do. The coalition forces I have tried my best, whether Alexander, Rome, or Germany, they all paid a heavy price, and the number of their common deaths is more than 100,000..."

Unlike Alexander, Hohenzollern, and Caesar, Alexander and other lords can retreat again and again, and they still have a way out, but Ferdinand cannot retreat again and again, because Vienna is the last stronghold of his painstaking efforts.

The defeat of the western lords was sudden and unexpected to Ferdinand.

Now the nobles of the Austrian Grand Duchy who were sticking to Vienna finally fell into panic.

Before Timur sent envoys, asking them to surrender Vienna. However, Ferdinand rejected Timur's proposal.

At that time, the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Austria didn't take it seriously and insulted Timur together. When the cavalry of the nomadic civilization represented by Attila and Timur appeared, the nobles of the Austrian Grand Duchy suddenly regretted the decision they made at that time, and they seemed to have underestimated each other.

Only Timur, they 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 let go of 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 the second largest population. There are several times as many large cities, so the wealth accumulated in Vienna is quite amazing, which is why Attila wanted to take Vienna and the Grand Duchy of Austria.

Occupy these two civilizations,

Obtaining supplies is very beneficial to the next offense and defense.

Ferdinand looked at the siege towers and giant trebuchets standing outside the city: "Everyone, don't be afraid. We are confident that we will defend Vienna and block any enemy's attack on Europe."

"Prepare to attack the city!"

The giant counterweight trebuchet built by Timur's craftsmen is ready.

Before the arrival of Attila and Temujin, Timur had already made sufficient preparations. He defeated the cavalry units in the city who repeatedly wanted to go out of the city to attack. It can be seen that his ability is powerful. All the generals showed amazing abilities, which caused the western lords a lot of headaches.

Timur can basically be alone now and become a leader.

Before officially attacking 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 everyone in 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!

Attila, furious and angry, gave the order to storm Vienna, and huge boulders fell, bombarding the city walls and towers of Vienna, trying to smash down the towering city walls!

Before the army officially attacks, first use the trebuchet to destroy the city defense fortifications!

Vienna's city walls, towers, and horse faces trembled in front of the meteor-like fireballs and boulders, and the soldiers hit by the fireballs and boulders were instantly killed!

This time, Attila once again relied on Temujin's strength. Temujin had the Xiangyang Cannon and the siege generals transferred from the Ili Khanate!

"How could the Mongol trebuchets be so powerful!"

Only when you are really on the side of the city, can you know the horror of the Mongolian army's catapults.

Ferdinand looked up at the sky, and dozens of huge boulders fell down with black smoke, and the defenders showed terrified expressions!

In "The Lord", the power of the siege equipment depends not only on the siege equipment itself, but also on the special bonuses brought by generals with siege characteristics to the siege equipment, which can greatly increase the power of the siege equipment. power!

With the addition of the ninth-order siege equipment and the bonus of the siege general, the boulder thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon is enough to cause terrible damage to the towers of the Vienna Castle.

Ferdinand was a little hysterical. He understood why the war between the lord of the Persian Empire and the Ilkhanate was so tragic.

"Tiemujin has a lot of talents."

Attila's eyes focused on one of Temujin's generals. This general was a famous siege general specially transferred from the Ilkhanate by Temujin, which greatly increased the power of the Xiangyang artillery, so that Vienna was in Xiangyang. Under the bombardment of the cannon, trembling and trembling.

It is said that this military general is a Han who served the Mongol Empire. There are dozens of cities captured by the Persian Empire, but there is no strong city that can stop him.

Attila had to envy Temujin's quality of generals. Temujin's talents came from the Mongol Empire and the four Khanates, five civilizations, decades to hundreds of years of accumulation, and the background was far better than Attila's. Deeper.

The generals of the Ili Khanate commanded various siege equipment 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 weak and forcefully captured 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 came from all directions. Soon the Western lords could organize a second coalition to fight back. .

As long as the territories of these western lords are not occupied, the population of their territories will provide a steady stream of soldiers.

It began to snow in Vienna, but Attila's army was still in the cold winter, forcibly attacking Vienna!

Regardless of the Hungarian cavalry or the Mongolian cavalry, they are capable of combat even in the cold winter, let alone Gustav's Nordic Legion.

They drove out 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 as cannon fodder by Temujin and Attila to fill up the trenches and moats of Vienna!

boom!

Another fireball fell on the city wall. The moment the fireball hit the city wall, it shattered. Several defenders were injured by gravel and splashing flames, and a small piece of the city wall collapsed!

There are moats and trenches outside the city of Vienna, but the hundreds of thousands of servants driven by Attila, like livestock, forcibly filled the trenches and moats with mud and corpses, filling the way for the barbarian army and siege equipment to attack Vienna !

The shadows 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 was trembling!

There are thirteen giant siege towers with a height of more than ten meters!

Trebuchets and siege towers became a nightmare for the defenders.

"Burn the siege tower!"

Ferdinand ordered the archers to release rockets in an attempt to burn Attila's siege towers, and organized death squads to set fire to the city!

The Mongolian cavalry and the Hun cavalry were covering the siege equipment and approached the city wall. Once the defenders left the city to attack, they would immediately step forward and kill them.

Siege towers, ladder carts, and siege carts, all the siege machines are thrown into the offensive and defensive battle of Vienna!

The defensive battle in Vienna was very tragic. Ferdinand personally commanded the defense, and the generals of the Grand Duchy of Austria guarded each section of the city wall. Facing the continuous bombardment of trebuchets, it was difficult to defend.

A general of the Grand Duchy of Austria was injured by the flames splashed by the fireball thrown by the Xiangyang gun, and screamed on the city wall.

The siege tower of Attila's army was approaching, and the sharpshooters standing on the siege tower used their longbows to shoot and kill the defenders!

The towers of Vienna fought back against the siege towers, and even Attila's well-prepared siege towers were not as tall as the towers of Vienna!

However, what the defenders of Vienna faced were not only the towering siege towers, the Xiangyang cannons throwing meteorites, but also the approaching tunnels and the servant army attached by ants. Attacks came from all directions, and both sides continued to invest their troops.

Hundreds of large and small ballistas deployed on the walls of Vienna began to show their power. A thick and long crossbow shot and killed three servant infantry at a time, and was finally nailed to the ground!

On the first day of Attila's attack on Vienna alone, as many as 20,000 servants were killed!

Thousands of defenders died in Vienna, and this was only the first attempt by both sides.

Attila's plan to quickly break through Vienna went bankrupt, and the barbarian army was nailed to the ground under the city of Vienna, unable to move for a short period of time, and it seemed that a longer siege began.
