"Attila's cavalry has arrived at Vienna!"

As Timur prepared to attack the city of Vienna, the defenders of Vienna witnessed the Whip of God, the leader of the Hunnic Empire, Attila, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, King Gustav of the Kingdom of Sweden, the King of Poland, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, and the King of Ostrogoths besieging Vienna.

Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded the important city of Vienna and besieged the fortified city of Vienna, resulting in the city of Vienna, which was impassable!

Ferdinand looked out from the city, and the army of Attila's camp was endless, and the mountains were terrifying.

Among this group of enemies, there are not only the cowardly Xue army, but also the Shan Yu Guards, Polish hussars, Gothic warriors, arquebusiers and other troops.

They also brought with them craftsmen who were even more feared by the defenders of Vienna, who could craft a large number of siege engines that could be used to capture the city.

In the defense of the city, the threat of the craftsman to the fortified city is also higher than that of the elite cavalry.

"This time the defense of Vienna will probably be the most tragic offensive and defensive one."

Ferdinand realized that Attila and other barbarian leaders were drawn by Attila to attack the kings of Central and Western Europe, and it was imperative to take the city of Vienna.

After repelling Alexander and other Western lords, Attila successfully joined up with Timur and Subutai and besieged Vienna together.

Vienna has become a bridgehead to contain the barbarian coalition, and holding Vienna can buy time for reinforcements to arrive.

In case of an early loss, either the Western coalition forces will be forced to engage the large armies of the Hun camp for a second time, or they will be forced to retreat backwards, retreating again and again, stretching the supply lines 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 logistical pressure, but they are not as stressful as the Western lords, which is also the advantage of Temujin and Attila.

Vienna became the shield of Europe, and its mission was to block the attacks of the armies of Temujin and Attila.

"I didn't expect Alexander, Caesar and others to be defeated so quickly, and they left me alone to hold Vienna. No matter what the battle is, my strength will be greatly damaged. But in the face of such a situation, there is nothing to be done, the coalition forces have done their best, whether it is Alexander, Rome, or Germany, they have paid a heavy price, and the number of their joint casualties is as high as more than 100,000......"

Unlike Alexander, Hohenzollern, and Caesar, Alexander and other lords could retreat again and again, and they still had a way out, but Ferdinand could not retreat again and again, because Vienna was the last stronghold he had painstakingly managed.

The defeat of the Western lords was rather sudden, and Ferdinand did not expect it.

At this time, the nobles of the Archduchy of Austria, who had held on to Vienna, finally fell into a panic.

Earlier Timur sent envoys demanding that they surrender Vienna. However, Ferdinand rejected Timur's proposal.

At that time, the nobles of the Archduchy of Austria were still unimpressed and insulted Timur together. 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 had made, and they seemed to underestimate each other.

Only Timur, they were able to hold Vienna.

This time, Attila and Temujin brought hundreds of thousands of people.

In case of the capture of Vienna by the barbarian army, Attila and his allies will not let go of the opportunity to loot, or even slaughter the city, for them, the city of Vienna is the richest city of the Grand Duchy of Austria, with a population several times larger than the second largest city, so the wealth accumulated in Vienna is also quite amazing, which is why Attila wants to take Vienna and the Grand Duchy of Austria.

Capturing these two civilizations and getting supplies will be very beneficial for the next offensive and defensive purposes.

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

"Prepare for the siege!"

Timur's craftsmen built a giant counterweight trebuchet ready.

Before the arrival of Attila and Temujin, Timur had made sufficient preparations to defeat the cavalry troops in the city who repeatedly wanted to sneak out of the city, which showed the strength of his ability, both Temujin and several generals under Temujin's command showed amazing ability, which gave the Western lords a headache.

Timur can now basically stand on his own and become a standout.

Before the official storming of Vienna, it seems that they realized that the city of Vienna was too strong to attack, so Attila and Temujin sent envoys to try to recruit the Archduchy of Austria again.

Ferdinand's reply was exactly the same as before, refusing to surrender to Attila and Temujin, intending to resist to the end.

Rumble!

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

Before the army officially attacks, use trebuchets to destroy the fortifications!

Vienna's walls, towers, and horse faces trembled in front of meteorite-like fireballs and boulders, and soldiers who were hit by fireballs and boulders were killed in an instant!

This time, Attila once again relied on the power of Temujin, who had the Xiangyang cannon and the siege generals transferred from the Ilkhanate!

"The Mongol trebuchet, how could it be so powerful!"

Only those who are really on the side defending the city know the horror of the Mongol trebuchet.

Ferdinand looked up at the air, dozens of boulders dragging black smoke smashed down, and the defenders showed terrified expressions!

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

The ninth-order siege equipment plus the bonus of the siege general, the boulder thrown by the Xiangyang cannon is enough to cause terrible damage to the tower of Vienna Castle, and the smashed tower appears one after another, and the broken stones fall!

Ferdinand was a little hysterical, and he understood why the great war between the lords of the Persian Empire and the Ilkhanate was so fierce.

"Temujin has a lot of talent."

Attila's eyes were focused on one of Temujin's generals, who were specially transferred from the Ilkhanate to attack the city, which greatly increased the power of the Xiangyang cannon, so that Vienna trembled under the bombardment of the Xiangyang cannon.

It is said that this military general was a Han Chinese who served the Mongol Empire, and the Persian Empire had conquered dozens of cities, but there were no strong cities that could stop him.

Attila had to look at the quality of the generals that Temujin had, Temujin's talents came from the Mongol Empire and the four khanates, five civilizations, and the accumulation of decades to hundreds of years, and the background was far deeper than that of Attila.

The generals of the Ilkhanate commanded various siege engines to attack Vienna.

"Dig tunnels!"

Attila not only used siege equipment, but also used siege methods such as digging tunnels to try to make the defenders weak and forcibly capture Vienna.

He also knew that he could not delay too long in Vienna, the lords of Rome, Macedonia, and Germany were still gathering reinforcements, and a steady stream of reinforcements was gathering from all directions, and soon the Western lords could organize a second coalition and counterattack.

As long as the territories of these Western lords have not fallen, the population of their territories will continue to provide a steady supply of soldiers.

It began to snow in the city of Vienna, but Attila's army still attacked Vienna in the cold winter!

Both the Hun cavalry and the Mongol cavalry were capable of fighting even in the cold winter, not to mention Gustav's Nordic legions.

They drove a large number of servants, and the black and oppressive servant armies pressed Vienna against them, and these servants from the Kingdom of Hungary and the Grand Duchy of Austria were used as cannon fodder by Temujin and Attila to fill the trenches and moats of Vienna!

Rumble!

Another fireball fell on the city wall, and the moment the fireball hit the city wall, it shattered, and several defender soldiers were injured by the rubble and flying flames, and the city wall collapsed in a small piece!

There were moats and trenches outside the city of Vienna, but the army of hundreds of thousands of servants, driven by Attila like cattle, forcibly filled the trenches and moats with earth and corpses, filling the way for the barbarian army and siege machines to attack Vienna!

The shadow cast on the ground by the siege towers of the barbarian camp, pushed by hundreds of cannon fodder infantry, pressed against the 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, which became a nightmare for the defenders.

"Burn the siege tower!"

Ferdinand ordered the archers to unleash rockets in an attempt to burn Attila's siege tower, as well as organize death squads to go out of the city and set fire!

The Mongol and Hun cavalry were covering the siege equipment close to the city walls, and as soon as the defenders attacked out of the city, they immediately stepped forward to kill them.

Siege towers, ladder trucks, and siege equipment were put into the offensive and defensive battles of Vienna!

The defensive battle of Vienna was very fierce, Ferdinand personally commanded the defense, and the generals of the Austrian Grand Duchy defended each section of the city wall, facing the constant bombardment of trebuchets, and it was difficult to defend.

A general of the Archduchy of Austria, wounded by the flames of the fireball thrown by the Xiangyang cannon, screamed on the city wall.

The siege towers of Attila's army approached, and the marksmen standing on the siege towers shot the defenders with their longbows!

The towers of Vienna fought back against the siege towers, and even the siege towers that Attila had carefully prepared were not as tall as the towers of Vienna!

However, the defenders of Vienna were not only faced with towering siege towers and meteorite-throwing cannons, but also approaching tunnels and ant-attached servants.

Hundreds of ballistae and ballistae deployed on the walls of Vienna began to wield their might, and a thick crossbow shot three servant infantry at once, and finally nailed to the ground!

On the first day of Attila's attack on Vienna alone, the number of servants killed was as high as 20,000!

The defenders of Vienna also lost thousands, and this was only the first test of both sides.

Attila's plan to quickly break through Vienna failed, and the barbarian army was nailed to the city of Vienna, unable to move for a short time, and seemed to have begun a longer siege.
