Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

They observe the situation first! Let's see how this war goes, will the Mongols win or will these Europeans win.

You know, the Mongols did not attack one European country, but several European countries. There were several principalities in Poland.

It is said that tens of thousands of coalition forces have been assembled to fight the Mongols, and nearly 100,000 troops have been assembled in Hungary. Fight the Mongols.

The Mongols divided their troops into two groups, traveled long distances, and fought on multiple fronts. Although they had strong combat effectiveness and great advantages, they may not be able to defeat the armies of all Europe.

If the Mongols are directly defeated by then, then their opportunity will come for the Kipchaks, and they can return to their homeland and no longer have to endure the oppression of the Mongols.

"Elder, what do you mean, we first plunder the western part of the Kingdom of Hungary and then wander around?" a Kipchak tribe leader asked.

"Yes, since the Hungarians treated us like this and killed so many of our compatriots, there is no need for us to be polite to them. We will directly lead our troops to plunder their land." The old man said.

To be honest, since coming here, to the land of the Hungarians, they have been forced to accept a lot of things, but even so, they still cannot be recognized by the Hungarians.

In this case, let's not talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and we will directly start plundering.

"You're right! They brutally burned the Great Khan to death. We don't need to be polite to them. We can freely graze on their western land."

"Okay! Then let's not respond to the Mongols first. Let's see if they can defeat the Hungarian army, or if the Hungarians can defeat them." The Kipchak elder said.

"If the Hungarian army wins the final victory, it will definitely be a tragic victory, and the Mongols will definitely be annihilated and flee back to the Mongolian grassland. Then we can return home and return to the Kipchak grassland." A Kipchak general He spoke.

"If the Mongols win, then we will have no other way out but surrender to the Mongols. This is the worst plan." Another leader said.

After the Kipchak tribe rested for a day and night, they entered the Kingdom of Western Hungary with their army and some remaining livestock.

As soon as they entered the Western Kingdom, the Kipchaks showed their nomadic characteristics and began to plunder on horseback. They rushed towards farmland and villages. They began to plunder local people's livestock, food, and destroy their crops.

Even more cruel than before. In the past, when they looted, they would only kill those who resisted, and those who did not resist would not be killed. But now, every time they pass through a village, they will cause a massacre.

They would leave no grass behind wherever they passed, and they would even burn down the houses before leaving to prevent any survivors.

In addition to some strong fortress facilities, ordinary villages and small towns suffered huge blows, which also led to the further deterioration of the battlefield on the front line of Pest City.

Buda and Pest are cities across the river. On both sides of the Danube, Hungary is divided into east and west parts.

The land in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Hungary has basically been ravaged by the Mongols. All the people are either hiding in remote areas or hiding in the western kingdom.

But now comes the problem. Originally, the west was responsible for the logistical assistance and supplies to Buda and Pest.

The Western Kingdom will collect taxes normally, then mobilize supplies and transport them along the Danube River to Buda City, and then transfer them from Buda City to Pest.

This was used to resist the Mongolian attack, but now there was a problem with this transportation line. A large number of Kipchaks had crossed the Danube and began to attack the Hungarians along the way.

This led to unstable supply lines and huge turmoil throughout the war, and the Mongols did not let them go.

There was no sign of any construction during the day, but every night they were bombarded with strange weapons and Greek fire.

This kind of thing that will produce violent explosions when projected into the city is called Dragon's Wrath by these Europeans.

Because boom! Boom! The sound, accompanied by the sound of fire shooting into the sky, made them think that this was the sound that the evil dragon made when it was angry.

And some of the firearms they shot in were also engraved with the heads of some evil dragons, which further strengthened the Hungarians' ideas. (During the second Western Expedition of the Mongolian army, in addition to the weapons of the protagonist, there were also some firearms developed by the Song Dynasty, namely the firecracker launcher, which is equivalent to a simple rocket, but the explosive power is very impressive, and it can It caused a bit of a fire. I checked the information in the past few days and found out, I wonder! There really is such a weapon, and it is carved with a dragon head, and Westerners are afraid of evil dragons.)

Every night, before the attack begins, Zhang Yong will send his drone into the city to conduct reconnaissance, then select some places that are prone to fire, roughly inform the operators of catapults or unscrupulous cannons about the target range, and then ask them to aim in that direction. to attack.

In the past few days, the Mongolian army not only used explosives to surround the trebuchets, but also directly brought out unscrupulous cannons, also known as flying thunder tubes. This is a batch of newly made flying thunder tubes.

All made of pure iron, the craftsmanship is very solid, and the range is farther than the trebuchet. When the explosive package is launched, it is also accompanied by a terrifying impact effect.

This caused even more heavy losses to the Hungarian soldiers in the city.

After several days of continuous bombing, Guyu came to Zhang Yong's tent and spoke.

"Master Military Advisor, I don't think we need to let them go out of the city for a decisive battle. As long as we enter the city now, they will have no ability to resist."

is not that right? These days they provoke the Hungarians who have not slept all night during the day, and then come back to sleep at night.

Then mobilize the gunners and start bombing without delay.

The Hungarians in the city are in a miserable state. They can't sleep day and night. The situation in the city is probably not very good now.

Moreover, Brother Zhang's strategy was successful. Although these Kipchaks have not surrendered to Mongolia now.

But they also crossed into the western territory of the Hungarians and began to loot, burn, kill, and plunder wantonly.

Now there is also a problem with the supply in the city. This city can be captured by force.

"No, no, no, after all the preparations have been made, it is natural to eliminate all their living forces, and the heat is almost there.

You go and send the order, and the whole army can prepare for the general attack now. "Zhang Yong said.

To break through a heavily guarded city and then enter, street fighting would be too risky.

There are still many enemies Zhang Yong has to deal with next, and he cannot waste his living forces here, so he must let them go out of the city for a decisive battle.

"But do they dare to come out? They are hiding in the city and they are beaten by us. If they come out, they will die." Guyu said.

“Just like the previous city of Kiev, this city will also become our bridgehead. This city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it connects the east and west.

Just the bombing in the past few days has caused some damage to the city's periphery.

This makes me feel quite distressed. We must preserve this city completely. "Zhang Yong said.

Next, his goal is to attack the Papal State, take back what he sent there, and then confirm his identity as King John, and then help his cheap father-in-law restore the country.

It is quite a distance from Kievan Rus to the Kingdom of Hungary. For an expedition, the closer the logistics supply base is to the front line, the better.

These two cities in Hungary are very good logistical supply places, and the powerful army of the Kingdom of Hungary must annihilate them in order to completely weaken the country's resistance.

"If they stay in the city, they will only die. The logistical supplies have been messed up by the Kipchaks. Now, they have no choice but to go out of the city for a decisive battle." Zhang Yong said.

If you go out to fight there, you still have a chance to fight, but if you stay in the city, you will only be surrounded by yourself. after all. The shooting ranges of both sides are different. If I can reach you, but you can't reach me, this battle will be impossible to fight.

At this time in the city of Pest, Hungarian King Bela IV was holding his head, feeling a little headache.

How should we fight this battle? How should we fight it? It can be said that all of his previous plans were in ruins. If he stayed in the city any longer, he would have no chance of winning. But when he went out to fight in the city, he had 100,000 Mongolians and a little more than 100,000. It seemed that there was not much difference in the strength of the two sides, but Bella IV felt that he could not win, or even had no hope of winning at all!

But hiding in the city, being bombarded by the Mongols every day, without any means of counterattack, is really frustrating to the extreme.

Now the logistics supply line has almost been lost. In a few days, I am afraid that the city will run out of food. By then, there will be no need for the Mongols to come to fight, and they will not be able to carry it on their own.

This group of shameless churches, if they obey their orders, give all the troops to themselves, and stop being suspicious of others, then those 40,000 Kipchak cavalry will be lost.

It is an effective force to contain the Mongols. This battle can last for half a year or even a year or two, and the Mongols will naturally retreat by then.

But the archbishop in front of him made the worst and stupidest decision and turned the situation in Tianhu into a disaster.

"Archbishop Hugolin, I would like to know when the Pope, the Principality of Austria, the Kingdom of Serbia, and other countries will be able to send reinforcements to support us? We have been guarding for a month." Bella IV asked.

"Your Majesty, you are the king of Hungary. All domestic matters, big or small, are decided by you. This is what you said before. I will not interfere in anything." Hugolin said.

Damn it! You turned my good situation into a disaster, and then you said you wouldn't interfere with my business. You also said that I was the king. Then why didn't you say that before?

Isn't it fun to meddle in our domestic affairs?

"I want to ask you about reinforcements. The Pope promised to send me reinforcements." Bella IV said.

The Kipchaks have been turned into complete enemies by you. Well, now that the 40,000 reinforcements are gone, then your Papal State can supply me with some reinforcements.

"Ahem! Your Majesty the King, the Pope sent me a letter not long ago, asking me to take all the members of the three major knights, as well as some members of the church and some of your reinforcements to the Papal State, and then together resist the Mongols. , Do you want to come with us?" Hugolin said.

As soon as he said these words, Bella IV opened his eyes wide and looked at the archbishop in front of him with a look of disbelief.

You bastard, are you speaking human language? You want to take the three major knights, as well as all the forces loyal to the church and the reinforcements from our country to the Papal State. You just run away!

"Are you planning to escape? Abandon the Kingdom of Hungary, throw my city and my country into chaos, and then leave directly." Bella IV said with extreme anger.

"What do you mean I made your country a mess? I am helping your Majesty the King.

I helped you clean up the internal dangers, but now the Mongols are too powerful. They also have Greek fire and a dragon roar cannon weapon.

We will die if we stay here. Don't worry, the Pope has issued a summons.

Form a new crusade, and this time the mission of the crusade.

It is to defeat the Mongol Empire and defend Europe. We are just preserving our strength.

You can retreat with us to the Papal States with the Hungarian army. Archbishop Hugo Lin said.

Now their chances of winning are slim. Whether it's a decisive battle outside the city or something else, they basically have no chance of winning. Only when the Pope gathers his troops can they have any hope of winning.

Now Archduke Frederick II of Austria has followed the Pope's order and begun to assemble an army in Vienna, and reinforcements from the Papal States will also rush over. (This one has the same name as Emperor Shinra)

Therefore, it is the best choice to bring together the remaining members of the Knights Templar and the three major knights, as well as the armies of some other European countries, to deal with Mongolia.

"You mean to let me escape, right? You actually want me to escape?" King Béla IV of Hungary asked in disbelief.

"It's just a strategic retreat, Your Majesty. It doesn't make any sense if you stick to this place.

Why don't you leave 20,000 troops behind and fight the Mongols first to buy us time to retreat? Hugo Lin said.

He doesn’t want to stay in Hungary anymore, please! It's completely fucked up here.

Although part of the reason was caused by himself, he would not admit it because he was a noble archbishop.

Now the most correct choice is to go to Austria. The terrain in Austria is much more complicated than that in Hungary.

Large-scale cavalry cannot be deployed at all. If you want to attack Austria or the Papal States, you must have a strong naval force, and Mongolia does not have these things.

"The Mongols may not go to Vienna. They may directly bypass Vienna and then march towards the Papal States." King Béla IV of Hungary said.

"That's not something you have to consider. Your Majesty the King, you are not the commander of the coalition this time. Do you want to leave with me now?

If you are unwilling to leave with me, I will take away all the power of the Theocracy, as well as the noble armies who are willing to follow the Pope. Archbishop Hugo Lin said.

Your title of king is only crowned by the church. If you die, we will wait until we defeat the Mongols and take back Austria.

Just support another Hungarian king. Anyway, there are so many nobles, and there are many people who are willing to be the king.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere, leave me to fight, I am the king!" Bella IV directly drew out his sword, pointed at the Archbishop, and said.

Enough is enough, he has had enough of these damn bastards!

Do you think I can't understand the meaning of your words? You don't even give me any fucking attention.

Let me go, I am just a dispensable king. If I don't go with you, then I will be the cannon fodder you stay to resist the Mongols.

After the demise of my country, you can just support a new king in Hungary after the Mongols leave. Anyway, it will be decided by your church, but the rule of our family is completely over.

After all, his son was too young, only a few years old, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be supported by the church as a king in the future, so this also meant that their family's rule was coming to an end.

“King, watch your words, for you are rude to the papal messenger.

You are being rude to the Messenger of God. Lay down your weapons immediately, Your Majesty. "The archbishop snorted coldly and said.

"Guards, come in and arrest these people who are trying to rebel." King Bellas roared loudly.

A group of guards rushed in, but after hearing the king's order, they fell silent, not knowing what to do.

After all, this is the Archbishop!

"Your Majesty the King, please forgive me for being rude. I have decided to follow the Archbishop, and our family will also follow the Archbishop." A big nobleman said.

"Your Majesty the King, you are unwilling to abide by the Golden Edict and want to take back our rights, which violates the will of your father and grandfather, so we must follow the archbishop." Another Hungarian baron said.

"Your Majesty the King, we nobles are the ones you can rely on, but now you are turning your back on us and God."

At this moment, a group of nobles also rushed in, looked at His Majesty the King, and began to ridicule him.

The King of Hungary, haha!

The word king is really not worth much, and the king is just a part of their exploitation.

If the king is unwilling to protect their own interests for their nobles, then they can just draw a king.

Your Majesty, why are you plotting rebellion?

"You are treason! Treason!" Bella IV shouted.

"This is not treason. Your Majesty the King, you were the first to speak rudely to the Pope. The Archbishop is the spokesperson of the Pope. If you speak rudely to him, you have insulted the Pope."

"The pope is the spokesperson of God. You are insulting God. You are no longer worthy to be our king." (End of Chapter)
