Chapter 2447: The new Mongols are here

Thousands of defeated Austrian troops swarmed into Vienna. They were exhausted by the three months of fighting and retreating. They were hungry and tired. Even their horses were as thin as a scarecrow---War Horse III If you don’t know what to expect, you’ll lose fat, even people don’t have to eat it. There is no concentrate for horses to eat, so the South China Army doesn’t like raising horses but donkeys.

The defeated army lost their armor and armor, and all their cannons, but they were not like a mob that rushed into the city. Even if they were defeated, they walked neatly, and even though they were dressed in rags, they still looked elated. , So the flag that has been shattered after the war is hunting and fluttering in the wind.

The unshaven, rags lined up with the music of "God Blessed My Emperor" came surging along the inner city avenue. Residents of the city flocked to both sides of the street to cheer them. Whether it wins or loses, this is their son after all!

The sorrows and joys that came out soon happened. People were inquiring about the information of their men and children: "Dead" when they heard this, some people fainted on the ground, and some people were too happy to speak.

But the number of people who heard "alive" was relatively small, and most of them were "dead". Soon, the whole city of Vienna fell into sorrow and panic!

In the upper house of the Hofburg Palace, Emperor Leopold I and the nobles gathered to listen to military reports from senior officers.

The Hofburg Palace is a palace of the Habsburg dynasty of Austria. It is located in the center of Vienna. The two houses each have a garden. The upper house is the place where the emperor's office, welcoming guests and grand events are held, and the lower house is used for lodging.

The palace is splendid and elegant, with luxurious decorations. There are a large number of precious Chinese porcelain known as "white gold", gifts from the French and Spanish courts, and finely crafted silverware by the Italians.

The golden walls reflected people's faces as earthy, especially bleak, after all, this war is really terrible! It's too awful!

Before Robert Constanti lost 80,000 people, he lost 150,000 people in the attack on Bratislava Castle, and the main force also lost 150,000 people, a total of nearly 400,000 troops!

At that time, due to economic underdevelopment and medical backwardness, Europe had a low population. France had a population of more than 20 million. The population of Britain was less than half that of France. Spain and its colonies, once known as the sunless empire, had a population of 30 million.

As for the total population of the Holy Roman Empire, there are 30 million people, but the Austrian population is less than 20 million. Although the loss of 400,000 is not entirely Austrian, there are also various principalities, states and Italians, as well as many French , Spain and Portugal, Britain, Sweden and other religious fanatics, but the Austrians have lost the most.

Of the 400,000 troops, at least three-quarters were killed or captured, and the rest were 100,000 wounded. This is an extremely painful loss since the founding of the Habsburg dynasty of Austria!

Due to the loss of a large population and men who are still in the army, many streets in Vienna are only old people, children and women, and there is not much yang.

"The minister knows he is guilty, the sin is serious, please your majesty heavy punishment!" Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli said with his head down. He knelt down on one knee to the emperor, and the officer knelt down behind him with a sad expression on his face. .

Baipi had straight legs and hard knees, and he knelt down unhappily.

Too many people were lost in this battle.

Leopold I's lips trembled, unable to speak a word for a long time.

The nobles were silent, and no one dared to speak.

This disaster is so serious that no matter if you want to help him or get into trouble, you don't think it is appropriate to talk.

If you speak for him, I am afraid that the emperor will anger and demand severe punishment. The most important thing is the invasion of infidels. If Leopold I is hit by a snake and a stick, it is not bad that the speaker should take the lead in fighting!

Even Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli was defeated, let alone the others!

Someone has to deal with things, and someone has to talk about it. At this time, Cardinal Franz Josef Gödel of Vienna said: "Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli caused a heavy loss to our army. It should be guilty. Heavy punishment!"

Franz Josef Gödel was dressed in a red and white robe and was about fifty years old, with a cross hung on his chest, with a polite appearance.

"But if he hadn't led the troops to retreat in an orderly manner and replaced them with others, even those troops would have been lost and defeated by the pagans in the East. In this way, we would not have an army to protect Vienna! Therefore, Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli has done a good job!"

"Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli's failure was due to the extraordinary enemy he encountered!" Franz Joseph Gödel talked about the "yellow peril" hundreds of years ago. The Mongols are very terrifying. The soldiers pointed out that everything is invincible, and countless countries have been destroyed. The land has fallen across the two continents of Europe and Asia. The arrows they shot on the Great Wall can reach the clock tower in Vienna!

Now the "new Mongols" are here, they come by boat from the sea, and the sound of their cannons in the city of the rising sun can reach Rome! Their level of horror is more than that of the previous Mongols. They defeated the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire needs the unity of the entire Europe to be able to fight it.

Therefore, Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli has done his best for this powerful enemy of Christ, not the sin of war!

Franz Joseph Gödel talked about it endlessly. His position was aloof, his evaluation was fair, and the monarchs nodded again and again.

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became active, and the ministers spoke one by one~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It was nothing more than Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli was guilty and needed punishment; Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli was guilty of meritorious deeds.

The hearts of everyone are clear, and the cardinal said that it is right that only Marshal Raimundo Montecuccoli can continue to lead the army to stabilize the army. If all the people are left, who will lead the troops for the emperor? Who will resist the new Mongols?

Leopold I followed good faith and declared that the punishment for the defeated generals would be reduction of the title, dismissal and staying in office. They should prepare for battle, save the land of Christ, save Austria and defend Vienna!

In order to facilitate Raimundo Montecuccoli to lead the army, his rank of marshal was retained, and he said loudly and loudly: "The minister thanked your majesty for his trust. The minister must do his best to fight for Austria, defend Vienna, and die!"

"We must mobilize all the forces. Only by mobilizing the power of the Christ world can we have a chance of victory!" Marshal Raimondo Montecuccoli said.

"Okay!" Leopold I nodded, and he immediately assigned as many as a dozen ministers to prepare to set off, as special envoys to various countries of Christ to ask for help. If Austria collapses, the whole of Europe will also be insecure!
