After the spears, these Austrian soldiers raised their spears and stabbed at the Hungarian soldiers who were holding on to the side of the city wall.
"Quick, go on, get more spears!"
Seeing that this trick was effective, Franz, who was standing behind the soldier, suddenly shouted excitedly.
The Hungarian soldiers, who were confronted with the threat of spears, were stabbed with their spears, and as soon as they were short, they approached the nearest defenders, and swung their scimitars directly at the lower body of the Viennese soldiers, and several unsuspecting soldiers were also slashed on their backs.
But a few soldiers were cut down, and many more came up with spears, and eventually the Hungarian soldiers on the city wall were wiped out by the defenders.
Alexander's fist swung down fiercely, and at this moment Alexander only felt a burst of bad luck, if those Hungarian soldiers on the city wall could hold out for a while, then as long as more Hungarian soldiers climbed the city, there was still hope for victory.
However, Alexander did not give up on the attack because of this small defeat on the city wall, and countless Hungarian soldiers were still fighting fiercely at the head of Vienna, and at this time, only a loud roar was heard, and a large hole was revealed in the gate of the city that had been blocked by the Viennese defenders with stones and sandbags.
Seeing this scene, Alexander regained his spirits "Daniel, you personally rushed up with my men and handed it over to those Hungarians, don't worry, you must take the city gate for me!"
Alexander, with a beaming face, immediately said to Daniel.
Hearing Alexander's order, Daniel immediately answered yes, and then rushed towards the city gate with some of Alexander's guards.
After the gate hole was blasted open by Hungarian soldiers.
Countless Hungarian soldiers poured into the city gates like a rushing river, and this situation directly shocked Leopold II.
"There is absolutely no room for error at the city gate, immediately let the reserve army block those Hungarians back for me, and never let them enter the city!"
Leopold II knew that once the Hungarian army poured into the city, even if the defenders of Vienna firmly controlled the city walls, they would not be able to avoid the fate of defeat in the end.
In the explosion just now, it was not only the Viennese soldiers who had long been on guard behind the city gates.
Even the attacking Hungarian soldiers were involved in the aftermath of the explosion, but at the moment no one cared about the life or death of these soldiers, in the eyes of the officers on both sides.
No matter what the cost, you must control the city gates in your own hands.
Gunpowder had lost its effect in this kind of close-quarters combat, and both sides rushed towards each other with bayonets and even cold weapons.
And just as the gates were broken by the Hungarians, there was another crisis on the walls, encouraged by the friendly forces below.
The Hungarians, who seemed to see victory at hand, seemed to become even more fearless to death.
Even though he was seriously injured, he still shouted for a fierce fight.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, please return to the palace immediately with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and leave it to the ministers to defend here!"
Seeing that the city wall was in danger of being completely breached, Stafford, the Viennese guard in charge of guarding the wall, immediately said loudly to Leopold II, but in response to Stafford's persuasion, Leopold II shook his head, and the emperor said: "Stafford.
If I go now, then in the eyes of the soldiers.
I must be a villain who only cares about his own escape, and once the soldiers have such thoughts about me, what can you do to resist the Hungarians' attack, I will be here, not anywhere, even if the city of Vienna is broken, I will summon my rebel here!
” "But Your Majesty, there is still a majestic Imperial Palace of Gundam in the city of Vienna, and with the support of the Imperial Palace, we can definitely hold on for a while!"
"Stanford, the Habsburg dynasty has been attacked by the enemy in Vienna only a handful of times in the past few hundred years, and there has not been a single example of being forced in the palace by the enemy!
Do you want me to set this precedent and become the most cowardly and useless monarch in the history of the Habsburg dynasty!"
After some yelling, even Stafford could only scream and dare not.
"Go and do your duty, I've already said it, I'll stay here!"
After Leopold II finished speaking, Stanford gritted his teeth and had to walk out on his own.
Soon after Stafford's departure, Franz hurried back to Leopold II "Father, the enemy has already attacked the city wall, please follow me to the palace immediately, with the palace, we can definitely hold out until the front line Qin Wang's army returns!"
Unlike to Stafford, hearing Franz say this, Leopold II revealed a smile on his face and said: "Franz, maybe you haven't paid attention these days, if Tuha or the generals of the front-line army have a heart, then in fact, they should have arrived at the outskirts of Vienna by now, Alexander has been under the city for a week, and Vienna and Tuha are in contact every day, since Alexander's army besieged Vienna, we have lost contact with the front, in this case, if the gang had a heart, he should have discovered that something was wrong with Vienna.
And from here to the Bohemian front, it only takes three days to march on a fast horse, and even if it is a full cavalry, then the time can be further shortened, but do you see that Alexander outside the city at this moment has some scruples about the front army?
” With such a hand, Franz also noticed that something was wrong in his heart.
Alexander only had an army of 40,000 men, and even if he hid some troops, they could not be too many, after all, Vienna had sent back to Alexander before the intelligence agencies in Budapest had sent back information on his troops.
And with 40,000 men besieging Vienna, Alexander was not worried about the rescue of Tuha's troops at the front, and if he had such worries, then he would have set aside a part of his army to guard against Tuha's reinforcements on the periphery.
But now with the exception of nearly 10,000 Hungarian cavalry roaming around Vienna, the rest of the 30,000 troops were storming Vienna, and Alexander did not seem to be at all concerned about the possible large reinforcements at the front, so that the thought of it would naturally reveal some problems.
"Father, could it be that Grand Duke Tuha has been bought by Alexander?"
After all, Tuha's loyalty to the Habsburgs is still fine, but it is clear that in Tuha's view, Alexander's attack on Vienna is clearly a dispute between Alexander and you for the crown prince, and I don't think Tuha wants to be involved in this!
” Hearing Leopold II say this, Franz's face became gritted teeth "But Father, Alexander is obviously not just for the sake of conflict with me, his behavior is completely an armed rebellion and wants to usurp the throne!"
"Hehe, Franz, you don't understand Tuha, in Tuha's opinion, as long as the imperial power is always in the hands of the descendants of the Habsburg crown prince, and Tuha doesn't really care who this person is, at the moment Tuha's energy is mainly on the Prussians.
Actually, now I am not disgusted by Tuha's actions, you must know that Tuha still needs to face such a big enemy as the Prussians at the front.
Franz, I also want to explain to you that you brothers can fight with each other as much as they want, but even if you fail, you must not collude with the Prussians, because that would be a complete insult to the Habsburg word in your name!
” At this moment, only a loud cheer was heard under the city walls, and this cheer made Franz feel a stir, and before Leopold II could speak, Franz rushed out.

Seeing Franz's actions, Leopold II did not say anything to punish him, but on the contrary ordered all the people around him at this moment, not only soldiers but also ministers, to go out and participate in the guard.
When Leopold II was left alone, His Majesty the Emperor let out a deep sigh.
Franz rushed to the edge of the city wall and looked down, only to see that the defenders had been placed behind the city gate had been conquered by the Hungarians, and a large number of Hungarian soldiers poured into the city, not only that, but a large number of Hungarian cavalry were also charging towards the open Vienna gate.
"Your Royal Highness, Vienna has been lost, please leave immediately!"
At this moment, Franz was talking to his close minister, Fergusis.
Seeing that Franz's expression seemed a little sluggish, Fergus immediately added: "Your Highness, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as you can leave Vienna, then we still have a lot to do, in Croatia and Southern Austria, there are a large number of nobles who support you, these nobles will become your hope for a comeback, you must not give up hope at this moment!"
Hearing Fergusis, Franz also made up his mind "Forgsis, I'll rush out of Nancheng right now, and before that, you can help me do something!"
"Your Royal Highness, you say!"
"Vienna has been destroyed, even if I escape, Alexander will occupy Vienna and a considerable number of people will give up their allegiance to me because of Alexander's power, so I need a token from His Majesty the Emperor to obtain the name of righteousness and the allegiance of the nobles everywhere to me!"
"What are you talking about?"
"That's right, it's the ring seal on His Majesty's hand, you go and bring it to me immediately!"
After speaking, without waiting for Fergusis to reply, Franz rushed towards the city wall surrounded by a large group of guards, where there were many war horses, the owners of these war horses were the ministers and generals who followed Leopold II to the city wall, but at this moment, Franz did not care who these war horses belonged to before.
