Chapter 1587： The situation in Hungary

People are different, as are rebels and rebels. The "poor Conrad" peasant uprising in Württemberg, because of the lack of professional officers, even if there are many people, it is difficult to form a strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, the face of the official army collapsed at the touch.

The Hungarian peasant uprising army is completely different, because the Hungarian peasant uprising army has a group of professional officers. At the beginning, in order to form a crusade, the Holy See had invited a number of middle- and lower-ranking officers from the Kingdom of Hungary, such as Dorao George, to be the leader of the crusade. And these officers, although they have no famous generals, they all have relatively professional military qualities. Perhaps, they lack the experience of commanding thousands of troops, but their basic skills are relatively solid.

This is not, after seizing the important town of Szeged in southern Hungary, it was used as a base to strengthen its strength as a capital against the Kingdom of Hungary.

Rao. Why did George choose Szeged in the south as the base camp against the Kingdom of Hungary? In addition to the rich wealth and various materials in this important town, there are many herdsmen nearby, which is also an important reason for his coming here.

The Kingdom of Hungary is somewhat similar to the Ukrainian region. Its southern region, like southern Ukraine, is threatened by a powerful pagan regime. Southern Ukraine is a threat from the Crimean Khanate, while southern Hungary is a threat from the stronger Ottoman Turkey.

Of course, although the enemy is stronger, Hungary's counterattack ability is much stronger than Ukraine. Mainly, Ukraine is a remote area of ​​the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania is also reluctant to invest too much in fighting against the Crimean Khanate.

The Kingdom of Hungary is different. They can't give in, and giving up means the fall of their hometown. Therefore, although the enemy is stronger, the protection of the territory of the Kingdom of Hungary is much better than that of Ukraine.

But in any case, because the southern region was threatened by the powerful Ottoman Turkey, the local Hungarians could not farm with peace of mind and had to maintain the tradition of the Magyar-nomadism. In the event of a massive invasion by the Turks, the herdsmen of southern Hungary will run away with their cattle ...

Therefore, in the Great Plains of Hungary, near the border in the south, the herdsmen dominate. Only in the safer northern region is the main agricultural area. If it were n’t for the threat of Ottoman Turkey, the large Hungarian plains might become Europe ’s top granary.

Duo Rao. George brought the army to the south, because of the large number of herdsmen in the southern region. Among these herdsmen, he can recruit many hussars ...

The fact is the same. After bringing 20,000 people from the two tribes of horses and horses to the southern plains, he quickly formed a powerful army of more than 50,000 people by half-flicking and half-stretching. There are as many as 30,000 light cavalry composed of herdsmen.

It's just that Duo Rao also encountered embarrassing problems-too many people and insufficient military supplies ...

Due to the threat of Ottoman Turkey in the southern region of Hungary near Szeged, a large number of grain fields were not cultivated. Therefore, the local grain output is insufficient. To maintain a large cavalry, a lot of food is needed, and eating grass is not enough.

Limited by the lack of food, Duo Rao. George had to stop the recruitment of cavalry after recruiting 30,000 cavalry. If there is enough food, he might recruit tens of thousands of cavalry.

For the problem of insufficient grain and grass, Duo Rao George had to start his army north. However, at this time, the officers and soldiers prepared by Vladislas II for the suppression of the uprising are also in place ...

When Duo Rao George's army began to go north to the grain-producing areas of northern Hungary, Vladislas II had ordered about 7,000 soldiers from the Kingdom of Hungary's noble coalition from Pest to enter Da Rao. The main traffic route passing by-the important town Keckemet between the Danube and Tisza rivers.

This is the traffic route of the Rao George army north. Although the Hungarian plain is vast, it is also the most important transit point from Szeged north to Pest. Moreover, the seven thousand noble coalition troops were stationed in Cage Kemet, and the ferocious George's army did not dare to go around and go north easily ...

Why? Because if Duo Rao ’s army, regardless of going north, met the interception of Marin ’s army and Polish wing cavalry, as well as the main officers of the Bohemian army, then this Cage Kemet ’s The seven thousand noble coalition forces are likely to attack from behind, making the peasant uprising forces enemies.

Therefore, for safety reasons, Rao George had to stop and send a large army to siege Cage Kemet first. Anyway, there are only 7,000 people in Cage Kemet, and there are more than 50,000 people in George.

Moreover, the capture of the Hungarian nobles in the city is very conducive to the negotiation between the rebels and the Hungarian court ...

Therefore, whether it is for the safety of the back, or for the nobles in the seven thousand noble coalition, Rao George hopes to conquer Kecskemet and capture the noble captives in the city.

In fact, Duo Rao George, a noble Hungarian officer of the Kingdom of Hungary, although he has the advantage of knowing military, but also has a big disadvantage-like Song Jiang, Duo Rao George hopes to be recruited ...

Of course, Dorao George did not want to be a court official like Song Jiang, but hoped that with the tens of thousands of horses in his hand, he would be a duke of the Kingdom of Hungary and make a large area of ​​land. Even, wherever the fiefs were, he thought about it-just Szeged ...

In order to achieve this goal, if he can seize the hundreds of nobles in the city's seven thousand noble coalition forces, he will not be far from success.

Even more, Dorao George has an ambition in his heart, that is-if he can get the support of the Hungarian nobles like Magash I, he may not be able to covet the Hungarian throne ...

At the beginning ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Magesh I also had no royal lineage. However, because of the support of the Hungarian nobles, Magash I was elected King of Hungary at the age of 14. Then, the famous "Black Army" was formed, spreading across Central Europe, striking the life of Frederick III, the father of Vladislas II and Maximilian I, who could not take care of themselves, and grabbed a large territory Vienna was taken away. Had Margash I married the wrong wife and failed to give birth to a legitimate son, God knows what is happening in Europe now.

As a noble child of the Kingdom of Hungary, Magas I was the idol of Rao George. Based on the experience of Margash I, Dorao George knew that to become the second Margash I, he must first capture the Hungarian nobles who guarded the city of Kecskemét. Then, they were forced to support themselves as kings. No matter how bad it is, they should be admitted as Duke of Szeged ...

But he did not know that the more than one hundred nobles of the Kingdom of Hungary in Kecskemét were actually the bait that Vladislas II deliberately left him.

Vladislas II was able to guess some thoughts of Rao George. Therefore, he deliberately sent a noble coalition stationed in Cage Kemet. Nothing else, just to hold down the army of Dorao George. Because at this time, the main force of the Hungarian officers and soldiers is fighting the uprising army in the northern mountains ...
