Date: May 20th, 2025 9:23 PM Author: Kink-friendly pink party of the first part I keep thinking about the siege of Vienna. The Ottomans couldn't haul their big guns through the mud so they had to prepare for a much longer siege. There were no drones but both sides became really innovative at digging tunnels, setting booby traps and using gunpowder on each other. This feels like a slow motion version of that, with Ottomans knowing it's only a matter of time until they win. The only difference is there's no rescue squad the Viennese can call for halp.

Date: May 20th, 2025 9:26 PM Author: Kink-friendly pink party of the first part As the Ottomans advanced towards Vienna, the city's population organised an ad-hoc resistance formed from local farmers, peasants, and civilians determined to repel the inevitable attack. The defenders were supported by a variety of European mercenaries, namely German Landsknecht pikemen and professional Spanish harquebusiers, sent by Charles V, who was Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain.[20][21]
Queen Mary of Hungary, who was the sister of Charles V, in addition to 1,000 German Landsknechts under Count Niklas Salm, sent a contingent of 700–800 Spanish harquebusiers. Only 250 Spanish survived.[5] |
