Part 1: Fear the Magyars
4th of July 907, between Vienna and Pressburg
The army of Luitpold, Margrave of Bavaria had marched towards the city of Pressburg which had accounted for aLiüntika approach of a large Magyar army under Grand Prince Arpád. Luitpold was brave but this battle seemed pointless. He decided to build a small stockade nearby the large city of Vienna, which consisted of his troops which numbers are unknown. (Records exaggerated hat his army numbered to almost 100,000 but most medieval armies would ever go higher than a large 10,000 men, compared to the massive force of 35,000 Magyars).
The army of Arpád arrived around noon and seemed that their army had been downsized obviously stating that their brethren were attempting to siege the city of Pressburg. Luitpold's forces started to fire arrows at their cavalry down the hillside but caused little causalities. Luitpold himself decided to call in the garrison of Vienna to flank the Magyar forces, which arrived just in time as the Bavarian forces charged out of the stockades and cut up their front lines, with most of their archery incapable of breaking their army once they hit them. The valley was a show of arrows flying as both Bavarian and Magyar archers fired on. The garrison of Vienna was mainly incapable of making much damage on the sides of the Magyar army but wasn't completely incapable. A few German cavalry and infantry made it far enough threw the Magyar army to spot Aprád himself and point him out for the archers at the stockade. This allowed for a mass shooting of Arpád almost killing him instantly. This backed German morale and when more troops arrived for Luitpold from central Bavaria they was almost no battle to fight. Their forces flanked the entire Magyar army, forcing them to retreat to Pressburg, giving them losses of around 10,000 and Luitpold's army of about 5,000.
Luitpold's forces were joined by King Louis the Child of East Francia, whom had been the leader of the German faction against Arpád. Louis decided to appoint Luitpold as the leader of this new kind of Crusade against the Magyars, which were still following their native Tengriism. Louis and Luitpold arrived at the city of Pressburg on the 11th of July, tailing Arpád's fleeing army. The siege was laid immediately. The cities garrison attempted a Sally forth and Arpád's army intervened limiting the German advance and forcing themselves to settle behind a village (around 3-6 miles away from Pressburg) which Louis constructed a barracks, to house the large army. The barracks was temporarily built over the summer and by September 18th Louis ordered the launch of the 2nd siege of Pressburg, which allowed for the Magyar army to launch a surprise attack. The army was well defended in their siege and most of the Magyar forces were stopped at their small stockade surrounding the the main barracks group.
The Magyars were forced by Luitpold to go back to Pressburg as his personal levies chased him following the Danube east. The son of Aprád, Liüntika assumed leadership and set his forces off from central Pannonia and prepared to attack the forces of East Francia. The 2nd siege of Pressburg was reinstated on the 20th of September and the city was already flawing from food shortages, as the troops defending the city were in dire need of supplies. The cities walls were breached by a battering ram and the Magyars led a final sally forth which was composed of the remaining 10,000 of Arpád's army. The army actually nearly defeated Luitpold with their central Asian styled archer cavalry, but was outmatched by East Francia's archaic knights. This led to the fall of the city of Pressburg back to Bavarian hands and it's reintroduction in the March of Austria.
