Twelve days later, a near thousand-strong Hungarian rebel army attacked the southern stronghold of Tirgu Mures in Essenmakot.
Due to the massive redeployment of the army, the garrison in the city was less than 300 men.
The rebel army captured it within two days.
Meanwhile, the Serbian rebels swept through Timisoara and only stopped at Temes Fortress.
Romanians also launched assaults everywhere in the eastern provinces.
For a time, the southeastern part of Austria was engulfed in flames of war. The Hungarian Nobles Council, originally in control of the area, panicked and hurriedly drew a small number of troops from the north to suppress the rebellion while rushing to Brno to plead for the Emperor's assistance.
Encouraged by the continuous victories of the rebel army, more forces that had been previously observing joined the fray.
