The Eagle of Eastern Europe

The first round between Lightning and Pozi ended in a draw. Even if there was a sudden defection, it was not enough to cause Bayezid to fail. But this also made the Sultan more and more arrogant. Faced with Tamerlane's request for an armistice, he burned it without even looking at it. Now he had no way to go down.

In the battle on the second day, Bayezid made a bold move and all the troops attacked. Seeing this, Timur could only send troops to deal with it.

"Hahaha, the rulers of the East are nothing more than that. Look, we are about to kill their central army."

Bayezid looked at the situation on the battlefield and laughed directly. He could march towards the Mesopotamia.

But the situation suddenly changed. Most of the soldiers on the Ottoman right wing suddenly mutinied and turned towards the Ottoman army. It turned out that they were Turkic lords who were forced to surrender by Bayezid. When they saw Timur's army coming, they specially performed this act as a meeting ceremony.

Seeing that the lords had turned around, mercenaries also joined the drama. The situation reversed without any warning.

Timur, who originally had a solemn expression, gradually became happy when he saw such a surprise. He couldn't wait to launch a counterattack. At this time, he stopped negotiating with Bayezid and directly pushed over to capture him and became his target.

Lord Sultan saw that his right wing was lost and the enemy counterattacked. His joy suddenly disappeared. He didn't know why it was reversed. He obviously should have won.

"Why, why, why, O Allah, why don't you protect your people and give the task of conquering the infidels to others?"

Bayezid was furious in the tent. He also knew that leaving the green mountains without fear of running out of firewood, so he decided to order a retreat. But it's okay if he doesn't say it, but once he does, he can't control it.

When the Sultan ordered a retreat, he must have failed. Some soldiers ran while shouting that our army was defeated, and the entire battlefield was in chaos. Timur's army harvested the opponent's lives like chopping melons and vegetables, and did not stop until sunset. The Angola campaign ended in a muddle.

After the war, Timur defeated 74,000 people on the opposite side at the cost of 8,000 people, of whom 60,000 were killed and 10,000 were captured. Bayezid gathered less than 20,000 troops and retreated to Bursa. The rebellious Turkic lords pledged their allegiance to Timur. Timur returned the land occupied by the Ottomans to them, and pursued the victory to the west. Some emirates regained their independence and divided up Ottoman lands.

"The Ottomans were defeated so quickly, and the army hadn't even gathered yet."

Mircea, who was supposed to be in Bukur Yesti, was waiting in Adrian for other armies to gather. When Bayezid was entangled with Timur, he had a premonition that Wallachia would come to Anatolia. Ya's day is coming. A mobilization order was issued, all soldiers who had served were called up, and supplies were transported by land and sea to Adrian and Burgas in preparation for an attack.

Mircea also gave Peter an order to take charge of possible landing battles and transportation work. After receiving the news, Peter immediately began to assemble all the navy to prepare for the battle, and recruited a group of merchant ships to supplement transportation and firepower.

"It's unbelievable that Osman, who was once so majestic and made the world tremble, has now fallen like this."

Mircea lamented that seven years ago, Bayezid won the Battle of Kosovo, making the Ottomans famous, but seven years later, they could not defeat even the nomadic tribes. How can this not make people think.

The direction of history has changed, and no one knows what will happen next. In the eyes of the aristocrats of various Western European countries, Wallachia's prosperity was nothing more than Serbia under Dushan's rule - a flash in the pan.

"Grand Duke, this is the age of the sword. Infidels can desecrate Constantinople and Jerusalem at will. Why can't we regain the land that belongs to us. Now that the Ottomans have declined, Hungary has no time to advance eastward. This is our opportunity. If I’ve lost it, and I don’t know when it will come back.”

General Angelos was advising the Grand Duke on the side. Mircea thought about it and made the final decision in her heart.

The next day, Mircea put on his armor and announced his oath to fight in the east. Wallachia raised 60,000 troops, starting all the way from Adrian and all the way from Thessaloniki, with the peak of their troops pointing directly at the Gallipoli Peninsula. Genoa and Venice have also paid to prevent the Wallachian army from crossing the sea, and will also transport some soldiers.

Wallachia has spent all its wealth. In addition to these, there are also 8,000 soldiers from the Duke of Allgäu and 4,000 Cossacks from the Ukraine. Transylvania did not send troops because it was inconvenient, but it provided financial support. Mircea's small army has grown into 35,000 Grand Duke's soldiers, equipped with 130 artillery pieces and a large number of muskets. It is the army with the highest firearms ratio in Europe.

Since the main Ottoman troops went to the East for burial, there were not many in Europe. Mircea adopted siege tactics, surrounded all the fortresses, and led his army towards the Gallipoli Peninsula.

When the Ottoman soldiers and officials saw that the Wallachian army was coming back, they simply gave up resistance and only asked them to spare their lives. More than a dozen castles and towns surrendered one after another, and some that resisted could not hold out for long.

At this time, Bursa was in complete chaos. After Ali Pasha learned the news of the Sultan's defeat, he first sealed it off and at the same time gathered soldiers from other places in the capital to prevent enemy attacks. When Wallachia sent troops again, his heart rate reached a peak. His 68-year-old body could no longer support the current situation, and he died suddenly.

Ahmed Pasha temporarily assumed the job of grand vizier, and he could only withdraw European troops to the mainland to defend the capital. This allowed Mircea to kill in Europe, and those Turkic immigrants became pawns abandoned by the Ottomans.

Mircea acted quickly and eliminated most of the enemies in the Ottoman territory within a month. Now as long as he captures two castles in Gallipoli, the entire Balkans will be his.

But the Ottomans also knew that if Gallipoli was completely lost, they would never be able to enter Europe, so these two castles were extremely strong after years of construction. There is also a large amount of food stored, which the ordinary army cannot defeat at all. But the Wallachian army was no ordinary army. They bombarded the first castle day and night. This put great pressure on the defenders. Not only that, they also adopted explosive blasting tactics, digging tunnels to bury explosives and blast the city gates.

Eight days later, Wallachian troops detonated explosives under the city gates. A huge gap was blown in the city wall, and the Wallachian army swarmed in and captured the first castle.
