The Eagle of Eastern Europe
Chapter 51 Battle of Krusevac
Suleiman looked at the burning camp, immediately rode on horseback and began to command the army.
"Don't mess around, just follow my orders!"
But the enemy troops had already reached the camp, and no one else listened to his orders. (They are all busy trying to save their lives)
Countless arrows fell with flames, and as time went by, the Ottoman army became smaller and smaller, and there were surrenders and killed everywhere. As for Suleiman, he had long been shot in the head.
Peter looked at the camp, unable to hide the smile on his face. No wonder Archduke Vlad is good at night raids, as he can achieve maximum results by doing so.
"Sir, we have achieved victory, but some people still escaped."
"That's all, let them go back and talk to the Sultan. We are not easy to mess with either."
It was daybreak and the fire in the Ottoman camp was still not extinguished. The Dobroga army is cleaning the battlefield and escorting prisoners, and is also counting the spoils.
Countless ornaments and Akç (Ottoman silver coins) made Peter rich, but Peter only took Suleiman's and distributed all other trophies to his subordinates. This once again won a lot of hearts.
After this night, Peter's army lost three hundred men, and Ottoman's death toll was ten times as many. The number of prisoners was ten times more.
Such a great victory was Peter's first victory since his expedition. Not only that, but the use of firearms and rockets also proved its power.
"Order the reconnaissance team to expand the scope of reconnaissance. I'm afraid the Ottoman Sultan will not sleep well."
Peter teased like this, not knowing what was going on with his father.
----Dividing line----
It is said that Lazarevich has been waiting for Grand Duke Mircea's army for several days, but there is no news at all. The scout also reported that the other side only hunted every day, which made Lazarevich gradually feel relieved. It seems that the other party just wants to intimidate him and hinder his synthesis with the Ottoman Sultan.
But unexpectedly, a few days later, Lazarevich received urgent news that Mircea led the army to surround the capital Krusevac.
It turned out that Mircea knew that such waste was not the answer, so he asked the troops behind to transport heavy artillery to move directly to Krusevac, and gradually transferred part of the army.
When they reached Krusevac, Mircea left part of his army behind to confuse his opponents. Then he led the main force to move towards Krusevac, and in just one day, he reached the village of Porods outside.
The defenders panicked when they saw the sudden appearance of the army outside, and immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Nis, hoping that Lazarevich would come back soon.
Lazarevich took a look and fell into the trap. Hurry up and let the army run away, otherwise the capital will be lost.
Some of the soldiers' homes were also near the capital, so they relied on forced marches to cover hundreds of kilometers in three days.
I have to say, it’s really amazing.
Okay, back to Krusevac, Mircea has launched an attack on the capital. More than a dozen heavy cannons and trebuchets launched attacks on the city wall. However, they did not have Peter's gunpowder wall-blasting skills, so the city was not broken yet, but the deterrent effect on the defenders was considerable.
Mircea continued to arrange his troops in the camp and received news of Lazarevich's arrival.
"Is it finally here?" said Mircea.
Although Lazarevich arrived, he was already exhausted after the past few days of marching. For fear of a mutiny among the soldiers, he decided to rest for one night and fight tomorrow.
The next morning, both sides began to line up. Mircea's side had a total of 24,000 men, and Lazarevich's side had 15,000 men, of which 5,000 were so-called heavy cavalry.
In fact, after the Battle of Kosovo, Serbia did not have enough financial resources to maintain a strong heavy cavalry. And this so-called heavy equipment is just some breastplates.
Faced with a disadvantage, Lazarevich decided to go straight to A. Defeat the opponent with lightning speed. (Lajos II: I am familiar with this)
Time was precious, so Lazarevich directly ordered the attack. Dejanovich led the cavalry to charge. They were very brave, picking up their spears and charging on horseback.
"For glory!!!"
These cavalry are as brave as the Battle of Kosovo a few years ago, but they are also destined to be very easy to get carried away.
Mircea also prepared to meet the enemy.
"Crossbowmen and musketeers are ready, release!"
Following the commander's order, all kinds of long-range weapons were launched, but for some reason, the firepower was smaller than at other times.
Dejanovic and the Serbian cavalry charged forward under fire, while the Wallachian infantry took up defensive positions and successfully slowed their attack.
Seeing that the cavalry troops were progressing smoothly, Lazarevich quickly ordered the infantry to attack. He learned his lesson and planned to win the battle quickly. So he ordered the troops to concentrate a little and quickly break through to the center. The defenders in the city also planned to cooperate inside and outside, but were frightened back by the artillery attack.
Under the attack of the Serbian army, Wallachia gradually couldn't support it and retreated. Upon seeing this, Lazarevich quickly ordered the army to attack in an attempt to capture Mircea. Encouraged by the victory, the Serbian army almost chased Wallachia, as if they would be able to capture Mircea soon. in the camp. But they also felt strange, did the opponent's cavalry only have this much?
Mircea looked at the situation, realized the time was right, and issued the order on the spot.
"Let them all join the battlefield. This time we are going to have a big one."
"yes"
After receiving the order, the Wallachian infantry who were still defending stopped retreating, and some Serbian soldiers were horrified to find that the opponent's long-range troops began to get angry again.
Countless arrows began to fall again, and Serbia also sent archers to shoot at each other with Wallachia. But the weather was also against Serbia. A strong south wind blew up, and the Serbian arrows were blown to the ground by the wind, almost hitting the target. But it still failed.
At this moment, a fighting sound came from behind Lazarevich. A large number of Wallachian cavalry came out of the nearby forest. The soldiers behind were killed by surprise, but they still held the line.
Just the day before Lazarevich came to Krusevac, Mircea made strategic arrangements. He hid part of his army in a nearby forest and made sure again and again that there were no unpaid wages or insufficient supplies before he felt relieved.
Like the previous Battle of Chernivtsi, Mircea repeated his old tricks, using encirclement tactics to annihilate the enemy forces, and using strategies to mobilize the enemy forces to achieve the purpose of wearing down the enemy. In addition, the opponent's troops were already smaller than his, and now it was a one-sided massacre.
Time passed minute by minute, and the offense and defense on the battlefield had changed. Wallachia's encirclement became smaller and smaller, and Serbian troops were mercilessly killed. Seeing that he was helpless, Lazarevich could only lead his soldiers to break out and tried to escape back to Krusevac. However, he fell into a nearby river during the chase and was eventually killed because his armor was too heavy. Drown. (Lajos II said this was my previous life)
