Chapter 137 Reorder

The road built from Bukur Yesti to Sofia worked, the speed of material transportation was greatly increased, and merchants were allowed to transport some materials through exchange, which reduced the burden on the government.

Since Osman's defeat is a high probability, then it is time to deal with Serbia. Regarding this Balkan rebellion, Wallachia must be annexed, but if it is done now, the risk index may directly explode.

"Your Highness, a letter from the Grand Duke."

Mircea sent a letter to Peter, stating the next strategic plan, and praised his military training methods, and then asked him to plan the annexation of Serbia. After all, Hungary would not leave it alone.

When it comes to land, population, economy, and military strength, Wallachia is really not afraid of Hungary. But depending on Hungary’s opinion, it is mainly because it is afraid that a single move will affect the whole body. Behind Hungary is the entire Catholic world. They think about it all the time. The re-establishment of a Latin Empire, now with Serbia converted to Catholicism, forced Peter to be cautious.

However, Wallachia is not without a chance. The Macedonian region that Serbia had just occupied belonged to the Ottomans, so it would not be a bad idea to use this region to make a fuss. But Ottoman still had to cede this area.

For the next month, the two sides scouted each other, but they both understood that this was just the calm before the storm. Everyone is preparing for this ultimate battle that will decide Bulgaria and Serbia.

Bayezid reached a private agreement with Serbia to return all the garrison troops here at the cost of giving up the Macedonian region. In this way, the Ottomans had a supplement of nearly 6,000 troops, but they were still not as good as the opposite. At this time, Wallachia surpassed the Ottoman army in number for the first time. This was all the result of reforms. On May 13, the two sides met at Bafsa, near Adrian.

On the Ottoman side, there are 24,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, and 30 artillery pieces; on the Wallachian side, there are 30,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and 90 artillery pieces. In addition, 5,000 peasant soldiers from the Andrei Order are on their way.

At this time, Bayezid learned his lesson. He first waited for the opponent to attack, and then created the illusion of defeat. Then came what he was best at. But Wallachia is not a person who gets carried away so easily. No one in the two armies moves, and they are just wasting away.

The mountainous terrain of Bafsa was not conducive to cavalry operations, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of Sipaxi, which the Ottomans were proud of. This was also the reason why Bayezid did not want to take the initiative.

Wallachia's artillery was the first to break the tranquility. The artillery fired shells at the enemy positions. Ottoman also used artillery to fight back. However, Ottoman's artillery was still no match for the ones developed by Wallachia, and its range and power were greatly reduced.

Then the Wallachian Cossacks took the lead and harassed the Ottoman flanks. Sipahi tried to drive them away, but to no avail. Seeing that there was no expulsion, more and more Sipaxi joined in. At this time, the Cossacks began to retreat, and Sipaxi took advantage of the opportunity to pursue them.

"Anyone who lets them chase me will come back!"

Bayezid shouted in the camp. The messengers below did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately conveyed the Sultan's order, but it was already too late. Sipahi was already within range of Wallachia.

"Fire!"

The Ottoman offensive ground to a halt as Wallachian musketeers fired ammunition at Sipasi and spearmen stopped them from advancing. After withstanding the first wave of offensive, Wallachia's counterattack also began.

Since Sipasi attacked Wallachia's left wing, the Ottoman right wing had no cavalry protection. The Wallachian army began to push back. At the same time, the right-wing infantry also attacked the Ottoman left wing. Bayezid had no choice but to Fight hard.

Speaking of which, when did Bayezid become so cowardly? Well, it was probably because he was frightened by those Ottoman soldiers last time. It's simply terrible.

The courage of the Ottoman soldiers made up for their lack of weapons, and a stalemate broke out between the two sides. Under Mircea's strong command, the Ottoman right wing showed signs of retreat.

"Hold on, don't retreat." Suleiman shouted to the soldiers. In order to make up for his mistake, he could not be the first to escape, nor could he fail.

Even so, the enemy's firepower was too fierce. In order to obtain more damage, Constantine temporarily changed the three-stage shooting to six-stage shooting. After practice, the lethality was indeed improved. bayezid

The musketeers and artillerymen kept firing at the Ottoman camp, and one of the ammunition hit a place 30 meters away from Bayezid. If it were not for the protection of Jenichery, it is still unknown what would have happened.

“Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, these damn infidels, Allah will not let you go!”

Bayezid was incompetent and furious. Although he defeated many with less and defeated the Western coalition in the Battle of Skopje, he had never seen such weapons and formations. He did not expect that Wallachia would become his defeat. Where the halberd sinks into the sand.

"Sultan, the enemy has broken through our right army position. Retreat!"

Bayezid watched helplessly as his army was divided and surrounded. No matter how powerful he was, he was unable to do anything. In the other direction, Wallachian light cavalry rushed out quickly, aiming directly at the Sultan's camp. Bayezid had no choice but to retreat first. Six hours later, the battlefield gradually became quiet.

Walachia exchanged 5,000 casualties for the Ottomans' 16,000 losses, many of which were Balkan lords. This was an unprecedented failure since the Ottomans expanded in Europe. The order in the Balkans seemed to have to be rewritten.

At this point, it was no longer possible to not negotiate. Bayezid needed some time to think about it. After all, the impact of the past few years was too great. A small Wallachia made the Ottomans lose all their European achievements over the past few decades. If his ancestors knew about it, they would have killed him.

Wallachia took advantage of this opportunity to occupy many surrounding lands, and the Ottoman siege of Constantinople was actually lifted. The only land left for the Ottomans was the coast of the Aegean Sea, which was simply a Roman Empire of Mikhail VIII. It was miserable.

When the news reached Adrian and Constantinople, the people cheered, and the bells of Hagia Sophia kept ringing. After decades of suffering, this city that the world longed for finally did not have to worry about it. There were no pagans or nomads.

The Italians in Galatia also learned the news. They were jealous and envious. They thought that with such a country, there was no need to fear pagans. Moreover, the rulers should be happy for merchants like them to boost the economy and trade, so they had to reply quickly.
