Chapter 134 Adrian Battle
In addition to this, Peter also issued another document, the Proclamation for the Christian Population under Ottoman rule.It was announced that after the Ottoman land was liberated, the Christian peasant serfs on the Ottoman landowners, courts, vassals and other lands would be free, and the land they had cultivated would belong to them privately.

The church also launched a jihad movement, and Dean Cyril took the lead, leading 4000 untrained but fanatical farmers to join the battlefield.

Constantine had entered Ottoman territory and confronted Suleiman at Bolyarovo.

Suleiman took half of Edirne's defenders. At this time, he had only 7000 troops, while Constantine had 12000 troops. Peter also transferred his Negru Army to the front line, and the ammunition was also sufficient.

Suleiman learned his lesson and stayed here, no matter how provocative the other party was, if he stayed behind closed doors, he didn't want to suffer any more losses.

Seeing that the other party stayed behind closed doors, Constantine didn't talk nonsense.He had people prepare the catapult, set fire to the oil-soaked thing, and launch it at the time of the other party's prayer.

Suleiman's camp was burned down in a sneak attack that didn't talk about martial arts, and the way they were in a hurry was really beautiful.

Suleiman released the remaining Sipahi and cavalry to plunder every day, and was beaten half to death by the opponent every time.

Although Ottoman's tactics are effective, they are the same. First use Sipahi to lure the enemy forward, and then use infantry to force them to drive away the enemy's cavalry before encircling and dividing them.And Sipahi hated firearms, thinking they were useless.This gives the opponent a chance to overtake.

Knowing that things will change over time, Constantine decided to use the last resort: gift giving.He prepared a big gift bag for Suleiman, and in his big tent, Constantine's gift was opened.

Inside is a food and a piece of clothing, which are roast suckling pig and women's clothes.Sure enough, Suleiman was as angry as his father.

Now that he was angry, he was ready to fight to the death. Suleiman decided to sneak attack in the dark, maybe he could turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.So in the evening, all the people gathered together and attacked the camp of the Wallachian army.

"Go! Kill!"

The Ottomans rushed forward with weapons in hand, and soon arrived at the camp. There was no one in the camp, and it was very quiet.

No matter how dull Suleiman was, he knew it was a trap, and quickly ordered the army to retreat. As a result, the fire was everywhere, and they were already in an ambush and could not come out.

It was another night of sneak attack, siege, and ambush. Suleiman's remaining army could no longer compete with it and could only withdraw to Adrian. Now he only has 3000 troops.

Mircea also mustered 3 troops.After resting in Sofia, go to Plovdiv, which is an important stronghold of Ottomans. After taking it, Ottomans can be cut off from the road to the north.

The Albanian side is also reporting frequent success. Berat has been occupied, and the Serbian army will only watch and dare not take a step forward.This saves a lot of things.

After taking it, Castriotti's duchy doubled in size.The next step should be to climb over the mountains and continue to capture Ottoman land, but now it should be time for a break.

Lord Sudan has received a steady stream of bad news again, why is the situation in the Balkans always so bad.And now [-] troops have come to the Balkans, and the remaining [-] troops are still in transit, but it is not easy to regain the territory lost during this period.

"Sultan, Prince Suleiman has been ambushed."

Bayezid understood the cause and effect.

"This, idiot!"

At this time, Bayezid was even more angry than the first time. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he decided to take [-] troops to Edirne, and the rest of the troops would just keep up as a reserve army.

In addition to the battlefield, Peter's mobilization of public opinion against Ottoman has also achieved results.Some peasants began to rebel against the Ottoman overlords, marked by sporadic uprisings that prevented the Ottomans from obtaining food and supplies.The closer to the border the greater the response.

Mircea didn't meet any decent resistance along the way, and they were all greeted by Tan Shihu.With the help of the residents, Mircea has arrived in Plovdiv, and two months have passed by this time.

As soon as he arrived, Mircea surrounded the place and built siege equipment, making a look like he was going to fight.And this also made Bayezid feel that he would not be able to win it for a while, so he went to Edirne first.

Back in the old capital, Bayezid saw his son. At this time, Suleiman had given up thinking and was immersed in opium and beauties all day long. Even if the Sultan came, he would come to him at the last moment .If you smell it carefully, you can smell the smell of opium.

Bayezid was so disappointed in his son that he planned to quit his job after the war, and keep him now.So he assembled the rest of the army and decided to set out to rescue Plovdiv in a few days.

As a result, the next day, he got another bad news that Edirne was surrounded by enemy troops.

Bayezid didn't panic at all. He saw the opponent's camp and realized that this might be a repeat of the old trick, so he decided to go out of the city to fight. He wanted to let the opponent see that he would not be fooled.

The gate opened slowly, and the Ottoman cavalry came out first. They were veterans of Bayezid and had many conquests in Anatolia. They thought this time would be an easy task, but when When the opponent continued to fire artillery, muskets and crossbow bolts, they realized that this time the opponent was not easy to deal with.

The cavalry was overturned by the explosion on the ground. Bayezid took a closer look and saw a series of explosions on the ground. Stuff he doesn't know.

In fact, this thing is a product of the artillery factory invention, the reason is that Peter asked the workers to develop an explosive buried in the ground and use gunpowder, which stumped them, but it was barely completed. Then it is buried in the ground, leaving a fuze rope, which will explode when the enemy troops pass by when it is pulled out.

Such items directly wiped out most of the cavalry regiments that attacked, plus muskets and artillery, the losses were heavy.

Bayezid refused to admit defeat. This is how he lost his chance last time. This time he had to break through even if he paid a lot of money. He ordered the infantry to attack. If the cavalry could not beat me, he would use the infantry to drown you.

Ottoman's infantry combat effectiveness is also good, not to mention that there is Bayezid's Yenicheri in it, who was assigned to Suleiman before, and now he uses these people as infantry to attack, hoping to bring him good results.
