Chapter 136 New preparations
After entering Adrian, Constantine immediately counted and imprisoned all infidels and Turks, and let the troops rest and reconnaissance to ensure that Ottoman would not make a comeback.

The loss this time was relatively large, mainly due to the long reloading time of the musketeers and the decline in the defense of the two wings caused by the cavalry attack. Fortunately, the infantry was well organized, otherwise they must have collapsed early.

For this reason, Constantine summed up two experiences. First, don't fight head-on with the enemy cavalry; second, the shooting tactics of the third row must be improved.

Constantine also met with the man who suddenly broke the deadlock and led the army to the battlefield.After his introduction, I understand that his name is Cyril, and he is the dean of the Holy Three Sons Monastery. When he heard that he was going to conquer the heretics, he called some people to come to help.

Constantine thanked him for his help and allowed him to preach the conversion in Adrian, among other things.And he also opened the warehouse and distributed some of the property inside to the local Orthodox residents.

Adrian's recovery undoubtedly shocked the entire Balkans. Manuel II of Constantinople was the first to get the news. He happily came to Hagia Sophia to pray and bless the Wallachia army.

Followed by Venice, Morea, Wallachia, Hungary and other countries, the news of Adrian's capture swept the continent like a tornado, and some of them realized that Ottoman's luck had come to an end.

Grand Duke Mircea also got the news. While marveling at the general's bravery, he began to re-plan the Balkan strategy.

Now Adrian has been occupied, and Ottoman has been compressed to the southern coastal area. It is not impossible to recover the entire Balkans if this continues, but does Wallachia still have extra energy to manage such a large area of ​​land?

Swallowing up all the land in one gulp, when the time comes, it will blow up and make other countries cheaper. This is not the purpose of Mircea's expedition.Moreover, obtaining the coastal areas will benefit countries such as Venice and Genoa, so it is feasible to sign a treaty with Ottoman and turn around to obtain Kosovo and Macedonia, which are rich in minerals.

But now, it is still necessary to let the other party take the initiative to negotiate peace. Mircea decided to continue to attack south and beat Osman to the negotiating table.

Bayezid ran all the way to Uzunke Molu, where he beat up Suleiman.Who told him to drag Ottoman and Wallachia back into the flames of war, and Bayezid didn't stop until Suleiman was dying.

Now Sudan still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and more than 1 Anatolian troops are coming. He is still capable of fighting.

However, Ottoman's situation in the Balkans is also precarious. The fall of Adrian can only allow Ottoman to control the Aegean coast.The Serbian rebellion caused Ottoman to lose his only ally in the Balkans, and the situation was precarious.

Bayezid can only hope that the next battle with Wallachia will turn defeat into victory, so that all the lost land can be regained.But is it still possible for him to do so?
Seeing that Wallachia had gained a lot of land, Sigismund had the idea of ​​attacking the city again, but it was only limited to his mind.There are still a lot of things in Hungary, so there is no energy to care about the Balkans.

On the contrary, Serbia has gained a lot, Kosovo and Macedonia are his inevitable, but Wallachia still has to pretend to be a grandson, even if it is to increase the tribute, as long as they admit that these two places belong to Serbia.But has he forgotten that he has publicly converted to Catholicism, and the Orthodox Wallachia can admit that there are ghosts.

What's more, the Macedonian region is rich in gold and silver mines, and the opponent will not let it go. I hope he can withstand the attack.

President Cyril rebuilt the Orthodox Church in Adrian and began to preach.New Moon's religious activities were completely stopped, and some members of the religious order tried to kill him, but failed.

He also brought the Andre Society here. Under his strong propaganda and methods, some people converted their religion, and some Turkic people also converted.After all, they are also afraid of liquidation.

But this cannot be escaped. The poll tax exclusive to them has been implemented, and Andre will bring some underage children to the monastery for education, and eventually they will become the backbone of the order.

Sure enough, such policies aroused the resistance of the Turkic people. Why did these policies not say anything to others, but they reacted so strongly to them.Constantine sent an army to suppress it, and the turmoil quickly subsided.

Grand Duke Mircea also came to Adrian a few days later. He saw the general who captured the city and his army. Compared with the small army, this army used tactics that he had never seen before.

"This was started when His Royal Highness was in Dobroja, and later expanded when he was in Sofia."

"Is this what he came up with?"

"Yes"

Mircea marveled at Peter's ability, and was also amazed at the phalanx's skillful use of firearms and low casualty rate. It seemed that the troops still needed to continue reforming.

"Although it is safe for the time being, Osman will definitely not let it go, and I am afraid there will be a tough battle to fight next."

Mircea quickly formulated a strategic plan. He decided to take advantage of the Ottoman defeat and take the initiative to find the remaining army for a decisive battle.In this way, Osman can be forced to take the initiative to negotiate peace, so that Osman can cede Kosovo, Macedonia, and Bulgaria to Wallachia, and then he will have a duel with Serbia.

But it still needs to be repaired now. The materials consumed in Wallachia have not been replenished, especially gunpowder, which is consumed too quickly. Thanks to the large-scale production workshops and raw material origins in Wallachia, otherwise it will be troublesome.

Naturally, Peter rushed to allocate supplies, gunpowder, grain, armor, and weapons all gathered here and then went to the front line.At the same time, I received special envoys from Poland, Hungary and other countries. These people all said that they encouraged Wallachia to drive Ottomans out of the Balkans completely. This is for God.

Pooh, it's just that I have a shield, and I'm afraid that he will run away, so I win him over, otherwise no one will look at you.

While Peter expressed his determination to fight against the heretics to the end, he sent a large number of spies to neighboring countries, and the news from the Hungarian spies showed that Queen Mary was gaining the support of the Hungarian nobles, but most of them still supported Sigismund. Contradictions between the two sides will one day focus on the outbreak.

In the past few months, another 2 people have joined the army in Wallachia, and a large amount of food has been continuously allocated from all over the country.Peter's task is to let the frontline troops not have to worry about anything, let them just fight, and strive to drive Ottoman out of the Balkans as soon as possible.
