The Eagle of Eastern Europe

After entering Adrian, Constantine immediately counted and imprisoned all pagans and Turks, and asked the troops to rest and conduct reconnaissance to ensure that the Ottomans would not come back.

The losses this time were relatively large, mainly due to the long reloading time of the musketeers and the decline in defense on both wings caused by the cavalry attack. Fortunately, the infantry was well organized, otherwise they would definitely have collapsed prematurely.

For this reason, Constantine summed up two lessons: first, do not fight with the enemy cavalry head-on; second, the three-row shooting tactics must be improved.

Constantine also met the man who suddenly broke the deadlock and led his army to the battlefield. After his introduction, I understood that his name was Cyril, and he was the abbot of the Holy Trinity Monastery. He heard that he was going to conquer the heretics, so he summoned some people to help.

Constantine thanked him for his help and allowed him to preach and proselytize in Adrian. And he also opened the warehouse and distributed some of the belongings inside to the local Orthodox residents.

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

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

Grand Duke Mircea also received the news. While marveling at the heroism of this general, he began to re-plan the Balkan strategy.

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

Swallowing all the land in one go, and then extorting it to the advantage of other countries, was not the purpose of Mircea's expedition. Moreover, acquiring coastal areas will give countries like Venice and Genoa an advantage, so it is feasible to sign a treaty with the Ottomans and then turn around to acquire Kosovo and Macedonia, which are rich in minerals.

But now, the other party still had to take the initiative to negotiate peace. Mircea decided to continue attacking southward and beat Osman painfully to the negotiating table.

Bayezid ran all the way to Uzunke Moru, where he beat Suleiman violently. Who asked him to drag Ottoman and Wallachia back into the war? Bayezid didn't stop until Suleiman was dying.

Now the Sultan still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and more than 10,000 Anatolian troops are coming. He is still capable of fighting.

However, the Ottoman situation in the Balkans was also precarious. The fall of Adrian could only allow the Ottomans to control the Aegean coast. The Serbian rebellion caused the Ottomans to lose their only ally in the Balkans, and the situation was precarious.

Bayezid could only hope that the next battle with Wallachia would turn defeat into victory, so that he could get back all the lost land. But is it still possible for him to do so?

Seeing that Wallachia had gained a lot of land, Sigismund began to think about attacking the city again, but it was limited to his thoughts. There are still a lot of things going on in Hungary, so how can we still have the energy to care about the Balkans?

On the contrary, Serbia has gained a lot. Kosovo and Macedonia are both inevitable for him, but Wallachia still has to pretend to be a grandson, even if it means raising the tribute, as long as they admit that these two places belong to Serbia. But has he forgotten that he has openly converted to Catholicism, and it would be a ghost for Orthodox Wallachia to admit it.

What's more, the Macedonian region is a land 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 preaching. Crescent's religious activities stopped completely, and some members of the cult tried to kill him, but failed.

He also brought the Andrei Order here. Under his strong propaganda and methods, some people converted their religion back, and some among the Turks also converted. After all, they are also afraid of liquidation.

But this is unavoidable. The poll tax exclusive to them will be implemented. Andre will bring some underage children to the monastery for education, and eventually they will become the backbone of the order.

As expected, such policies aroused resistance from the Turks. Why do these policies say nothing when applied to others, but have such a huge reaction when applied to them? Constantine sent troops to suppress the situation, and the storm quickly subsided.

Archduke Mircea also came to Adrian a few days later. He saw the generals 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 Highness was in Dobroga, and later expanded when he was in Sofia."

"He came up with this?"

"Yes"

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

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

Mircea quickly formulated a strategic plan. He decided to take advantage of the Ottoman defeat and proactively find the remaining troops for a decisive battle. This will force Osman to initiate peace talks, which will allow Osman to cede Kosovo, Macedonia, and Bulgaria to Wallachia, and then there will be a duel between him and Serbia.

But now it still needs to be repaired. The supplies consumed by Wallachia have not been replenished, especially gunpowder, which is consumed too quickly. Thanks to Wallachia's large-scale production factories and raw material production areas, otherwise it will be troublesome.

Naturally, Peter rushed to allocate supplies, gunpowder, grain, armor, and weapons and gathered them here before heading to the front line. At the same time, they met with special envoys from Poland, Hungary and other countries. All of them said that they encouraged Wallachia to completely drive the Ottomans out of the Balkans. This was for the sake of God.

Damn, you just have a shield, and you are afraid that he will run away, so you win over him, otherwise no one will look at you.

While expressing his determination to fight the pagans to the end, Peter sent a large number of spies to neighboring countries. The news from Hungarian spies showed that Queen Mary was gaining support from the Hungarian nobles, but most of them still supported Sigismund. The conflicts between the two sides will one day erupt.

In the past few months, another 20,000 people in Wallachia have joined the army, and a large amount of food has been continuously transferred from all over the country. Peter's mission is to let the troops on the front line not have to worry about anything, let them just fight and strive to drive the Ottomans out of the Balkans as soon as possible.
