Chapter 54 Confrontation Between Two Sides - Burgas

Affected by the heavy rain, Bayezid's army could only continue to camp.In the meantime, wait for the supplies to arrive.

On the fifth day, the heavy rain finally stopped.Bayezid hurriedly ordered the army to advance at full speed, and the supplies could only continue to follow slowly.

This heavy rain seriously disrupted Bayezid's plan, and the originally scheduled journey was doubled at once, so he needed to go to Burgas in a faster time and prepare for the battle.

After another two days of Fast and Furious, Ottoman's vanguard has seen Burgas.They started cheering because it was time to rest.

Of course, they also sent some scouts to scout around here.Then most people entered Burgas.

"Sultan, we have reached Burgas."

Bayezid gradually relaxed as he listened to his subordinate's report.It seems that Allah did not abandon him, the previous heavy rain was just a test for him.

With too many troops led by Bayezid, Burgas could not fit.So the local administrator directly drove out the Orthodox people in the city to make room for the army to live in.

Large numbers of people were forced to leave their homes, and they moved north in the hope of being taken in.And after walking almost ten kilometers, they saw an army.

Peter camped fifteen kilometers away from Burgas, and at the same time sent scouts to scout around. When he saw the Ottoman cavalry, he killed them directly.

There was a clear division of labor in Peter's army, and there were dedicated soldiers for reconnaissance, logistics and other tasks.In addition, the earliest engineers appeared and made great contributions to the construction of the camp.

When seeing a large number of people coming, the scout immediately reported the situation to Peter.

"A lot of people come out of Burgas?"

"Yes sir"

Hearing the affirmative report from his subordinates, Peter probably guessed that Bayezid had come.Because Osman will not drive people out for no reason.

"General Constantine, you lead a cavalry to monitor Burgas. When the Ottoman Sultan arrives, report back immediately."

"obey"

After Constantine got the order, he immediately led the cavalry to monitor.

"We will move the camp forward when the Ottomans enter. Are the artillery ready?"

"All are ready, my lord. Some are on their way from Constanta."

At this time, Peter had 22 cast iron cannons and bronze cannons, as well as a large number of muskets and crossbows.At the same time, the spearman was ready, waiting for Osman to come.

And the other party lived up to expectations, and the flag of the Ottoman Sultan appeared outside Burgas.The Chief Executive went to meet Bayezid.

"Burgas welcomes the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, your army is invincible."

Bayezid enjoyed this process very much, and the victories in the wars in the past few years made him a little bit elated.No one will stop him, and no country will stop Othman.

After Bayezid entered Burgas, he discussed the next plan with Mehmet Pasha and Ibrahim Pasha.

"Sultan, I suggest that after repairing, go north and defeat Varna. Then invade Wallachia and force them to cede this land to the empire."

Mehmet Pasha suggested that Varna should be captured quickly when the opponent did not respond, and then go north to Constanta.Forcing it to cede land, anyway, Bulgaria is doomed to perish, so it should be regarded as a gift.

"What's your opinion?" Bayezid turned to Ibrahim.

"Sultan, as far as I know, it is impossible for the Wallachian army to move in so quickly and annex both Vidin and Varna. They must have two armies in action."

"You mean, there's another man in command of the army?"

"Yes Sultan, otherwise it cannot explain Wallachia moving so fast in such a short time."

Bayezid also had this idea, but he couldn't think of who would lead the troops.It may be a nobleman, or it may be a bishop.

"Rest for a few days, then attack Varna."

"Yes"

Right now, Bayezid has no better way, he needs to fight steadily, and then force Varna to surrender.Besides, would the enemy army suddenly appear in front of him?
The exhausted Ottoman army entering Burgas was desperate for a rest.Most of them just fell asleep.

But in the evening, Peter's army began to advance towards Burgas.According to Constantine's description, the Ottoman army was exhausted.Their spirits have reached their worst state, and the time has come.

So Peter ordered the engineers to start building a camp not far from Burgas.All armies join in and build without disturbing the defenders.Peter also personally guides on horseback.

At dawn, the Burgas defenders saw something outside after a night of revelry.

They saw that a simple camp had been set up outside.And the banner in front is the army of those pagans.

"Go and tell the Sultan"

At this time, the defenders were still maintaining a basic order, and they immediately sent someone to report to Bayezid.

Bayezid had just woken up when he heard the enemy army coming outside the city.At this moment, he was in no mood to do anything else, so he quickly put on his armor and went outside.

"Hurry up, send cavalry to destroy this camp." Bayezid ordered.

"Yes"

Under the Sultan's order, two thousand Sipahi cavalry went out of the city in an attempt to overthrow the camp in one fell swoop.

At the camp, the scouts had already discovered the other party's attempt, so they hurriedly reported back.

"Quick, set up the formation!"

I saw these soldiers began to line up, and the spearmen, crossbowmen, and musketeers were all ready.The crossbowmen were the first to attack.

Dense arrows fell from the sky, and Sipaxi was not a vegetarian, so they pushed forward against the rain of arrows.Although there are casualties, if one is gone, the second and third will advance.

"Artillery, prepare!" Seeing this, the commander ordered the artillery and muskets to fire.

"Boom!" The shells of the light artillery blasted five or six sipaxi into the sky at once.And the musket also caused a lot of casualties to the opponent. After all, the matchlock gun is much more advanced than the Huomen gun.

At the same time, the assembled trebuchet began to throw bolides.No matter how powerful Sipaxi is, the war horse will not be indestructible.Faced with these, the horseshoe fell directly.

The long-range fire was good, but there were still some people who rushed in front of them.At this time, it is close combat.

The spearman wields the spear in his hand, and under the protection of the shield, he inflicts the greatest damage on the opponent.And Sipaxi also slashed at each other with a scimitar.And the muskets were constantly firing. After two hours, Sipahi was forced to go back due to heavy casualties.
