Chapter 60 The Overall Situation Has Been Determined

So, when Bayezid finally led his army back to Burgas, he unexpectedly met Mircea's army.

"Sultan, we are surrounded."

The attendant beside him said in horror.

Bayezid was also on the verge of collapse, first in the north, then in the south. What's the matter, is this a dog walk?

The two sides met in Nebser, 30 kilometers north of Burgas, and Bayezid's army was slightly higher than Mircea's troops. But after the previous situation, Bayezid's army morale had dropped. And the Sultan also wanted to return to Edirne quickly, so he decided to fight quickly.

Bayezid rushed directly, and Mircea was a little bit unable to react. But he still withstood the Ottoman attack.

The two sides fought in Nebser for 6 hours, and the Ottoman side was almost unable to hold on.

As the Sultan, Bayezid went out in person. Leading the Janissaries to charge, the leader personally killed the enemy, morale +10

After the eighth hour, Bayezid broke through Mircea's siege. He fled back to Edirne through a small road, and the people around Mircea didn't know why, because the Sultan could be captured today.

Mircea was very anxious when he looked at a letter, because there was also the emblem of the Luxembourg family on the letter. It was sent by Sigismund.

It said that he had summoned the Crusaders and hoped that Wallachia could join. If they joined, there would be many benefits to drive the Ottomans out of the Balkans and recover Jerusalem.

Benefits, Mircea would be very lucky if he didn't swallow Wallachia. He didn't know who Sigismund was, he was a man full of conspiracy and intrigue. His wife, Queen Maria of Hungary, must know, because she would die accidentally in two years.

Moreover, didn't he know what the Crusaders were like? Just ask Constantinople, Jerusalem, and Antioch, no, they must not come.

Besides, forcing Bayezid to sign a peace treaty was the ultimate goal. It is not realistic to drive the Ottomans out of the Balkans. Now he needs the Ottomans, and the Ottomans certainly need peace talks to get a respite. Both sides are mutual.

Moreover, Bayezid will be distressed for a while. The army of nearly 50,000 originally had less than 10,000 left after various attacks. And Mircea is not much better, but it seems much better because of the supplement of new soldiers.

Now Mircea also needs to rest and talk to Peter about the next action.

"Father"

Peter came to Mircea, and he led the cavalry to arrive first. Seeing the battlefield with residual gunpowder smoke, Peter understood that there had just been a big battle.

Mircea also welcomed his son. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid Bayezid would have brought his army to Wallachia long ago.

After a brief greeting, the father and son got to the point.

"Sigismund of Hungary asked us to join their Crusade and said that Bulgaria would be handed over to Wallachia for rule."

Peter couldn't help rolling his eyes after hearing this condition. Isn't this a waste of effort? Bulgaria now only has the north, and it is already controlled by Wallachia. So Sigismund just gave an affirmation, and there was no other meaning.

"Father, we have spent too much in the past few months. If we continue like this, I am afraid that the country will have opinions. We need to end the war as soon as possible."

How could Mircea not hear the hidden meaning, but it was right, those knights from Western Europe were not welcome. The combat effectiveness was OK, but if the morality could not be negative, it could only be zero.

"Well, I will reply to the King of Hungary right now." Mircea said.

"Oh, by the way, you have worked hard these days, go eat something."

"Well," Peter agreed with a smile.

Here, the father and son promoted their relationship, while Bayezid was rushing back to Edirne with his army. At this time, Bayezid was dirty all over, and his headscarf was shot off by the enemy's archers. If there were no pursuers, I am afraid he would be treated like Cao Cao.

"Sultan, there are no pursuers." An attendant said.

After hearing the news, Bayezid's tense nerves relaxed. He had never been so embarrassed, never.

He saw a big tree and dismounted to rest here.

"Sultan" ran over alone, it turned out to be Ibrahim Pasha.

"Pasha, you, you didn't..."

"Sultan" Ibrahim wiped his tears, "I almost couldn't see you."

Ibrahim talked about his experience and was almost killed by the enemy in the chaos. He escaped with great effort and appeared in front of the Sultan.

"I thought it was an ordinary expedition, but I didn't expect it..., that's all."

At this time, Bayezid needed to return to Edirne quickly. He had to order troops to be transferred from Anatolia and strive to push back next year.

"By the way, who is the commander of that army?"

Bayezid didn't understand who would be so bold. Not only did he insult him continuously, but he also launched multiple sneak attacks, causing him to lose a lot of people.

"Sultan, this..." Ibrahim Pasha was a little embarrassed to say, because he also knew that Peter was the commander of these natural enemies. How could he say that the Sultan was worse than a child?

"Sultan, we should go back quickly. I'm afraid that people in other countries have also known about our failure. If they form an army, I'm afraid it will be over."

After listening to this, Bayezid also reacted. The only one who could make European countries put aside their differences was probably the Ottomans. Seeing that they had lost the war, if they formed a Crusade, then the efforts of their ancestors in the Balkans would be in vain. He must not let this happen.

"Then let's continue on our way!"

Bayezid extinguished the flames, mounted his horse and began to move.

Peter and Mircea's army camped near Burgas. They planned to go south to Edirne after a rest. If they still don't negotiate.

In the past few months, Peter and Mircea have won more than 100,000 square kilometers of land for Wallachia. But conquering is one thing, and how to govern is another.

Bulgaria is different from Wallachia. The lord and noble mechanism here is very complete. The noble forces are relatively strong. Although all their armies have been confiscated, their influence in the local area will not disappear. Therefore, their governance in Bulgaria still needs their help.
