The reason for the strength of the Ottoman army was in its ability to mix the fighting style of the steppes of Eurasia represented by the mounted archers which the Turks had mastered well, with the fighting style of Europe, represented by the heavy cavalry with artillery and musketeers, the only thing missing for the Ottoman army was the pikemen

Hello i have been watching your videos and following your channel for a couple of months now, can you please explain the importance of Sipahi compared to the Janisarries since i think the Sipahi's impact for the classical Ottoman army success is underrated.

Ottoman casualties were 3, 000 in the siege of Belgrade(1456), essentially the same number as the Crusaders
