Battle of Vaslui | How to Win Against a 100,000 Ottoman Army - Stephen The Great - Part 2
Battle of Vaslui | How to Win Against a 100,000 Ottoman Army - Stephen The Great - Part 2
By the time Suleiman Pasha’s force had arrived in Moldavia, Stephen had already been preparing for their arrival. Much like other military geniuses of his time, the Moldavian prince enacted a combined policy of scorched earth and tactical sabotage. Wells were poisoned and any potential food or supplies left behind were burned and destroyed, leaving the already tired Ottomans after their long journey in an even more difficult position. Guerilla attacks followed and it seemed that Stephen and his men were off to a good start. The goal was to lure the Ottoman forces near Vaslui...

Can you make a video about annexation of Bessarabia and Moldova.
Salam MIRI account to din ki bad miliga watch is Ana mashgol hi
Make a video about Military occupations by the Soviet Union. In special one about Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina.
It's a crime that Stephen the Great is always overlooked when talking about great generals.
It is not. Only à idiot can say this. King Stephan is as Napoléon maybe far better because hé had less resources than the french general. 43 battles won on 47 Hé fought. 😊
Most Romanian rulers are overlooked
East European generals never received their worthy place .
Whether you’re against the Ottomans or the others This battle was just pure genius on Stephan’s part. Pure, genius.
"Moldavia was not my ancestors', was not mine, and is not yours, but belongs to our descendants and our descendants' descendants to the end of time." - Stefan Dom cel mare
For guy often depicted as a villainous vampire, Vlad sounds like a hero in this video.
Vlad was never depicted as a vampire. You are confusing the historical figure with the book and movie character. Vlad was only the inspiration for Bram Stoker because he was known for his cruelty.
Thats propaganda. Vlad is a hero not only to Romanians but to all Europeans. He fought the islamic hordes with very little ressources and managed to force a retreat of a 100,000 strong Ottoman army after completely demoralizing them by impaling 20,000 ottomans. He was a master of psychological and guerrilla warfare.
Otherwise known as Vlad the Impaler. He used impaling as a torture technique against his enemies.

Machiavelli wrote that in the book "the prince" (il principe): "For a ruler, if you cannot strive for both loved and feared. Its better to be feared than loved. As fear is a better motivator tool for ruler to exert power".

@@Emanuel-E en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Valea_Albă Why and how could they have 150k? Even in this video it shows a huge battle that ottoman lost. How can they have 150k after 1 year?

The ottoman empire was a force to be reckon with and it's no small thing how the romanian rulers managed to stand in front of it. It took all their assests and intelligence to fight the ottomans and their internal enemies as well. I respect the history of my romanian ancestors and I also respect the turkish culture.

Fantastic video.
We cannot say that Mehmed massacred the Moldavians at Valea Alba when he had much greater losses. The Moldavians rejected them several times until Mehmed ordered a general attack. The Moldovans had to retreat and left behind 800 men to cover the retreat. Among these 800 there were very large losses.. Stefan did not lose so many soldiers, but he lost more than ten boyars from the Council of the country who were also fighting on the front line. Stefan could not use his entire army in this fight because he left part of his troops to protect his lands from the Tatar invasion that was taking place at the same time.

Hey Knowledgia team, are you guys planning to make Skanderbeg part 2 anytime soon?
the tactics used were nothing short of genius. terrain, weather, guerilla tactics, and perfect positioning of troops. Suleiman had an army probably twice as large, but he did not know what to do with it. he was no Mehmed II. however, i am more impressed by the fact that such a small principality managed to raise such a large force. sure, only a few thousand were professional soldiers, the rest merely militia. still... the logistics to provide for such a force from such a small state is impressive, when during the crusades, the western countries could barely feed lesser armies, still in owe of roman ability to provide resources to so many over such long distances. while the ottomans here were many, they suffered scortched earth tactics, and feeding the soldiers so far from home was a huge problem. Stefan knew what he was doing.
But he lost and left his country 😂😂😂
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j Stefan lost? Or what do you mean?
Worth some mentions: The Ottomans attacked during winter, which was almost unheard of, they had never done it before and they didn't try it after (obviously why). They tried to surprise Stefan, they failed. Around 2/3 of Stefan's army were peasants, we can only assume that they were very poorly equipped and maybe simple spearmen. The invasion of 1476 of Mehmet II was at first a huge success, they took most of the country but couldn't occupy any of the fortresses in the North. The decisive battle while it was a disaster for Moldova it was in doubt for a long time, Mehmet needed to use his personal guard to break through. Anyway, Stefan kept harassing, burning and when the Transylvanian army finally arrived Mehmet's retreat turned again into a rout. He had his army dispersed to control the country, easy to attack, the main army moved slow, there was also disease.... Mehmet started with 200.000 and under half of that managed to cross the Danube back. The war continued for 4 more years but the casualties were so big they were unsustainable for the Ottomans, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that this was one of the things that slowed down their expansion until Selim and Suleyman.
nice video
As a Moldovan i think the ottoman numbers are a lot more because in Moldavian chronics says that Oastea otomană era cit o țara de mare undeva la 120.000 de osteni which means that the ottoman army is a lot bigger about 120.000 soldiers+whalachian army

It's important to note that 100,000 is probably exaggerated. It is extremely unlikely that their number exceeded 45,000-50,000. Still, the victory was impressive.
And for the Istanbul on 1453 Turks are telling their ancestors were 50-60.000 and they were finally 120-150.000 against 8000 defenders.

Hey lol. Romanians from all 3 principalities know all that and also that was the bloody rulers placed as puppets by the surrounding powers to collect their tribute. Rulers had to obey their masters, collect the taxes and join their wars with the mostly boyars armies, not of their own. Moldova also attacked other Romanian principalities on behalf of its masters in time. In those times was like that and the masses of populations had to follow their rulers. So cut the crap.

Thanks for video. The real numbers of soldiers near 15000 vs 30000
I'm so grateful that he stood his ground and won. It's scary to imagine that these lands would have been converted to islam.
i think my main concern about this video is how tf that a pasha lead more army than the sultan himself, because on the next year mehmed 2 actually defeats stephan on valea alba with a lesser army number (atleast according to wikipedia) , so i cant help to wonder the number of ottoman army on vaslui is heavily exaggerated
Impressive by the Moldavians, but these numbers seem way too big for this time period.
Well the numbers for the Ottomans are believable (they were able to get man from a fast emipre). As for the Moldovian side, they were in a fight for survival so they would be able to get a lot of people too. The only question would be. Was the Moldovian army all "professional" or was it partially farmers who wanted/needed to help to defend their homeland.
@@ChristiaanHW”oastea mica” was the army used in raids which was professional, “oastea mare” was the defending army seen as the last resort which was mainly composed of farmers and peasants. So yes, at Vaslui most of the able man in the kingdom fought without much of the necessary training
@@lotyogipityu7992 Cool fairy tales bro
Moldavians were referred as Vlachs, which means Romanians. And they were referring to themselves as Romanians too, take the example the writings of both Dimitrie Cantemir and Vasile Lupu who both where Prince's of Moldavia. Not to mention that Principality of Moldavia founded Romania in 1859
@@lotyogipityu7992 Are you mentally unwell? Vlachs was the historical exonym to the people of the Proto-Romanian branch, Aromanians is the second biggest group of the Proto-Romanian family, Romanians being the biggest, so of course they are called Vlachs. But why was Dragoș Vodă referred as a Vlach? Why did he take with him vlachs from Maramureș? And why was Moldavia referred as Boğdan Iflak, Eng: Bogdan's-Wallachia, Russo-Wallachia and Moldo-Wallachia by Turks, Greeks and even by the rulers themselves of the Principality? Why did St.Stephen the Great refer to Principality of Wallachia as "the other Wallachia" to the Venetians so that they wouldn't confuse it with his Principality? Short answer: Because they are Vlachs, aka Romanians
Every trick in the book.
"Where were they excessively outnumbered? He had 40k troops against 100k Ottoman troops , and when you're on the offensive, you need 10 soldiers attacking for every 1 soldier defending to have a chance to conquer the defender?"
You confuse the battle in the fortress with the one in the open field!

Some chronicles noted 120k Ottomans and was a pitched battle, face to face, not a fortress siege. In that case the ratio should be at least 3:1.
Musicians trolled them hard

It was a very smart move on his part. But the biggest deciding factor of this battle was the geographic advantage of the fog removing visibility. Without the fog, the plan couldnt have worked, and the Ottomans woupd have swept them all aside. The victory is beyond impressive by numbers alone, but i wouldnt call the man "genius"
Thats the point using the terrain to your favor. Thats what a military genius does. Its not a coincidence he won 34 battles while losing only two. He strategically decided to use this terrain bc of the fog that was known to be present on the area during this time of the year. I recommend reading Sun Tzus art of war.
The place is a sunken mudded depression and the edges were forested. How did the Ottomans got into such place? What would you name a general who managed to attract an invading army of his country to follow him for a battle exactly in that place, at exactly that time, right when the fog also surrounds the place? Then to maneuver them like marionets to follow the music to the west, while the guns were at north east and the main army inside the forest, waiting behind at east. The small bridge to cut retreat, muddy place to nullify Ottoman cavalry movement advantage and also block or slow retreat.
Always nice to se Ottomans losing.

@@InAeternumRomaMaterim afraid that this 4 trolls who infested the comment section don t understand a thing. Cuz they don t know romanian, they know "moldovan" (an inexistent language)🤣🤣🤣
Don't believe these numbers. Little Moldova had 40 000? Yeah, sure. Ottomans 60 000-100 000 also too much. For comparison the famous battle of Pavia 1525 was the decisive battle of big countries and had about 25 000 from each side.
Even at the Battle of Otlukbeli in which Mehmed II faced his greatest threat, the Uzun Hasan led White Sheep Turcomans, his Ottoman army numbered less than 100k
Those numbers are surely exagarated, in battle of varna 1444 Ottomans has about 40.000 to 60000 Man and it was lead by Sultan himself with all of his household troops and armies from both anatolia and balkans, against a whole crusade but just 30 years later Ottomans assamble 100.000 just for a small balkan state...
Wallachia or Moldova cannot raised at the time more than 16 k or 18k soldiers (with 3k to 4 k mercenaries included) ,very unlikely 20 k army! unrealistic numbers 40k !
Moldova had a 30k free peasants (razeshi) army and a permanent 7-10 k cavalry, so yes the great army as is called was more than 40k that time and they were all trained warriors.

After 1000 CE and especially 1200 CE Islam had become a very shirk in many regions, vassekized by the Tartars, only nomadic desert tribes were almost entirely pious.
no it was a religion after gabriel came to muhammed.
@@odez5412 No. And No G...d Through His Messenger Gabriel enlightened Mohammed (PBUH) for the Faith. And also provided Mohammed (PBUH) that after the first three generations from the Founding that there would be additional non-divinely inspired Hadith. After 300 years from the Founding such non- divinely inspires Hadith would gradually become Canonical and deviate the Faith. This has come to pass just as Mohammed (PBUH)had been illuminated to declare.

Moldavia is the Romanian moldova, the other one is Bassarabia (just a part of it)
Principality of Moldavia was a Romanian Principality, it founded modern Romania in 1859, Alexandru Ioan Cuza was a Moldavian boyar who was voted as Prince of Moldavia in 1859, and days later as Prince of Wallachia forming today's Romania! Here are some writing sources from Principality of Moldavia, enligt yourself: _Pravila lui Vasile Lupu, Iași, 1646_ *„Carte romănească* (Картє Рoмьɴѣскѫ) de învățâtură de la pravilele înpărâtești și de la alte giudeațe, cu dzisa și cu toată cheltuiala lui Vasile Voivodul și Domnul Țărâi Moldovei, di în multe scripturi tâlmăcită di în limba ilenească, *pre limba româniască* (ПрєʌймБА Рoмѫɴѩскѫ).
