A courier approaches the Sultan
Early October, 1780
Somewhere north of the Danube
The Sultan awaited the messenger with some interest. His armies had met the Wallachians outside of Bucharest in a pivotal first battle that would dictate much of the rest of the campaign.
He bowed low before the Sultan before announcing his armies had been victorious and the Wallachians were fleeing. Even now, villages outside of Bucharest were being emptied as Wallachian peasants fled before the marching Turks. These villages were looted and burned as the army came upon them. It would not be too long before Bucharest itself burned.
While there were Ottoman losses, the losses of the Wallachians were much more significant. The Prince was missing and had not yet been found on the battlefield, but Ottoman leaders were already bragging about his death. It was not clear whether or not he had in fact been slain, however.
The Sultan was pleased, as were many in his court in Istanbul, when they were notified.
