Since Orhan I took Bursa more than 100 years ago, it has long existed as the capital of the Sultanate, and the tombs of the Ottoman founding sultans and subsequent sultans are located here, and it has an extremely important position for the Ottoman royal family.

Not only that, but in the eyes of the common people, it is also a very wealthy city, a transit point for trade between the East and the West, and its geographical location is very important.

Today, this city that has not been war-torn for more than 100 years welcomes uninvited guests, surrounded by a group of nomadic cavalry.

"Bey, what now?" The squire asked Karamanbey.

"You," said Bey, gesturing to the man who had just spoken, "and tell me that I will give them a chance, and that if they surrender, I will let them live, lest they all call me cruel." ”

Bey smiled scowlingly.

"What are you shouting, if you want me to say, rush up directly, and kill them all if you dare not surrender." A tribal leader suggested.

"Stupid," Bey rebuked him, "if you don't have the right name, you don't have a good name, and now I give them a chance, and if they don't agree to surrender, they will give us the name of attacking, and when the time comes, I will be the one who is right, you know?" ”

The attendants came to the outside of the city and shouted to the head of the city: "Listen to the defenders of the city, Mehmed II is cruel and ruthless, arrogant, Prince Orhan is the lineage of the former sultan, and he deserves to inherit the throne. ”

The general defending the city is a descendant of the current sultan, and trying to make him surrender is simply a fool's dream.

"Don't you think, Karaman is greedy, shameless, arrogant, and the whole of Anatolia has heard of it, and wants me to hand over the city and kill me first." The guards shouted and cursed, and their words were unbearable.

Bey listened to all this in his ears, and his face turned red with anger, and the defenders not only did not give in, but even insulted him, which made him feel incredulous, were they not afraid of death?

"Alright," he called back the shouting attendant and whipped him in the face with a slam of the whip, "damn thing, how dare you resist me?" ”

"I don't, I don't dare." The attendant screamed and fell to the ground, a mark bulging high above his face.

After a few more whips, Bey was deflated, and then he commanded hatefully,

"Fence the city, don't let anyone go in or out, and send people to build siege equipment."

"I'll see how long you can last."

The siege lasted for more than 20 days, all kinds of offensive means have been used, due to financial constraints, it is unrealistic to want Bey and Sultan to mobilize artillery to attack the city, the conventional siege methods have long been figured out, and the materials in the city are still sufficient in a short time, but the Sultan may get the news at any time to rush over, and the siege is not realistic.

The Emperor had already contacted Venice and Genoa to seal off the two straits, and it was not as easy for Anatolia and the Balkans to get the message on the table, that is, the Sultan still did not know that Bursa was under siege.

"How do you break the city quickly?" Bey sat in the tent and pondered, when the attendant reported outside the tent: "My lord, there is a messenger asking to see you." ”

"Call in." After thinking about it, Bey decided.

It was a messenger sent by the emperor who knew that it would be difficult for Bey to take Bursa, so he had planted a secret in the city early, and now it was time to activate, but it couldn't be so easy, and Bey had to pay the price.

"Is there anything about the messenger coming to me?" Bey pretended to be nonchalant.

"I'm here to help the adults break the city." The messenger responded.

"Oh?" Bey glanced at the envoy, "No need, I have my own plan to break the city, so I won't bother the envoy." ”

"I'm afraid that before the city is broken, Bey's head will be stuck in a stake by the Sultan for public display." The messenger directly debunked.

"What do you mean? Are you questioning my strength? Bey turned his back to the messenger, and his tone was inaudible.

"Of course not, I'm just here to help the adults break the city faster." The messenger remained respectful.

"What are your plans?" Bey asked.

"Long before the outbreak of war, my majesty sent people to infiltrate Bursa pretending to be merchants, and now he is called to defend the city, as soon as he gets the signal, the city gate will be opened, and when the time comes, will Bursa not be left to the ravages of the adults?"

The emissary's words were seductive, and Bey's breathing became heavy.

"If this is the case," Bey could not help but rejoice, "I will ask the messenger to thank Your Majesty for me." ”

Then he grabbed the messenger's arm, "I just don't know when this will happen?" ”

"As long as Bey is ready, he can do it at any time." The messenger lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression.

However, Bey did not pay attention to this scene, he was already deeply attracted by the words of the messenger, and his heart twitched at the thought of the gold and silver treasures of the city for a hundred years.

He did not doubt the truth of the messenger's words, as long as the city gate was opened, whether it was true or not, he was confident that he would tear the enemy to pieces.

The next day, at the behest of the messenger, Bey showed no signs of abnormality, and retreated after a few tentative assaults as usual.

In the early hours of the morning, ignoring the eager gaze of Bey next to him, the messenger pulled out the signal flare in his hand, and after a scream, it didn't take long for a burst of fire to break out in the city, and the city gate slowly opened.

Seeing this, Bey was overjoyed, and regardless of the messenger, he shouted directly to the back: "Go, come with me, the city will be broken today." ”

After finishing speaking, he rushed over with his people, and the city was on fire, and the generals defending the city were beheaded by the enemy in a panic, and the soldiers had no choice but to surrender in groups.

After daylight, Bey stood in the center of the city, surrounded by buildings that had just extinguished the flames, and said happily to the messenger: "Thanks to the help of your envoy, I have been able to fulfill my life's wish today." ”

"Your Excellency," the messenger said politely, and then said, "Now that my mission is complete, it is time for me to go back." ”

Hearing this, Bey was very happy in his heart, and was still thinking of some excuse to kill him lest he say something that he shouldn't say, but now it's okay, he left directly.

"Your envoy has made such a great contribution to me, I don't know what reward your envoy wants?" Even so, he asked with a false stumbling eye.

"No need, this time it's all because of His Majesty Constantine, I don't dare to invite rewards." The messenger shook his head and politely declined him.

Bey was even happier, where did this fool come from? Don't even give money?

"In that case, then I wish you a smooth journey."
