Thread: Importance of destroying enemy camp

The lie is where you obviously tried to neglect the fact that the Wallachian cavalry was 20 times the size of the other two "Hungarian companies" you mentioned. "Wallachians were only 1 company, there were 3 total!" Or else why would you make such a big huff about me saying the Romanians destroyed the Ottoman cavalry on the flank? And no I didn't say the Wallachian cavalry held the flank AFTER they...
