Murad II campaigned to Serbia and he imposed the Serbian king to tax. He annexed Salonica, Macedonia, Teselya and Yanya . With these victories Albania accepted the supremecy of the Ottoman Sultan. Also the Ottoman forces were sent above the Prince of Wallacia Vlad who revolted and Princedom of Wallacia was annexed.

These successes of the Turks in the Balkans were threatining both the Byzantine Empire and the other European countries. To save their countries they have organised a new crusade against Sultan Murad II. With Prince of Transylvania Hunyadi Yanos’ ambush 20.000 Turkish soldiers were killed. In addition, all the Turkish states under the Ottoman authority were libareted. The Ottoman Army was struggling with the revolts and attacks but they failed nearly in every war. This hopeless situation of the Ottoman Army was encouraging the Crusades. With “Battalion War” tactic, the Crusaders defeated the Ottoman army. This was the first Ottoman defeat in Roumelia.
