Following the invasion of Egri Castle, the
Ottoman army had advanced to Hacova where they came across with the European army,
organised by Austria, Germany, Wallachia, Spain, France, and Poland. Austrian archduke
Maximillian was commanding this army. In the war, the Ottoman army was failed to defend
the riffle shots of the Europeans and many soldiers had died.
But the Ottoman raiders were continuing to struggle
very courageously and they defeated their enemies and opened the way through Vienna (26th
October 1596).
After this triumph the sultan returned to
Istanbul. Satirci Mehmed Pasha was appointed to the Austria front. He recaptured the Tata
Castle but he was defeated by the Austrian Army on the north of Budapest. Meanwhile, a
peace treaty was tried to be signed with the representatives of Austria. After a while,
the Austrians captured the castle of Raab which was invaded by Suleyman the Magnificent
(1598).
