TRT 1’s series Mehmed: Sultan of Conquests, which attracts great attention and brings historical events to the screen, brings the excitement to the top with its new episode. The series, which tells the epic struggle of Sultan Mehmed, will be on the screens with its 30th episode on Tuesday, January 7.
Sultan Mehmed Suppresses the Rebellion
In the last episode of the series, Sultan Mehmed suppressed the rebellion among the Janissaries with a harsh intervention. The uprising, which started under the leadership of Ali Haydar, ended bloodily with the Sultan’s decisive attitude. While the leaders of the rebellion were executed, Mehmed once again consolidated his authority.
However, these events were not limited to exposing the traitors within the Ottoman Empire. Sultan Mehmed assigned Battal and Bali Bey to hunt down the attackers of the caravan sent to the capital. The mission is not only to catch the attackers, but also to expose the secret organizations that threaten the state.
Traitors and Betrayal Revealed
Battal and Bali Bey reach the bandit Dugin and capture Beşir, Ferhat’s chamberlain, who supports him. Beşir is brought before Sultan Mehmed and the extent of the betrayal begins to come to light. Whether Ferhat Pasha betrayed the Ottomans will be answered in the new episode.
The revelation of this betrayal directly affects the war preparations of the Ottoman army, while the determination of the troops led by Sultan Mehmed increases even more. The steps taken to ensure trust in the army and erase the traces of betrayal provide a great motivation on the road to conquest.
Firing the Hawk Cannon! Siege of Constantinople Begins
Days of preparations in the Ottoman camp finally come to an end. Sultan Mehmed orders his army to attack and launches the great assault on Constantinople. The huge Shahi cannon, seen as the symbol of victory, is fired and a huge breach opens in the walls.
This shot increases the courage of the Ottoman soldiers and causes panic on the Byzantine side. Janissaries, azaps and raiders attack on Sultan Mehmed’s orders. However, Byzantium tries to stop the Ottoman soldiers with strong defenses.
Byzantine Resistance Continues
While the rain of arrows launched by the Neapolitan archers strains the Ottoman soldiers, the hot oil pouring from the walls and the Grejuva fire make the attack even more difficult. Nevertheless, the Ottoman troops advancing under Mehmed’s leadership are determined to overcome all obstacles with their courage and discipline.
Mehmed’s words “In this war, the private and the sultan are one” boost the morale of the soldiers, and the hope of victory energizes the entire army. However, the course of the war remains uncertain. Big surprises await Sultan Mehmed between the inner and outer walls.
Is Conquest Approaching?
As the great attack continues, the fate of Constantinople is also a matter of curiosity. Will the Ottoman army be able to enlarge the breach in the walls and enter the city? Will victory be achieved under Mehmed’s leadership? All these questions will be answered in the episode to be broadcast on Tuesday, January 7.
