We cannot say that Mehmed massacred the Moldavians at Valea Alba when he had much greater losses. The Moldavians rejected them several times until Mehmed ordered a general attack. The Moldovans had to retreat and left behind 800 men to cover the retreat. Among these 800 there were very large losses. Stefan did not lose so many soldiers, but he lost more than ten boyars from the Council of the country who were also fighting on the front line. Stefan could not use his entire army in this fight because he left part of his troops to protect his lands from the Tatar invasion that was taking place at the same time.

If they could defeat 100, 000 (of course this is a lie, why did they continue to pay tribute and why were they remained under Ottoman rule for centuries? Of course, the Ottoman army that was sent in 1475 was small and much less than 100, 000. In 1476 the Sultan with him the Crimean Khan invaded the Kingdom of Moldova with 100, 000 men and exterminated by sword nearly all of its men and burned and sacked all its cities and villages, and Stephen the Great did nothing but escaped north to seek refuge in Poland

Ancient Chinese experience:
domestic pigs are raised in all grasslands and forests,
all grains are put together with lard,
and all vegetables and fruits are fertilized with pig manure,
all prisoners of war and rebellious villagers must eat pork, and those who refuse to eat pork must be punished in public.
Today, China's pork consumption is still the first in the world.

It was a very smart move on his part.
But the biggest deciding factor of this battle was the geographic advantage of the fog removing visibility. Without the fog, the plan couldnt have worked, and the Ottomans woupd have swept them all aside.
The victory is beyond impressive by numbers alone, but i wouldnt call the man -genius-

The problem with the christian in medieval era is that they don't have unity in themselves instead of uniting and supporting each other's againts the Muslim invaders they turn themselves to one another. If only the christian united they can conquer and establish a Christian ground in anatolia and middle east.

Stephen was definitely a military genius, no doubt on that. But these numbers are ridiculous. 20 years ago during the siege of Constantinople, Mehmet II barely gathered 70. 000 men. And here a mere governor have 100. 000 under his command?

-Where were they excessively outnumbered? He had 40k troops against 100k Ottoman troops, and when you're on the offensive, you need 10 soldiers attacking for every 1 soldier defending to have a chance to conquer the defender? -

It's important to note that 100, 000 is probably exaggerated.
It is extremely unlikely that their number exceeded 45, 000-50, 000.
Still, the victory was impressive.

Stefan the Great has gathered the -Great Army- ie almost all the able bodied men of the voievodate so I think that some of my ancestors thought at Vaslui.

A pompous, over-wordy commentary undermines this presentation. A new writer with less delusions of literary grandeur might be advised.
