It becomes even worse as it was also the french who executed Turkish garrisons and Muslims even if Sigismund promised them safe passage! This was also the reason crusaders were executed after the battle so egotistical kid also attacked teachers after getting an F lol

@saintyork You are assuming things without actually knowing Ottoman army at all. As Turks were nomads vast majority of Ottoman army was cavalry, for example in 1492 Ottoman had 6,000 Janissaries and 40,000 Sipahis. In Nicopolis infantry/cavalry ratio was similar if Ottoman didn't have way more cavalry. So it was natural for them to use feigned retreats often to break enemy formations then charge with their cavalry. It wasn't sacrifcing infantry for tiring them at all, that's just a false assumption. Even if the french waited for Sigismund to arrive there was no way on Earth they could destroy Ottoman army, at best they were going to force Ottoman army to retreat but they were going to regroup and attack them again next day. Their cavalry heavy armies were the real reason why Ottoman dominated pitched battles for several centuries and only lost against Timur who had more cavalry than them as another nomadic nation. And it was also the reason why Ottoman struggled a lot while capturing castles and cities as their cavalry was useless in sieges. So Ottoman infantry Janissaries always had great importance even if their numbers were much smaller as they were the ones capturing cities. Janissaries weren't Ottoman standing army at all, standing army was called Kapıkulu army and it had Kapıkulu heavy cavalry who were also guards of Sultans, Topçu ocağı (Artillery division), Janissaries (Infantry division), Cebeci ocağı (Supply division) and lağımcılar (Drillers) who were weakening walls etc had their own division. So those infantry in front lines weren't expandable soldiers or anything rather they were also Janissaries so Ottoman couldn't sacrifice them so easily if they wanted to capture anything..

Crusader army slaughtered almost all Muslims and even some Orthodoxs on their path to Nicopolis so it isn't exactly surprising Serbians fought against them. This was also the reason why Sultan Beyazid Khan ordered their execution..

One part was skipped crusaders executed small Turkish garrison of Oryahovo castle and other Muslims they captured. When Sultan Beyazid Khan learned about it he was furious ordering execution of entire crusader army which was a first in Ottoman history. Only some nobles for ransom and ''underage'' prisoners could survive the slaughter, they placed a spike to ground and anybody higher than that lost their heads. Turkish version of an eye of an eye could be a little unbalanced, Europeans also realized it and tried to not provoke Turks at least while they were powerful...

I was going to add it was the french who executed them as well but you added it yourself in the edit. They singlehandedly destroyed the crusade lol

They were way too heavy, it might work in local small battles in France but not against a real army in a pitched battle. Especially not against a mostly cavalry army like Ottoman had in Nicopolis..

As Turks were nomads Ottoman armies were vast majority cavalry in early Ottoman history. For example in 1492 Ottoman had 6,000 Janissaries and 40,000 Sipahis which was the real reason why they were so powerful in pitched battles but you know who had more cavalry than Ottoman..
