Background
The Ottoman Empire was populated with lots of various peoples. Manifold tribes made up the army, while there were many irregular forces. They were armed with varied steel weapons and sometimes bows or muskets. These savage warriors terrified enemies by their brutality and rapidity. However, like in all irregular armies, the weak discipline made them very unstable in a battle.
