Bayazid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Turks was besieging Constantinople. The number of his troops is not given but is said to be greater than Tamerlane's. Tamerlane appeared to withdraw into the mountains at the Ottomans approach. The Ottomans set up their camp and established their supply base before setting off in pursuit. Tamerlane doubled back, took the camp and supplies and waited for the Ottoman force to return. When they did they were tired, hungry, and very thirsty. In a desperate battle Bayazid was taken prisoner and the Ottoman Turks were defeated.
