Yes, Kings and Generals are very good, I watch them since their first video about Battle of Kosovo. But many of videos have plenty of inaccuracies. For example here is said what Mehmet conquered in his campaign from 1476 the Akkerman fortress which is not true, only his son Bayazid will do this 8 years latter. Second video from HistoryMarche I liked more because how was estimated the real number of troops from both sides.

Mehmet was a very good military commander but he was also very lucky. He came close to death on at least 3 occasions - Kosovo, Belgarde and Targoviste.
If we're talking individual battles then The Night Attack at Targoviste can also be counted as a defeat for Mehmet.

Who? Stephan? In the battle of Vaslui he had all the advantage on his side. First, this battle took place in the middle of winter, weird decision for Ottomans to make wars in this period of year. Another thing is what Stephan was prepared and he knew about the enemy who comes in his country, this is the reason why he had and allies troops. And the last thing who was decisive for victory was the weather. In the day of the battle the valley where this battle took place was covered with dense fog. Stephan was a very religious man, and he believed what this was a sign from the God. I think this is the reason why he did not celebrate the victory, but gave all the credits to the God. The next battle from 1476 was more dramatic for him, this time Ottomans was more prepared.
