August 1532

Ottoman Sultan Suleiman and his army try again. They move towards Vienna. Arriving at the town of Koszeg on the Austrian border, they are stopped by the stubborn resistance of the town’s commander, Nikola Jurisic, and his 800 Croatian soldiers. Without any artillery, they withstand constant bombardment and as many as 19 general assaults. Eventually, the Ottomans retreat. Vienna is saved once again.
