The top could only fire 3-4 times per day. Some taking a 500kg canon ball. You can see one of them at the museum today in Istanbul. Technology won. Sultan was smart and used religious fervor, technology, superior attack/siege tactics and had a multi-ethnic force. Technology also was downfall of Ottoman empire. They forgot what made them great and post WW1, results showed.
id say the main reason the sultan won in 1453 is due to him fighting a war against a literal city. This was not the great roman empire of legend he was fighting, it was a weakened greek rump state which was attacked from every angle for about 300 years prior to this event and even before. There is nothing commendable about 1453. The romans were fish in a barrel. Only thing commendable about 1453 is the honorable Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos, who died with a sword in his hand for his people.
@Huso Ucar We didn’t lose. We never lost. Rome lives on even if the empire itself has been long gone. Everywhere i look i see Rome. Anyways, the shit flinging mess that was the ottoman empire lasted for a measly 600 years. Sad. Cope and seethe barbarian
@Huso Ucar European cities as in Paris, Berlin and London. Aka shithole barbarian countries. The Romans still exist to this day, as do the Ottomans. Rómi aníkiti.
@@joannes4321 Do remember that Orban's massive bombards, while capable of dealing tremendous damage to Constantinople's western wall, is so difficult to reload and tend to overheat. This means that the cannons can only be fired a few times every day, thus giving the defenders enough time to make a hasty patch job on the walls. They also managed to block the Golden Horn with a chain, preventing the Ottoman fleet from flanking them. Both of these factors, combined with Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos' charisma and ability to uplift the morale of Constantinople's populace and defenders, and the willingness of everyone in the city to defend it (soldiers, peasants, Genoan mercenaries, and members of the Christian Church, Catholic and Orthodox alike), turns a swift fall into a long, drawn out siege. Only when Mehmet II orders his fleet to move the ships overland into the Golden Horn, circumventing the chain and allowing the fleet to break Constantinople's thinner northern wall, that the tide of battle turns to the Ottomans' favor. This also caused confusion, as some defenders of the western wall hastily moved to defend the northern wall against Ottoman bombardments. When the Ottomans begin their final assault on the wall, the Genoan commander got mortally wounded, thus routing his men. The Ottomans then managed to take control on the outer and inner walls of the west side, and even managed to capture the Kerkoporta, one of Constantinople's gates. Emperor Constantine then lead a final assault to take the gate back from the Ottomans, and died in battle
@@farizkeren5730 Ottomans would have won either way, 80,000+ ottoman soldiers against 11,000 roman soldiers couldn’t be won. The Theodosian walls were crumbling before the siege even began from crusaders and bulgars. Nothing about the battle from the ottoman perspective is strategically impressive. Big ass bombard go boom. The ships crossing land into the golden horn isn’t a new thing, the romans did the exact same thing in the siege of nicaea.

@@mukhtarsyajaratun1025 Good question, I read about it and found out that Orban was from a Transylvanian Saxon city (Brasov), and even if he was ethnically Hungarian, national allegiance wasn't a thing back then. Secondly he was later hired by the Hingarians in the 1460s I suppose they didn't want to hire him during peacetime by the time of the siege of Constantinople 1453.
I agree, but at the same time it's very simple.. The problem today is we always think back then, they were still simple lol. They were every bit as smart as we are today if not smarter, just the technology we take for granted wasn't found yet.
Fatih Sultan Mehmet, during the conquest of Istanbul, transported about 70 ships over land in one night to bypass a chain blocking the Golden Horn. This event occurred in 1453, and the Ottoman fleet's ships were moved from the land between Galata and Sarayburnu into the Golden Horn. This strategic move played a significant role in the conquest of the city.
joke aside, yes this cannon can. the canon ball is a pure solid stone and with some fire force around that stone. but they're earth bender. they can easily repair the wall.. Wall of Ba Sing Se just purely made from sandstone thingy, right? And dont have layers. Even that Fire Nation drills can drill the wall but then Aang stops it. And btw, that drill vs ba sing se wall maybe inspired by this event. Ottoman Huge Canon vs Thick n Tall Wall.
@@DBT1007 also thats how romans stand that long After the canons shoot they tooked 3 hour to reload, and during that time byzantine workers fixed walls, imagine how fast a few earth bender can fix the walls But I have a idea, what about a burning canonball that hitting to sandatone that hard its turning it into glass and shatter it? Or a canonball maded from soft lead that its spreading and filling the holes its opened with metal plates.
@Huso Ucar It is smaller, but still massive for a cannon, and definitely works well as an anti-ship weapon. It is also faster to reload, and less likely to blow up from overheating Dardanelles Gun: 17 ft, 16.8 tons Orban's Gun: 27 ft, around 354 tons (1 ox can pull around 5.9 tons of weight, and it took 60 oxen to pull the gun all the way to Constantinople) (the cannon has to be sturdy enough to not be destroyed every time it fires) And of course it's not an exact replica, the techniques used to built the Dardanelles Gun is more advanced than the ones used by Orban
fun fact: most muslim fanstics refer to ottoman empire as the great carrier of islams, yet they forget thst the ottoman wanted to see themselves as romans and integrated a multi religious and ethnic empire with a policy if leniency towards all religious minorities
This cannon ( 17 ft. ) was build 13 years later after the conquest of Constantinoble. It was nearly half the size of Urban's Basilica cannon ( 30 ft.) and was made by Münir Ali.
No wonders it took 3 hours to reload, amazing
I think it took 3 hours to cool down so it could fire again.
No wonders it took many days to built a wall it shuns down in one shot 🧿
16.8 Tons, 3 hours to reload, frickin decimated the walls, that cannon should’ve continued it’s existence.

Not an really fun fact but, they used to shoot this canon untill it exploded!! So yes, the crew died along with the canon!!!
Actually only two of them exploded at conquest and today u can see them in 1453 museum in istanbul. They're real huge than ur imagine.
The cannon was so huge and heavy that around 100 yaks have used to pull it around !
I really wondered how the hell the ottomans loaded their huge ass cannons and if they were shot at a ship It wold probably obliterate it completely!
