Turbulent Camp Movements and Turkish Threats Near Belgrade
A late 18th century despatch reports Imperial forces under Count Wallis near Crentos and Semlin, with news of Turkish advances and bombardments. 12 000 troops, 500 brass cannons, and 150 mortars brace to repel assault as traffic via Semlin remains critical. 13 000 Janissaries are said to be gathering, while three Turkish saluks blow up ships near the Teines mouth. Bratislava to Belgrade communications note Schmettau’s departure and Lobkowitz’s reinforcement plans in Transylvania as operations shift along the Temes river.
