Stoeneşti, near the Rucăr-Bran Pass. Sinan Pasha captured the capital, Bucharest, and left there Mehmed Pasha with 10,000 troops, then captured Târgoviște where he left another 1,500 troops and 30 cannons. The bulk of the Ottoman army advanced to Stoeneşti, where it took positions in front of the Wallachian army, but did not attack. On 6 September, the Transylvanian prince Sigismund Báthory arrived with around 7,500 cavalry to support Michael the Brave. Early October another 1,500 troops from the Habsburg Empire and 300 cavalry from Tuscany arrived. These combined forces attacked the Ottomans and eventually defeated them at Târgoviște (18 October), Bucharest (22 October), and Giurgiu (26 October).
