As the Hungarian army's most formidable force, the heavy cavalry presented a daunting challenge. Clad entirely in armor and interconnected by thick chains, these units posed a formidable obstacle for the Ottoman troops to overcome. Thus, the Ottomans resorted to pre-planned tactics of encirclement and strategic withdrawal to counter their advance. When the Hungarian forces launched a unified assault, the Ottomans responded with a swift hit-and-run tactic using a small cavalry unit, drawing them towards the center of the army, where 300 cannons awaited. Suddenly, the skirmishers withdrew, leaving the Hungarian forces vulnerable to the devastating barrage of artillery fire. In an instant, more than half of the Hungarian army, including the heavy cavalry, was decimated by the simultaneous onslaught. The skirmishers then encircled and annihilated the fleeing units, while those attempting to escape through the marshes of the Mohács Plain met a watery demise. Key elements to emphasize: the presence of 300 cannons, the strategic use of encirclement and withdrawal tactics, the formidable heavy cavalry, and the treacherous marshland. --ar 5:7
