One of the ingenious Ottoman military tactics is shown by the campaign of the Byzantine Empire in Constantinople in 1453.

During this battle, the Byzantine empire's army used giant chains that hung at the door of Golden Horn Bay, a waterway linking Constantinople to the Sea of ​​Marmara. Byzantine soldiers did so in an attempt to block the advance of the Ottoman war union near the capital of Constantinople.

To overcome this line of defense, the Ottoman army pulled the boat ashore . Next, Ottoman soldiers used a large amount of round wood as a roller to move boats on land.

Thanks to this tactic, the Ottoman army's ships were transported around the mouth of the bay before launching and fighting the enemy. Therefore, the Byzantine Empire army in Constantinople was attacked by many Ottoman forces.

Eventually, the Byzantine Empire fell to strong attacks and the capital Constantinople fell into the Ottoman hands on May 29, 1945.
