[7] The Ottoman army under the command of Grand Vizier Koca Sinan Pasha went on a campaign in the summer of 1595 against the Wallachia, which rebelled shortly after the start of the Long Turkish War.

Realizing this fact during the poll in Bucharest, Koca Sinan Pasha gave the order to withdraw first to and then to Rusçuk by crossing Danube.

Sinan Pasha banned the passage from the bridge to the other side of the Danube and appointed an emin and a clerk to the bridgehead and collected the pencik tax for two days.

During this process, a huge accumulation occurred at the beginning of the bridge due to the presence of more than 10,000 animals and thousands of prisoners along with the soldiers.

After the departure of Koca Sinan Pasha, some of the remaining soldiers took shelter in Yörgöğü Castle, while the rest attacked the bridge.

When the troops under the command of Sokolluzade Hasan Pasha, who were given the duty of Karavul (outpost), were dispersed in the conflict with the vanguards of the Wallachian army.
