Video - The Heroic Battle of Sinan Pasha in the Egyptian Campaign

Hadım Sinan Pasha was sent to Diyarbekir as the serasker of the army preparing for the Egyptian Campaign. Later, he joined the forces of Sultan Selim in the Plain of Elbistan. He showed great heroism in winning the Battle of Mercidabik (1516). After Tomanbay, who succeeded Kansu Gavri to the Egyptian-Mamluk throne, continued the struggle, Selim Khan sent him to Gaza with a force of four thousand people. Sinan Pasha conquered Gaza in a short time. Later, in the Battle of Ridaniye, Yavuz Sultan Selim wandered around the Al-Muqattam Mountain and hung behind the Egyptian armies, while Sinan Pasha left him at the head of the Ottoman central forces instead. Realizing that he was about to lose the last war with violent attacks, Tomanbay attacked otag-ı hümayun with all his forces in order to kill Selim Han. Yavuz Sultan Selim was at the head of the forces that turned the enemy back. The Mamluks attacked this line with all their forces, thinking Sinan Pasha, the head of the central forces, was the sultan. Sinan Pasha, this cross made chest to chest
