Editing Janissary (section)

==Battles==
The Ottoman Empire used Janissaries in all its major campaigns, including the 1453 capture of [[Constantinople]], the defeat of the [[Mamluk Sultanate of Cairo]] and wars against [[Hungary]] and [[Austria]]. Janissary troops were always led to the battle by the Sultan himself, and always had a share of the [[Looting|loot]]. The Janissary corps was the only infantry division of the Ottoman army. In battle the Janissaries' main mission was to protect the Sultan, using cannon and smaller firearms, and holding the centre of the army against enemy attack during the strategic fake forfeit of Turkish cavalry. The Janissary corps also included smaller expert teams: explosive experts, engineers and technicians, sharpshooters (with arrow and rifle) and sappers who dug tunnels under fortresses, etc.{{Citation needed|date=October 2019}}
