Editing Ottoman military reforms (section)

==== Artillery ====
The artillery was divided into the [[Topçu Ocağı|''topçu ocağı'']] (artillery corps) and the ''humbaracı ocağı'' (mortar corps), these 2 groups received the most attention from the reformers with French and Spanish assistance during the 1807 [[Anglo-Turkish War (1807–1809)|Anglo-Turkish war]], where the Ottoman artillery assembled 322 cannons and mortars alongside thousands of troops to defend the coastline of the Sea of Marmara, necessitating a British withdrawal. The Topçu corps alone contained 30,000 men and the ''suratçı ocağı'' (rapid-fire gun corps) had 2,000 men. The artillery corps had 10 infantry assigned per gun and they jointly garrisoned the European side of the Boshporus.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Nicolle |first=David |title=Armies of the Ottoman Empire 1775-1820: No. 314 (Men-at-Arms) |publisher=Osprey |year=1998 |edition=978-1855326972 |pages=17–24}}</ref>
