Stephen III defeated Hadım Suleiman Pasha's Ottoman army at Podul Înalt near Vaslui on 10 January 1475.
Fought at the High Bridge near Vaslui, the engagement saw approximately 40,000 Moldavian troops defeat an Ottoman force of 30,000 to 120,000. This victory resulted from Stephen's refusal to pay tribute and his intervention in Wallachia, prompting the Ottoman invasion ordered by Mehmed II.
