Fourth Siege of Krujë

Ottoman forces under Evrenosoğlu Ahmed Bey began a blockade of Krujë in spring 1477 to cut off supplies.

The siege strategy avoided direct assault on difficult terrain, instead focusing on a prolonged blockade to exhaust the garrison's resources and prevent reinforcements from reaching the Venetian-held fortress.
