Ţepeş writes in a letter to Corvinus, dated February 2, 1462, that Hamza Pasha had been captured close to the former Wallachian fortress of Giurgiu.
He then disguises himself as a Turk and advances with his cavalry towards the fortress where he orders the guards in Turkish to have the gates open.
This they do and Ţepeş attacks and destroys the fortress.
