Best Answer

Yes, the siege of Vienna failed in 1683.

This was because of the Turkic army leader Kara Mustafa, who was not educated in this position, as he had lost a lot of previous battles. He lacked the right heavy artillery to attack the great protecting moat, walls and bastions of Vienna. His troops were frightened by the sudden appearance of the relieving army led by Jan III Sobieski, the Polish king of that time. Nevertheless, the relieving army was not only made of the poles, but also consisted of Germans and other Austrians. Kara Mustafa had underestimated the power of the relieving forces, and spent too much time focusing on his mining plans. He therefore fled to his safety, failing his siege of Vienna and leaving behind the wounded and the dead, as well as great booty for the Viennese folk.
