Yet this comparatively modern and highly elaborate military organization had little to do with OttomanHungarian warfare, if not in the sense of being a deterrent to Ottoman activity as part of a supposed “grand strategy” pursued by Matthias. Against the king of Bohemia, and especially Frederick of Habsburg, Matthias waged a typical war of attrition, with sieges that went on for months, even years. Alongside these lengthy sieges, the kind of raiding undertaken by the light cavalry troops, backed by a massive block of men-at-arms, was enough to break the resistance of a weak and hesitant opponent such as Frederick III. On the Ottoman front, however, with the exception of some strategic but (by contemporary standards) short sieges carried out with a full contigent of men (e.g. 1463 at Jajce and 1475-76 at Šabac) and outside the normal campaigning season, Matthias confined his efforts to the typical chevauchée warfare that was to become the dominant feature of Hungarian military operations after 1490. This was because, unlike in the Czech and Austrian wars, on the Ottoman front the siege of any strategically important stronghold would inevitably have triggered a major counterattack, forcing Matthias to either accept the challenge and risk his army in a pitched battle or withdraw ingloriously, as he did in the autumn of 1464.
Что характерно - "massive block of men-at-arms" как-то не особо останавливал оттоманов, которых частенько описывали как "рвань и погань", от "challenge" на венгерское войско.
From the perspective of the Ottoman war, the most important development during the reign of Matthias was the expansion and growing importance of light cavalry forces. Ethnic groups specialized in light cavalry warfare had always played a major role in Hungarian armies, such as the Cumans under Louis I and the Székelys, whose military service was confined to the defence of Transylvania. Indeed, it has recently been observed that, contrary to the firmly held conviction of older scholarship, a great part of those Czech mounted mercenaries employed by Matthias, who were thought to have been heavily armoured men-at-arms, were in fact lightlyarmoured mounted crossbowmen. The Serbian refugee nobles, such as Vuk Branković, titular despot of Serbia from 1471, or the Jakšić family, who from the 1460s received a landed endowment from Matthias in return for military service, were mounted raiders par excellence, their efficiency proved not only by the havoc they wreaked in Poland and later all over Austria but also by their important contribution to military operations on the Ottoman front in 1466, 1476, 1479, and 1480.

These beys, foremost the Mihal ogullar and the Malkoc ogullar, passed their offices from father to son and became better acquainted with the most profit able ways of crossborder raiding than anyone else in the Ottoman Empire. The forces they led into the neighbouring Christian territories chiefly consisted of lightly armed, fast moving horsemen, for the most part already settled warrior peasants, whose aim was neither conquest nor to provoke a fight, but to return with as much booty after as much destruction as possible.
Насколько понимаю - именно эта публика была главным фигурантом почти непрерывной приграничной войны. При этом масштабы рейдов могли быть значительными - битвы на Хлебном поле и Кровавом поле это в первую очередь массы акынджи.
P.S. Если правильно понимаю - вот примерно этой категории и соответствует "драный гусар/стратиот". По Иналджику "очаг" из 25-30 военнообязанных выставлял в поход 5 человек. То есть, грубо - 1 с 5. Можно отметить, что в Пскове для обороны на своей территории брали 1 всадника с ~12 дворов. Для дальнего похода - 1 с ~30.
