Udch

Udch or Uch () is an Ottoman military corridor for offensive. The historiographic term also describes a frontier, often controversial territory in medieval Balkan in the territory of Asia Minor, and later at the dawn of the Ottoman Empire - on the Balkan Peninsula. The Ottoman military leader distributes landed property (or fief) located on the border of the established state to his followers and wars, in return for their obligation to protect the border from external enemies, as a rule, believers (but not mandatory).
Udch or Uch was led by ouj Uch bey (Udch bey) and could be seen as a strategic corridor for the offensive used by the Seljuks in Asia Minor and later by the Ottomans in the Balkans in the second half of the 14th century.
Etymologically, the term is military and literally means the tip of an arrow or spear.
