> Middle ages wars stopped when gunpowder supplies ran out.

The arquebus is the first mass gunpowder weapon, and doesn't see large scale use until around the 1480s at the very, very tail end of the Middle Ages (the exact end date people use varies based on topic and region, but 1500 is a good, round date for the end).

In Medieval armies, your limiting factor is generally that food is being provided by ransacking the local area for food and that a decent portion of your army is made up of farmers who need to be back home in the harvest season. A highly competent army might be able to procure food without acting as a plague on all the local farmlands, but most Medieval states lacked sufficient state capacity to manage that (in Europe, essentially only the Byzantines could do that).
