Miloš was informed that a large army was gathering around Požarevac and that the Ottoman Turks were being assisted by the delibaša of Vidin's vizier along with 1900 deli troops, who had made six trenches and had one cannon.

On the way to Požarevac in Batočina, Miloš found a trench with 2000 Arnauts.

Then, after this victory, the insurgents crossed the Morava and headed towards Požarevac.

Miloš then sent his scribe with a proposal that the Turks surrender and leave the pocket and the cannon, and that he would get a safe passage to Turkey.

During the battle, Jovan Vukomanović, the brother-in-law of Prince Miloš and the brother of Princess Ljubica, was killed.
