 In a major tactical blunder the Ottomans spent a whole day frontally attacking a well-entrenched pentagonal redoubt defended by two Serbian battalions armed with muzzle-loading rifles and 6 cannons supported by about 40 additional artillery pieces positioned on the overlooking hills.The Ottomans finally retreated towards the end of the day having lost 500 killed and 1,500 wounded and captured.The Serbian army did not press the advantage with a counterattack, however so it ended up as just a tactical success.
