 The same day the German IV Reserve Corps and the Bulgarian Ninth Division, having fended off a last Serbian counterattack toward Vranje and Kumanovo, reached the Field of Blackbirds and Priština, securing both the next day.Large numbers of prisoners and a good deal of booty were taken in both places, as well as in Novi Pazar, however, most of the Serbian Army had already withdrawn to Kosovo, managing to escape the enemy’s attempts to encircle them and force them to surrender.The ultimate prize that Mackensen and Seeckt sought, however, eluded them as Serbian forces followed by refugees had retreated to Prizren and headed toward the Adriatic coast from there.
