The Battles of Batočina and Jagodina were several battles fought between 23 and 27 March 1804 in Batočina and Jagodina (central Serbia) between the Serbian Revolutionaries under Karađorđe and the Dahije (renegade Janissaries) under Kučuk-Alija.[1]
After a succession of violent battles, Kučuk-Alija's forces were surrounded and defeated in both Batočina and Jagodina.[2] Serb victories far and wide: a French newspaper Le Moniteur Universel reported on the Battle of Batočina on 12 April 1804:
<< L'autre jour, une bataille acharnée et sanglante a eu lieu à Batočina. Les rebelles encerclèrent cette ville qui abritait une garnison de 400 Turcs qui combattirent désespérément. Après plusieurs heures de combat, ils furent vaincus et presque tous moururent. Une centaine de rebelles serbes sont également morts.>>
(The other day a fierce and bloody battle was led at Batočina. The rebels surrounded this town which held a garrison of 400 Turks who desperately fought. After several hours of fighting, they were defeated and almost all of them died. A hundred Serbian rebels also died.)
