The Battle of Čačak was undertaken by the Serbian rebel army detachments led by Lazar Mutap and Milić Drinčić against the town of Čačak, in the hands of the Dahije (renegade Janissaries). Čačak was situated in the frontier of rebel territory and serving as an entrance point to Šumadija. Although numerically superior, the Turks failed in an attack on the Serb trench and in the Serb siege fled the town in the night after being fiercely attacked.
