The siege of Šabac was undertaken by the Serbian rebel army detachments led by Jakov Nenadović against the city of Šabac, which supported the Dahije (renegade Janissaries). Šabac was situated in the frontier of rebel territory and was a refuge for the Dahije and their allies, thus, Nenadović set out to force the city into submission. Handed over on 1 May 1804, with the expulsion of the Dahije leader Mus-aga and his allies, the Šabac Turks remained in the fortress, recognized as Imperial possession. After subsequently giving refuge to Mus-aga, the Serbian rebels failed to surprise attack the city in 1805. The city was attacked many times in 1806 and was finally handed over on 6 February 1807 following the liberation of Belgrade.
