In 1454 the Ottomans launched a major invasion against Serbia, at the helm of which was the Sultan himself, Mehmed the Conqueror. Initially, Serbs led by Nikola Skobalji\u0107 scored a decisive victory a month earlier near Leskovac, surprising a much larger Ottoman army. On the Morava River, Sultan Mehmed II left Feriz Bey and 32,000 of his troops to resist any possible counterattacks by the Serbs south of Kru\u0161evac.

The victory at Leskovac allowed John Hunyadi and \u0110ura\u0111 Brankovi\u0107 to decisively strike at the isolated Turkish army, and launch a major offensive, ravaging Ni\u0161 and Pirot, and burning down Vidin. Nikola Skobalji\u0107 continued his forays against the Ottomans, operating between Leskovac and Pri\u0161tina, and won several major victories against the armies of the sultan."@en .
