With the Ottoman army absent in Asia, Lazar I of Serbia rebelled against Sultan Murad I and attacked a depleted Turkish force at Plotchnik (Plocnic), on the Toplitsa, southwest of Nish in central Serbia. Aided by Turtko of Bosnia, Lazar secured a decisive victory. However, two years later he was defeated and killed by Murad at Kossovo.
