Following the unification of Montenegro with Brda, the Ottoman governor of the Pashalik of Scutari launched a military offensive onto Montenegrin territory. Two Montenegrin divisions, led by Prince-bishopPetar I Petrović-Njegoš and guvernadurJovan Radonjić, containing 3,000 men, took positions near Martinići. The Shkodran Army numbering 15,000 soldiers invaded Montenegro and was divided into three parts, and with about 5,000 soldiers Kara Mahmud advanced towards Martinići from Spuž, meanwhile the other two armies under Mehmed Pasha Bushati and Osman Pasha Nikshić marched towards Cetinje, Kara Mahmud fought guerilla resistance for nine days, before launching an assault on Montenegrin positions on 11 July. Montenegrins counter-attacked and the Shkodran Army suffered significant casualties and Kara Mahmud was wounded in Battle.[1][2]
The result of this victory, followed by another victory at Krusi was the unification of Piperi and Bjelopavlići clan regions, previously occupied by the Ottoman Empire, with Montenegro.
