The Lower-Sava campaign (1445) was a night-time attack by John Hunyadi in the lower parts of the Sava river on a Turkish rading force.[3]
After the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Varna, Sultan Murad II launched a raiding force deep into Serbian territory. When John Hunyadi found out about this, he quickly assembled an army of his own in order to deal whit the threat.[4][2]
Hunyadi made camp right in front of the Ottoman army who had their own camp near the river side 1 mile away from Belgrade.[1]
Hunyadi silently approached the Ottoman’s camp and began to slaughter every single solider in sight.
Some sources state that a few Ottomans had managed to escape[3] while other sources say that the Ottomans were cut down to the last men.[5]
After the “battle” which was more like an ambush,[4] Hunyadi had no time to return home since the Counts of Celje had made some incursions into the Kingdom of Croatia which was in a personal union with Hungary at the time.[1][5]
