Subdeacon Joe Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Or How A Bugle Changed A War Quote When the Turks began their charge, Ademovic managed to slip through, as the battle was heating up. He was sneaking behind enemy lines, with only a trumpet in his hand. An act of courage or sheer madness, he did something for what he would be remembered for the rest of his life. Having learned the call for the retreat he sounded it as loud as he could. The Ottoman Army was surprised and lost momentum. Some of them followed the false order, while some continued to march forward. There was chaos within their ranks. And all thanks to the magic trumpet of Ahmed Ademovic. But to ensure the victory, Ademovic had to run back to his lines and sound the attack, for that was how large armies oriented on the battlefield at the time. It was necessary to follow the signals, for a common soldier didn’t have an overview of the situation. Ahmed then ran as fast as he could, arriving just in time to seize the moment. The Serbian Army, after hearing the call for the charge, started their counter-attack, driving the Ottomans from the battlefield. The Serbian Army suffered a large blow because of its lack of organization and misinterpreted the movement of the Ottoman Army. As the battle was coming to a close, the Serbian headquarters were still convinced that this was a mere vanguard, judging from the lack of resistance, for they didn’t know about Ademovic’s endeavor.
