The Battle of Rrzhanica took place from the plans of King Nikola of Montenegro. The King's intentions, with several others, was to invade Albania and dicusses plans with his general (Mark Miljanov) on how to do so. The word quickly was sent to the Albanians of Malësia. Marash Uci hastens to Çun Mula in Hoti and asks him to summon the tribal leaders of Hoti and Gruda to the Church of Saint John's, located in Hoti, without delay for a council meeting.
The men resolve to take to arms to defend their land, and make Çun Mula their commander. The Highlanders of Hoti and Gruda do battle with the forces of Mark Miljanov. The Montenegrins are defeated at Rrzhanica Bridge and Mark Milani is compelled to take flight. King Nikolla in Cetinje is informed of the defeat and is told that Albanian forces are massing at the border.
