Fighting in this area continued in the late 15th and early 16th centuries.

Turkish Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent captures Šabac on the 7th. July 1521 and Mačva remained under the rule of the Turks until the famous Viennese War of 1683-1699. years. The Turks are rebuilding the Macho fortress, which they call the Noćaj fortress. During this period, Macvo was ruled by the Dizdars, and most of the military troops who set out to conquer Austria and Hungary stayed there.
