Battle of the Rumble


Battle of Rymnik - Battle of the Russian-Turkish War 1787-1792 on 22 September 1789 on the river Râmnicu Sărat (tributary Seret, now in Romania).

The Turkish army commander, the great vizier Jusuf Pasha, linked demonstrations with the main Russian forces in the Izmail stronghold and directed his main forces under the command of Prince Kaburski, at that time concentrated in the Fokshana region (rum Focsani). A. Suvorov, commander of the Russian corps, who was concentrated in the Byrdaya Regiment, received news of the Turkish troops on the night of 19 September, sent a 7,000-strong unit to help the Austrian troops. The Russian division, after a march in about 2.5 days, arrived in the Fokhana area (Focsani) about 100 kilometers earlier than the Turks. The reconnaissance reported that the Turks did not expect any attacks on the part of the enemy and destroyed 4 camps between the rivers Rymn and Rymnik. Suvor took over the whole of the Russian-Austrian forces and decided to launch a raid. He made a fourteen-kilometer march in the Majkanesti area and the Russian-Austrian army invaded the first Turkish camp. By the fire of the quadrangles counterattacked by the Turkish columns, the Russian-Austrian army decidedly struck down the remaining three Turkish camps, after which the Turkish troops in panic began to decline.

The losses of the Russian-Austrian troops amounted to about 700 soldiers killed and missing. The Turks lost 6-20 thousand killed and wounded, all artillery and camps, according to various sources.

Suvorov won the title for Count Rimnik. Bibliography
