[9] On 26 August, Bagration's army, consisting of 25,000 soldiers, of whom 20,000 were infantry, launched an offensive, the ultimate goal of which was the city of Silistra.

[2] The Ottoman troops tried to stop the advance at Ressevat, but were defeated, resulting in 5,000 Turkish servicemen dead or captured.

[13] As before, Bagration had about 20,000 to 25,000 under his command, and with these forces he had to stubbornly hold the siege and repel attempts that were aimed at diminishing his goal.

By the middle of the day, Palen made his way to join Paskevich and asked him to start a retreat, to which he received a playful answer: "True, we can die, but we can fight back!".

His success was complemented by the fact that reinforcements arrived, and the Russian right flank was finally able to repel the Turkish onslaught.

Paskevich understood that the artillery of the Turks was causing him great damage, and that they would not be able to hold their positions with continuous rifle exchanges.

In a mixed order, Paskevich captured the positions of the Albanians and Turks, returning the previously lost cannons.

The Turkish positions were not eliminated, and another 20,000-strong army under the command of Grand Vizier Kör Yusuf Ziyaüddin Pasha was on its way to relieve Silistra.

[5][6] The Russians were unable to achieve long-term success, so they were forced to lift the siege of Silistra, which dragged out the war for another two years.

[25] The highest society of Russia was also indignant at the results of the battle,[11] sending letters to Bagration asking him not to go back across the Danube.

[28] The successes of the Ottomans during the Bagration campaign restored hope of victory in the war, and in 1811 the Turks launched a full-scale offensive against Russia.

However, this culminated in the Battle of Slobozia, where Michail Kutuzov, nicknamed the "Fox of the north", surrounded and forced the capitulation of the army of the Grand Vizier Laz Aziz Ahmed Pasha.
