The Akmolinsk Prikaz was guarded by the troops of the senior sultan Konurkuldzha Kudaimendin and the garrison of the fortress, led by the Ivan Karbyshev.

Kazakh archers fired at the fortress with bows, attaching flammable tarred rags to the arrowheads.

Encouraged by the order of Kenesary, detachments of Agybai, Iman and Nauryzbai Batyrs broke the enemy resistance again and penetrated the fortification.

Inside the fortification, a real street fight began, which lasted with unrelenting persistence until dark.

At night, the Ivan Karbyshev and Konurkuldzha with small detachments fled from the burning fortress.
