In response to the heavy artillery fire of the Russian side throughout August, the Turkish garrison managed to inflict losses on the besiegers with sortie operations.

The effective exit from the castle on September 27 cost the Russian army more than 2,000 casualties, compared to the Turkish garrison's loss of 500 soldiers.

Although the Russian army launched a two-day general attack on the castle on November 2, they suffered heavy losses.

The surrender offer sent to the castle by the Russian army, who thought that the attack had shaken the Turkish garrison, was also rejected.
