Siege of Silistra
The Siege of Silistra took place during the Crimean War. In this action, Russian forces besieged the Ottoman fortress town of Silistra. While initially successful, the Russians were forced after several weeks to abandon the siege and retreat.
==Background==
This battle took place during the Danube campaign of the Crimean War. In the spring of 1854, following the winter lull in campaigning, the Russians determined to advance into Ottoman territory. In the east an army numbering 45,000 under Gen A.N. Luders crossed the border from Bessarabia into Dobruja to occupy various strong points there. By the beginning of April the Russians were at the site of Trajan's Wall, 30 miles east of Silistra. Meanwhile, the central force under M.D. Gorchakov had crossed the river and had advanced to lay siege to Silistra itself. At Silistra an Ottoman force of 20,000 was encamped in the town, which was heavily fortified.
