After crushing the Russian Empire's attempt to approach the fort using tunneling methods, the Ottoman Empire's army turned back to the fort without hesitation.
On their return journey, the Ottoman Empire soldiers were shaken by the thunderous roar of cannons fired from the island in the river, with shells falling near the Russian Empire's trenches.

The explosion from the twenty-four-pound cannonball created a moderately sized crater in the flat ground, and the dust rising behind the trenches obscured the view from the fort, preventing Musa Pasha and others from seeing whether the Russian corps still occupied the trenches under the cover of night.
"Surely these Russians won't dare to attempt such a thing again after such a lesson!" Musa Pasha said lightly in English as he put down his binoculars.
