In this battle, Russian soldiers, under the command of Count Rumyantsev, defeated five times superior Turkish army.During the Russian-Turkish war of 1768-1774. Turks possessed a much more numerous army than Russian, due primarily to light and maneuverable cavalry, so Russian army often used the square as the basic form of construction of the army in battle.
