Capture of Ortova Reported by War Council in Vienna
Vienna dispatch dated April 71 notes Ortova fallen after a five day surrender option for the besieged garrison. Wartensleben allowed the commander to keep two artillery pieces as he and his troops retreat to Vidin. Orfova’s fortifications and stores render it a formidable defense with two years of provisions. Cobourg plans a combined attack on Vidin by sea and land, with over 200 vessels slated for the operation below Schupaneck.
