Russian Army Defeats Turks Near Bidlokith River
An intercepted Moscow dispatch describes August engagement near the Bidlokith and Molekitch rivers. Veldt-Marshal Count Munich led the Russian army in a night march and formed a hollow square to repulse Turkish forces, claiming the enemy suffered heavy losses and retreated across the rivers. Report notes 60,000 Janissaries and Spahis threatened to block the Niefer, while Russian sources praise several officers amid claims of water shortages and looming fresh battle news.
