The Battle of Nikopol, or Nicopolis, was one of the early battles of the Russo-Turkish War, 1877–78. As the Russian army crossed the Danube River, they approached the fortified city of Nikopol (Nicopolis). The Turkish high command sent Osman Pasha with the troops from Vidin to oppose the Russians crossing the Danube. Osman's intentions were to reinforce and defend Nikopol. However, the Russian IX Corps under General Krudener reached the city and bombed the garrison into submission before Osman could arrive. He instead fell back to Pleven. With the Nikopol garrison eliminated the Russians were free to march on to Pleven.
