The Empress's Ranger. The Border

The army of General Field Marshal Rumyantsev defeated the Turkish forces in Northern Rumelia and crossed the Balkans. The magnificent Porte requested peace, and on July 10, 1774, it was concluded in the locality of Kучук-Kайнарджи. The first Turkish war of Catherine II, which brought glory to the Russian arms, ended for the Russian Empire with a great victory. Nevertheless, the threat to its southern lands from the Turks remained, and they themselves did not hide that they were preparing for revenge. The Russian army, having defeated the enemy, was retreating from Rumelia, Wallachia, and Moldavia to its territory. Most of its forces now remained near the Dnieper, defending New Russia. The special company of rangers under Captain Egorov had no time for peaceful rest. It was their skills in conducting firearm combat in a scatter formation that the empire needed right now. Company, to battle!
