Faik-pasha, who had long avoided a large-scale assault on the fortress, finally made up his mind: the Turks had a long-range Krupp cannon of great destructive power. One of its first salvoes seriously wounded the best gunner of the garrison, Kiryukha Postny.
The garrison's forces are running out. The last hope is for the approach of the army of General Ter-Gukasov. But there, apparently, they do not imagine the true position of Bayazet. Then the officers decide to send a messenger to Ter-Gukasov.
