Suvorov had divided his combined army into two columns to advance towards the Ottoman formations at 2300 hours, and the next morning, after crossing the river Râmnicul Sărat, attacks.

As the Russians advance they cripple the enemy artillery and adopt infantry square formations to repel massive enemy cavalry counterattacks, which try to split his army in two

This done, the army storms the enemy camp and routs them completely.

At 1500 hours, after storming the Ottoman fortifications near the village Bogsa and reuniting with the Austrian army, the combined army now advances onto a general offensive towards the main Ottoman camp in the forest nearby.

While the Austrians advance and are pinning down enemy troops, the rest of Suvorov's army outflanks the enemy army and attacks them with cavalry, causing panic among the Ottomans who have almost nowhere to retreat but across the Râmnicul Sărat river, where most of them drown while trying to cross it.

At the cost of seven hundred casualties, Suvorov has inflicted about twenty trhousand casualties against the Turks, who are now in full retreat from the Danubian Principalities.

The Turks lose all their artillery and baggage train.
 
For this victory, Suvorov will be awarded the title of "Count of Rymnik" by the Russian Empress Catherine the Great.

On the other hand, the Ottoman vizier Cenaze Hasan Pasha will be dismissed on December 2, 1789, because of his defeat.

Meanwhile, the Habsburg forces occupy all of Wallachia until the war ends.
