Quick Facts Date, Location ...

The Persians, numerically superior,[3] were led by Abbas Mirza and fought the Russians, led by Pyotr Kotlyarevsky.[citation needed] A Persian offensive into Georgia, with its British and French-trained Nezam-e Jadid infantry,[4] initiated the battle. The Persians had also obtained European cannons from the French.[4]

The Persians won the battle by moving faster than the Russians and by attacking them near their camp with the reformed European-style infantry.[5] However, the Battle of Aslanduz and the Siege of Lankaran followed soon after, shifting the momentum of the war firmly in Russia's favor.[5]
