The Battle of A'rm-Kurt was the 3rd and most brutal battle between in the Insurgency in Aukh and was initially fought between Aukh and the Golden Horde, with the Gazikumukh Shamkhalate joining the battle later on on the side of the Aukhs.[1][2][3]
Battle[edit]
In the previous 2 battles, the Aukh[lower-alpha 1] defeated the forces of the Golden Horde. Both sides met again in modern-day Chapayevo, Republic of Dagestan. In this battle, which was the most brutal one in the whole war, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Yanbek,[lower-alpha 2] who was the chieftain of Aukh and the leader of the insurgency, was killed in action, and the leadership went over to his son, Maida.[lower-alpha 3][3][2]
Although the battle was fierce, the numerical superiority of the Mongols led to the slow failure of the Aukhs to keep up. In the midst of fighting however, a Gazikumukh army led by Shovkhal I arrived and fought alongside the Aukhs. With the new ally, the tide of the battle soon turned in the favor of Aukh, and both armies combined managed to defeat and force back the Mongol army, killing around 3,000 of them.[2][4]
To honor the legacy of Yanbek, today, the mountains located in the Southern area of the Aukh District are called "Yanbeka lamnash",[lower-alpha 4] translating to "Yanbeks mountains" in the Chechen language.[5][2]
