When over 1,300 Cossack cavalry let out a sharp whistle and appeared at the rear flank of the Persian Holy War Knight Order, the outcome of the battle was already sealed.
The Persian heavy cavalry, having just gone through two rounds of full charge, were now exhausted and caught off guard by this sudden attack. They were almost without resistance and were divided into several parts, each fleeing in different directions.
By the afternoon of the next day, the Persian army, trapped on the northern side of the Kerchanski Hills, began to surrender after losing command and being heavily surrounded.
Aga Muhammad had ordered the main forces to retreat at dawn.
That night, Tbilisi was in a frenzy of celebration, rejoicing that they, alongside the Tsar's army, had repelled the brutal Persians.
