The Battle of Katchkalikov, also known as the Battle of Ghatchalq, was a surprise attack conducted by the forces of Sheikh Mansur on a Russian army led by Colonel Savalyev on January 17, 1787.
History
On January 17, 1787, the Russian Empire organized a large force under the command of Colonel Savalyev and launched a campaign into Chechnya. As the army climbed the heights of Katchkalikov, a historical region in Chechnya, Sheikh Mansur's cavalry launched a surprise attack on the disorganized Russian army. The sudden ambush decimated Russian ranks, and after further fierce fighting, the mountaineer army left and retreated into the mountains.[1]
Russian punitive Campaign
As a result, a second army was mobilized and sent to Chechnya 2 days later, on January 19. Ravaging the plains of Chechnya, the Russians burnt down several settlements, after which they returned to their garrisons.[1]
