During the Ottoman–Persian War of 1730–1735, Qaplan I Giray received the "Highest order" from the Turkish sultan to invade the Safavid Empire through Dagestan.

They stayed there for 5 days, waiting for the arrival of Kalmyk forces under Donduk Omb, with whom they were supposed to invade Persia together.

The Chechens answered briefly: «Everything for the Khan, tribute and women; But only after we have all died»[1] Aidemir, who was an ally of Qaplan I Giray, was forced to join the resistance under the pressure from his people.

At the beginning of the campaign, Qaplan wrote to Aidemir: "Honorable Aidamir-bek, other military leaders and the entire Chechen people, we, thanks to God, with the faithful army from Crimea have set out and we intend to go to your lands... On arrival near the village of Kuban, we sent our messenger Hadji Suleiman to your side.

As soon as the small Crimean detachment entered the gorge, near the modern village Prigorodnoe, the Chechen militias rushed into battle and almost completely encircled the invaders, after which a brutal massacre began.

The Chechen cavalry combined with archers, the effective usage of rifles and pistols, almost destroyed the Crimean detachment.

[1] After the news of the defeat reached Qaplan, he, seized by anger, sent in another 5,000 troops, but this time the detachment was made up of the Khan's best Mirzas and princes.

Although superior in both numbers, equipment and recourses, the Crimean cavalry proved useless in the rugged and densely forested Chechen land.

Nevertheless, the victory ended the centuries long conflict between the two sides and forced the Crimean Khanate to give up their plans of conquering Chechnya forever.
