The leader of the rebel army, Murat Kuchukov, was wounded, captured, and eventually executed.

In 1708, the teachings and propaganda of Murat Kuchukov led to an uprising of the North Caucasians against Russia.

Raids by the mountaineers on the Russian fortification of Terki began increasing and in February of the same year, having gathered 1,500 to 1,600+ fighters, Kuchukov invaded the city, aiming to break through the Russian border and march to Bashkiria, where he planned to join the Bashkir rebels.

The attack ended by 4 o'clock in the afternoon and resulted in a major victory for the mountaineers, who established control over most of the city.
