January 1813 CE

The large army of Persian ruler Fath Ali Shah, stationed in Aslan Duz, is led by the heir to the throne,  Abbas Mirza.

The Russian squad, headed by the charismatic Major General Pyotr Kotlyarevsky, using the element of surprise night attack, had routed the Persians who were still at sleep and quickly moved on to storm Lankaran victoriously in the beginning of 1813, thus ending any Persian hopes of continuing the war or settling on even peace terms for both parties.
