624 CE

Khosrau, withdrawing most of his troops from Chalcedon, assembles three armies to trap and destroy Heraclius' forces.

The Persians go into winter quarters nearby, but Heraclius attacks them at Tigranakert in Western Armenia.

Routing the forces of the generals Shahin Vahmanzadegan and Shahraplakan, the imperial forces destroy their baggage train.
