The Battle of the Terek River is the second major battle of Tokhtamysh–Timur war.

It takes place at the Terek River, North Caucasus.

Tokhtamysh cavalry attack the right flank and the center of Timur's army.

However, some Golden Horde emirs go over to Timur's side.

This helps Timur defeat the left flank of Tokhtamysh's army and then the whole army itself.

The victorious army of Timur pursues that of Tokhtamysh, annihilating cities while staying on the Volga.

The destroyed cities include Xacitarxan, (Astrakhan) Azaq, Majar, Sarai al-Jadid, and Ukek.
