Background

In 1723, the Dzungar forces led by Tsewang Rabtan [8] and his commanders [9] invaded the Middle and Senior Jüz, [10] waging a new war against the Kazakhs. During the invasion, the Dzungars had captured regions on Jetisu, Southern Kazakhstan, Syr Darya, Fergana Valley, Irtysh, Shu River, Talas River, Arys and Boroldai rivers [11] [12] as well as causing a mass migration from indiscriminate attacks on civilians and with forced displacement, known as the Years of the Great Disasters. [13] Later by 1726 after a peace with the Kalmyks, the Khans of all three jüzes united and organized a meeting on Ordabasy, creating a force led by Abulkhair khan with Abilmambet, Samake, Jolbars, Barak and more Kazakh batyrs joining his forces. [14]

Battle

In 1727, in the foothills of Ulytau, the Kazakhs had attacked the Dzungar army, against the commander — Shono-Dov, as both sides took heavy casualties and with the Kazakhs defeating the Dzungars and calling it the "Kalmak kirilgan" or "Where Kalmaks perished". [15] [16]

Aftermath

After the battle, the Kazakhs still hadn't liberated regions like Jetisu, they soon later made another peace agreement with the Kalmyks. [17] Another meeting took place as they chose Abulkhair again to command the new united Militia against the Dzungars, for a final showdown against the Dzungar army. [18]
