TheBattle of Shiderti, part of the largerFirst Sino–Kazakh War, took place in 1756 in the headwaters of theShiderty River, nearBayan-аul. TheKazakhs, led by batyrs Kabanbay, Kozhabergen, and Bogenbay, defeated the forces led by Generals Dardan and Khadakh. The site of this battle has retained the name "Shurshit kyrilghan" ("place of the defeat of pursuts, i.e., the Manchurian-Chinese").[1]
The decisive Kazakh-Chinese battle erupted in the headwaters of theShiderty River to the west ofBayan-Aul. Only 3,000 out of 20,000 Chinese soldiers remained alive. Significant losses, food shortages, and the onset of harsh winter forced theChinese authorities to recall the remnants of their troops. The victory of theKazakhs was costly but nonetheless significant.[2]
