"Yanbeks mountains".Almost nothing is known about the fourth battle, but there is a historical reference to the 5th and final battle, the Battle of Dylym. Before the Battle of Dylym found place, Timur, who prepared for an invasion of the Golden Horde, sent a "Rasul" (messenger) to Ma'adiy, expressing support for the Avakhar struggle against the Golden Horde. The allied forces of Aukh, Gazikumukh Shamkhalate and the Timurid Empire came out victorious, defeating the Golden Horde, after which the Mongols withdrew from the region, granting the Avakhar their independence. Despite Simsir and Golden horde's allied relations, the Avakhar did end up supporting their southern neighbor Simsir during the Timurid invasion. The first 4 battles are more of a legendary event, however the 5th battle is mentioned in Zafarnama. Aftermath and long term effects Destruction and revival of a Durdzuk state With the death of Chakh soon after the siege of Dedyakov, the principality of Durdzuketi dissolved, as the mountaineers no longer recognized the royal house above themselves. A Durdzuk state would later be established after Khour's reconquest of the plane, afterwhich the Principality of Simsir was established, which would later collapse as a result of the Timurid invasions as well as the death of Surakat, afterwhich a long period of political fragmentation and civil war followed. Religious implications Pagan sanctuaries as well as the Orthodox Christian churches in the south were utterly destroyed. Under the conditions of the invasion, Christianity was unable to sustain itself in Chechnya, and as its sanctuaries and priests fell, those who had converted reverted to paganism for spiritual needs. As a result, "neo-paganism" gained in ascendance, as many new pagan temples were built, while Orthodox Christian churches were converted. The Malkhi, Lam-Ähkiy, and Kist clans, which reside in southern areas, however, remained Orthodox Christian. Cultural effects The utter destruction of the Durdzuks' statehood, their lifestyle (and in the south, their religion), and much of their knowledge of history caused them to rebuild their culture in many ways. The population developed various methods of resistance and much of their later lifestyle during the resistance to the Mongols and in between the two wars. The clan system mapped onto battlefield organization. Guerrilla tactics using mountains and forests were perfected. It was during the Mongol invasions that the military defense towers that one associates today with the Vainakh population (see Nakh Architecture) came into being. Many served simultaneously
