In the next battle between Khans and already the sons of the Avar nutsal on the one hand and Fatali Khan on the other, the first were defeated, both sons of the Avar nutsal died and the Khans fled to their lands again. In 1774, Muhammad-nutsal himself opposed Fatali Khan and together with Aghasi Khan he finally managed to capture Shamakhi. However, soon, led by the forces recruited in his possessions and the detachment of Malik Muhammad Khan of Baku, Fatali Khan also hiring the Akushites moved to Shirvan. The Avar nutsal and Aghasi Khan moved to meet and entered into battle with him. The army of Aghashi Khan was defeated and fled, and the Nutsal decided to continue the fight, but in the end was defeated too.
