The Battle of Jilehoy was a battle between the Russian Empire and Circassia in 1787.[1][2]

Battle[]

The Russians decided to make a grand attack in 1787.[1] This resulted in the Battle of Jilehoy. At first, the Russians were losing,[1][2] but they won after additional forces arrived.[1] After winning the battle, the Russian army raided the Abaza, Besleney, Chemguy and Hatuqway regions and burned near a hundred villages. In 1788, the Russians besieged the Bighurqal (Anapa) castle, but failed.
