Tamar's campaign of Eldiguzids

First, they entered Nakhichevn and exited Jugha and Araxes and entered the narrow gorge of Darduzi. From here they reached Marand, a big city of Adarbadan. The people of Marand were informed about the approach of the Georgians in time and they hid in the nearby mountains. The Georgian commanders also assumed that the Marand army would be ambushed in the mountains. Therefore, they took 500 chosen warriors, all "noble and noble", the commander Taki ad-Din Tmogveli, and sent them to the hill above the city to spy on the enemy. Tmogveli's squad went up to the plateau. Azerbaijanis, seeing how few Georgians were, immediately rushed towards them with all their strength. The unequal fight ended with a complete victory of the Georgians.

After the capture of Marand, the Georgians marched to Tabriz. It was expected that such a large Iranian city would not surrender to the enemy without a fight, but as if they heard the arrival of the Georgian army, all the inhabitants of Tabriz were frightened and gathered together, immediately the governors of the city organized an embassy and surrounded the Georgians. The commanders promised peace to the Tabrizians in exchange for a large tribute, gifts, gold and horses and camels.

Before that, Zaranjan was a "small town", but when its commanders were told about the Georgian invasion of Iran, they fortified the town strongly and as soon as the enemy arrived, a fierce battle began.

Zakaria measured the walls of Zaranjan into quarters for the troops and ordered them to attack. The meskhetian warriors were the first to break into the city, they broke into the house and began to kill all who were warriors, but they did not spare a hand to a woman, a child or a noble. Meanwhile, other parts of Georgians also invaded the city.

Early in the morning, they continued their journey to the southeast. They reached the great Iranian city of Qazvin. Qazminians surrenderLIed. The Georgians took the great booty and took the hostages without fight. Later, further east, near Qazvin and Ahvaz, a battle took place, from which the Georgians again came out victorious.
