Battle of Orbulaq
The Battle of Orbulaq was fought in 1643 in the mountains of Zhetysu in south-eastern Kazakhstan between the Kazakhs under Jahangir Khan and the Dzungars under Erdeni Batur. According to accounts, Jahangir, with a small force of musketeers in entrenchments in a mountain pass, held off a much larger Dzungar army until reinforcements under Yalangtush Bahadur of Samarkand arrived. It is celebrated in Kazakhstan as a heroic defence.
