فتح جلال الدين مدينة تفليس من الكرج

On the eighth of Rabi al-Awwal 623 AH Jalal al-Din Khwarazmshah took the city of Tiflis from the Georgians. ¹

Jalal al-Din marched on the Georgians, who had mustered the Alans, the Lakz and the Qipchaq. He set an ambush for them, and they turned in flight, and his army pursued them. ¹

He went to Tiflis with three thousand horsemen and hid most of his army. The Georgians came out to him, hoping for his small number, and he withdrew until they entered the ambushes, and they fled to the city. The Muslims followed them and took the town by force. ²

He says it was one of the most fortified cities on the river Kur, and that the Georgians had taken it in 515 AH. ³
