The Battle of Chu and Talas was a military battle between the Khanate of Bukhara, seeking to relieve the Kazakh Khanate, from the invading Dzungar Khanate in 1658. During the Kazakh–Dzungar War (1635–1658), Galdamba Batur — who had joined against the Kazakhs after Erdeni Batur requested for assistance from the Khoshut Khanate.[3] In 1652, he fought Salqam Jangir Khan at Turkistan, in which Jangir was killed in battle,[3] and the Kazakh army possibly faced a huge casualty.[4] After that, Galdamba had campaigned on the Kazakh Khanate — until a relief force arrived from Khanate of Bukhara.[5] In 1658, Abushukher — the commander of the Uzbek relief force attacked on the Dzungar camp on the Talas River with a 38,000-strong army.[4] Galdama attacked the Bukharan army and pursued the Bukharans to the mouth of the Chu River, where he killed Khan Abushukher himself.[5] After the battle, the border of Kazakh Khanate and Dzungar Khanate was set in the Ayagoz river to the Talas River, in which after the war – successor of Jangir, Tauke Khan had made peaceful relations with the Dzungar ruler, Sengge, until the succession of Galdan Boshughtu Khan.[6]
