From September 8 to 11, 1795, Persian forces attacked fortified Georgian positions near Tbilisi; Heraclius and Solomon resisted before a final Persian breakthrough.

Agha Mohammad Khan marched directly on Tbilisi with roughly half the army he had crossed the Aras with—estimations vary between 35,000 and 40,000—and attacked the heavily fortified Georgian positions of Heraclius and Solomon on the southwestern limits of the city. The Georgians repelled a series of Persian attacks on September 9 and 10, but after traitors reportedly informed the Persians that the Georgians had no strength left, the Qajars cancelled a planned return to Persia. Early on September 11, the Shah personally led an all-out offensive; amid an artillery duel and a fierce cavalry charge, the Persians crossed the Kura River and outflanked the decimated Georgian army. The last surviving Georgian artillery briefly held the advance, allowing Heraclius II and some 150 men to escape to the mountains.
