With Isfahan recaptured after victory over Azad Khan Afghan at Urmiya ( July 1757), Mohammad Hasan Khan of Qajar marched to besiege Shiraz, held by the Regent Karim Khan Zand and his brilliant General Shaykh Ali Khan. Having suffered heavy losses to sorties and attacks in the rear by Afghans and Uzbeks, Mohammad Hasan withdrew. He was defeated early the next year at Ashraf.
