Battle of Purushanda

The Battle of Purushanda was an engagement following the Second Battle of Tuwanuwa in the Hittite Civil War. After Tuwanuwa, the OFK forces split to take over Hakkarpili's holdouts quicker, as now they had a major numbers advantage and so could afford to have two forces fighting at the same time. Purushanda was attacked by Minimu and his general Histuman, both leading the Alliance to Restore the True King, the pro-Muwatalli resistance in Hatti. 
The battle was a major victory for the resistance, the largest so far, as previous ones were smaller engagements around less significant cities. Hakkarpili had only a small and exhausted force around Purushanda, and it was easily defeated. The city was taken afterwards after less than a couple weeks of siege. After the area was secured, the resistance crossed the river Halys and linked up again with Muwatalli's army to proceed to Hattusa.
