Battle of Kanesh

The Battle of Kanesh 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. Kanesh was attacked by Muwatalli and his Hittite army, as well as Eteweokles and his Mycenaean forces. 
The battle was short and quickly resulted in a decisive victory for the OFK, as Hakkarpili's men were routed and many surrendered without much of a fight. After the battles, the city of Kanesh was put under siege, but it surrendered in a week, after seeing that it was Muwatalli himself leading the charge. After the region was secured, the OFK forces crossed the river Halys and linked up with Hittite resistance under Minimu to advance to Hattusa.
