During the campaign, many villages in Volga Bulgaria were burned and large numbers were slaughtered.[3]
On March 16, the Muscovite–Suzdalian army invaded Volga Bulgaria, leading Hasan Khan to mount a defense. The Bulgars rode camels at this time. The city walls were breached by Muscovite–Suzdalian fire-power. However, according to the chronicler, Muscovite–Suzdalian forces were also under heavy assault and faced significant opposition. Once the walls were breached, the Bulgar army forces were quickly defeated. Many Bulgars fled into the city and hid behind the walls. Hasan Khan ordered a 5,000 ruble payment (2,000 to soldiers and 3,000 to princes and magistrates) to end the attack.
