Persian reinforcements under <a href="/wiki/Mihr-Mihroe" title="Mihr-Mihroe">Mihr-Mihroe</a> defeated a small Byzantine force guarding the mountain passes and then relieved the besieged Petra. Lacking enough supplies, Mihr-Mihroe garrisoned 3,000 men in the fortress and marched to <a href="/wiki/Armenia" title="Armenia">Armenia</a> leaving 5,000 soldiers to supply Petra. This force was destroyed by Dagisthaeus at the <a href="/wiki/Rioni_river" class="mw-redirect" title="Rioni river">Phasis river</a> in 549. The next Persian offensive also proved to be unsuccessful with the commander Chorianes killed in a decisive battle at the river Hippis (now the <a href="/wiki/Tskhenistskali" class="mw-redirect" title="Tskhenistskali">Tskhenistskali</a>). Nevertheless, the Persians manage to resupply Petra. The new Byzantine commander Bessas quelled a pro-Persian revolt of the <a href="/wiki/Abasgians" class="mw-redirect" title="Abasgians">Abasgi</a> tribe, took and dismantled the fort of Petra after a <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Petra_(550%E2%80%93551)" title="Siege of Petra (550–551)">lengthy siege</a> and fierce fighting as Mihr-Mihroe did not arrive in time. The latter unsuccessfully diverted his force against Archaeopolis in 551 as many of his men were lost due to a lack of supplies. However, the latter was unopposed elsewhere in the field and managed to capture <a href="/wiki/Kutaisi" title="Kutaisi">Cotais</a> and the fortress of Uthimereos, blocking the important roads to the highland regions of <a href="/wiki/Lechkhumi" title="Lechkhumi">Scymnia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Svaneti" title="Svaneti">Souania</a>, which were also captured by him later. In the summer of 555, he dislodged a superior Byzantine-Lazic force at <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Telephis%E2%80%93Ollaria" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Telephis–Ollaria">Telephis and Ollaria</a> by stratagem and forced them to retreat to Nesos. Mihr-Mihroe died of illness shortly after and was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Nachoragan" title="Nachoragan">Nachoragan</a>. </p><p>King Gubazes quarreled with Byzantine commanders <a href="/wiki/Bessas_(magister_militum)" title="Bessas (magister militum)">Bessas</a>, <a href="/wiki/Martin_(magister_militum_per_Armeniam)" title="Martin (magister militum per Armeniam)">Martin</a>, and Rusticus, complaining to emperor Justinian. Bessas was recalled, but Rusticus and his brother John eventually murdered Gubazes. To redress this with a victory on the battlefield, the Byzantine generals launched a full-scale assault at Onoguris, which was repulsed by a small force under Nachoragan, who momentarily took and destroyed the main Byzantine base at Archaeopolis, which Mihr-Mihroe had twice tried and failed to take. These defeats and the murder of the Lazic king caused a bitter feud between the Lazic and Byzantine generals. The Lazi people got the Emperor to nominate <a href="/wiki/Tzath_II_of_Lazica" title="Tzath II of Lazica">Tzathes</a>, the younger brother of Gubazes, as their new king, and Senator Athanasius investigated the assassination. Rusticus and John were arrested, tried, and executed. In 556, the allies retook Archaeopolis and routed Nachoragan in his abortive <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Phasis" title="Siege of Phasis">attack on Phasis</a>.
