Second Day of Battle
The Poles, encouraged by their success on the first day, deployed all their available cavalry. The Polish infantry and artillery remained in camp and didn't support the cavalry. This time, Tatar cavalry gained the upper hand, pushing the Poles back to their camp but were then repulsed by heavy fire from the Polish infantry and artillery. The Poles lost 300 soldiers, including many officers. During the second day of the battle, the rebels were victorious.
