A Polish army train, secured by a division of Wielhorski, moved the shortest way across Boruszkowice.

The route which he moved was sodden and an area in which were forests allowing Russian formations cover making it difficult for Polish defence.

The collapsing of bridge on the swamp river Derevichka was in truth a trap.

Polish infantry (1,000 soldiers) and artillery successfully defended against the Russians who were able to receive reinforcements during fight.

The Polish division received heavy losses of soldiers, 7 cannons, and a train.
