A party of 3000 Polish insurgents commanded by Marian Langiewicz, clashed with units of the Imperial Russian Army.
After the victorious Battle of Skala, Polish insurgents, who had tried to cross the border with nearby Austrian Galicia, turned northwards and headed towards Miechów.
When Poles were camping in Chroberz, they found out about a Russian unit, which marched towards them from Pinczów, along the Nida river valley.
When another Russian unit appeared on the left bank of the Nida, Langiewicz sent there infantry under Colonel Dionizy Czachowski.
All together, Polish rebels lost 300 men, Russian forces also recorded 300 killed and wounded.
