Battle of Okhmativ (1655)

Part of the Polish troops led by Szemberg was to guard the Puszkarenko group trapped in Okhmativ, numbering 2,000 soldiers, while the main force moved on January 29 in the north.

The cavalry battle was won by the Polish–Tatar side, so that the Russian-Cossack troops standing in laager lost their flank cover.

Polish infantry, cavalry and artillery interacting with each other led to the breach in the laager Russian-Cossack army.

Through action in this battle the Poles managed to stop a major offensive of the Cossacks-Muscovite and forced them to retreat to the east.

[citation needed] After the battle Potocki with his infantry and artillery retreated to Lviv, and the cavalry under the command of Stefan Czarniecki moved with the Tatars into Ukraine for the purpose of pacification.
