The Poles were supported by some 40 Hungarian volunteers under Count Edward Nyáry, who himself was wounded and died.

Facing them was a Russian unit under a Major named Sternberg, which had up to 3,000 soldiers, including dragoons, Cossacks and four cannons.

Borelowski placed his soldiers on the Polak hill, and this location is now marked with a commemorative monument with tablets in Polish and Hungarian languages.

One of the Polish infantry units was commanded by a Hungarian aristocrat, Major Edward Nyáry, who was hit by bullets in the leg, and then in the stomach.

A mass grave of those who were killed in the battle is located near Panasówka, along the road to Zwierzyniec.
