The Battle of Salicha was a clash between Polish insurgent forces and units of the Imperial Russian Army during the January Uprising.

Różycki agreed, on the condition that Józef Wysocki of Warsaw's National Government provides military support from eastern Galicia.

On May 8, 1863, Różycki together with his party marched from Żytomierz (today Zhytomyr) and headed westwards, to Galicia (Austrian Partition of Poland), hoping to meet reinforcements along the way.

Finally, on May 26 near the village of Salicha, the insurgents faced a much stronger and better-equipped detachment of the Imperial Russian Army.

After the battle, Różycki and his men waited for two more days, hoping that the promised Galician reinforcements would join them.
