Battle of Stołowicze

It took place on the 24 September 1771 and ended with the defeat of Bar Confederates by Russian general Alexander Suvorov.

[12] Alexander Suvorov smashed a numerically superior Confederate force under the command of Casimir Pulaski at Orzechowo and later under the French envoy Charles Dumouriez at Lanckorona, preparing to fight them again.

[5] Significant disproportion in numbers forced Suvorov to act more cautiously in contrast to the past, especially since he was dealing with good, regular troops.

[5] Barely the battle was over, as the Polish general Bielak, standing half a mile away, arrived with 1,000 lancers to help Ogiński.

He immediately attacked and surrounded 3 Russian squadrons, but the fortitude and fire of Kiselyov's infantry kept the Poles from further action and forced him to retreat.

The combat actually took place on September 13 (24 Gregorian cal.); perhaps the 12th date symbolizes the start of Suvorov's march towards the town in the late evening. [ 1 ]
