Meanwhile, Mongol forces headed towards Kraków via Koprzywnica, Wiślica and Skalbmierz, then withdrew to Tursko Wielkie.
The Mongol commander Baidar was probably aware of it, using mock retreat to find a better position for the battle.
According to Jan Długosz, the first clash ended in a Polish victory and the release of a number of prisoners.
In all probability, given how they conducted numerous other campaigns, the Mongols may have feigned a retreat and lured the Poles into overconfidence.
