Second Battle of Chruślina

An insurgent unit of 1,400 infantry and 200 cavalry under Michał Heydenreich clashed with a 1,300-strong detachment of the Imperial Russian Army.

General Michal Heydenreich (nom de guerre Kruk) commanded a large insurgent unit, which however lacked weapons and ammunition.

His forces camped at Chruslina, which at that time was located near the border between Congress Poland and Austrian Galicia.

When Heydenreich received news of a Russian unit, which approached his camp, he decided to fight the enemy.

Polish kosynierzy approached the towns of Krasnik and Urzedow, but did not capture them due to lack of ammunition.
