Battle of Lanckorona

The Battle of Lanckorona was one of the greatest clashes of Polish and Russian forces during the Bar Confederation. It took place 23 May 1771 near Lanckorona when a Polish formation of 1,300 men with 18 cannons under French envoy lieutenant-colonel Charles François Dumouriez was suddenly attacked by 4,000 Russians commanded by general Alexander Suvorov.

Polish forces were completely smashed and compelled to retreat.
