Prelude
editAmong other things, due to the disproportion of forces, the war in defense of the Constitution of 3 May turned into one great retreat of Polish troops. In the face of the impossibility of maintaining the line of the Bug , Prince Józef Poniatowski led his corps towards the capital , avoiding fighting a decisive battle, taking care to preserve the army. In the defensive battles fought, he achieved considerable successes ( Zieleńce). At the end of July, he took up quarters in Kurów, where he received news of King Stanisław August Poniatowski 's defection to the Targowica Confederation.
Battle
editThe rear guard of the Polish army was at Markuszów. It was attacked from the east (from the direction of Garbów) by Cossacks who were unaware of the political situation. The Polish commander, distraught by the behavior of his relative, led his loyal troops (12 cavalry squadrons) into a senseless fight, personally leading and showing incredible bravado, according to contemporary accounts - seeking death. The Cossacks were repelled and thrown back towards Garbów. About 20 Poles died in this battle, including the general inspector of cavalry, Gen. Janusz Stanisław lliński.[2]
Aftermath
editThe battle, due to its size, would not have had much significance even in another political situation, but in this one it was completely meaningless. As a result of the king's behavior, it turned out to be the last victory of the Polish forces in this war. Although the Polish army retained combat capability, due to the decision of the authorities the war was lost.
