In late 1848, before Windisch-Grätz began the Winter Campaign, Franz Schlik led a legion of 8,000 men through the Dukla Pass into the Kingdom of Hungary. The Hungarian Military Commission recruited approximately 10,000 men around Miskolc under Lázár Mészáros's command, but Schlik defeated him at Szikszó on 28 December 1848 and at Kassa on 4 January 1849.
