Russian forces defeated Kościuszko's Polish army on 10 October 1794, wounding and capturing the Polish leader.
On 10 October 1794, forces of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth under Tadeusz Kościuszko, numbering about 6,200 men, fought the Russian Empire during the Polish Uprising of 1794. Kościuszko planned to prevent the linking of three larger Russian corps commanded by generals Fyodor Denisov, Ivan Fersen and Alexander Suvorov. He had requested support from Adam Poniński, who had 4,000 soldiers, but Poniński failed to arrive on the battlefield in time. The Russians defeated the Polish forces, and Kościuszko was wounded and captured.
