That's what the Ukrainian cossacks were for. As soon as the cossacks changed sides whey ceased to exist very soon after that :(

[ditzhastati]

Yes we did. Reitars and infantry regiments were tottally destroyed and your king Carol Gustaw were almost killed by one of the hussars. Unfortunately attack wasn't coordinated well and alone 1200 hussars fighting with ~10 000 army had to retreat.

[ditzhastati]

Bullshit. In the battle of Warsaw 1200 Hussars smashed all of your lines but they were alone against 10 000 Germans and Swedish so they had to retreat.

fictitious? Non of Sienkiewicz's books were fictitious. They were Historically Accurate.

[tomtensben]

If I recall it right, Poland and Sweden fought on the same side in this war.

[joonte1010]

Whose side are you on? I can't remember! We all dress alike! Would it help if I insult your mother? No, she was a tavern wench....confusion reigns

True. But Moscow was just paying tribute, Ukrainian lands was plundered, then concuered by Lithuanians, and then was PL-LT commonwealth. But Ukrainian land was in hands of Ukrainian nobles like Chmielnicki or Wisniowiecki. Cossacs was payed by commonwealth to protect the border with Tartars and Moscow.

[normalukrainian]

bullshit, mongols and tatars ruled in Moscovia for many years. Ukrainian ground was free from them because of cossacks stronhold-Sich on Dnipro River. In fact, thy lived in Crimea and pretty ofthen helped Ukrainians fight poles and moscovians.
