==Second day of the battle== The Poles, encouraged by their success on the first day, deployed all their available cavalry against the "main Tatar horde" and "Cossack vanguard regiments".<ref name="H305" /> The Polish infantry and artillery remained in camp and did not support the cavalry. This time, Tatar cavalry gained the upper hand, pushing the Poles back to their camp but were then "barely repelled" by heavy fire from the Polish infantry and artillery.<ref name="H305" /> The Poles lost 300 szlachta, including many officers of "caliber", and the "escort troop of [[Hetmans of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Hetman]] [[Mikołaj Potocki]]".<ref name="H305" /> During the second day of the battle, the rebels were victorious, although "the Tatars, too, were unpleasantly surprised by the determination and endurance of the Polish army in both battles and, having suffered rather painful losses of their own, they lost heart".<ref name="H305" /> [[Tugay Bey]] and [[İslâm III Giray|İslâm III Giray's]] brother-in-law Mehmet Giray were killed.
