An exhausting night march brought Stanisław Żółkiewski, the field crown hetman of Poland, and his men, mostly consisting of winged hussars, to a vast field near the village of Klushino. On his command, the Polish-Lithuanian winged hussars charged forward, ready to pierce any enemy unfortunate enough to get in their way. They were welcomed by musketry, sturdy pikes and eleven field guns. The hussars were about clash with a Russian army superior in numbers on a very challenging battlefield. The battle of Klushino 1610, one of the most famous battles of the winged hussars and one of the most controversial ones, had just begun.
