squadrons, Jan Sobieski's Cavalry Regiment's 9 squadrons, and the Wallachian Cavalry Regiment's 13 squadrons. The Polish infantry consisted of Lubomirski's Hungarian Infantry Regiment and mercenaries under the command of Marcin Kątski, General of Artillery. The first line consisted of 12 squadrons or 2,600 cavalry under Lubomirski's command, while the second line of 14 squadrons or 3,000 men under Hetman Sieniawski. The Polish guns and infantry was placed in the middle of the both cavalry lines. Battle Charles XII's initial intention was to carry out a frontal assault against the Saxon infantry on the Kulaki Height. But a reconnaissance of the marshy wetlands in front of the Saxons' advantageous position indicated that it would be very difficult to perform such a maneuver. Therefore, in order to bypass the morass, he decided to wheel the entire Swedish army to the left. The army was to march up the slope near the village of Wierzbica, which they would use as a starting point in both their attack and their attempt to encircle the Saxon right wing. The Saxons intended to attack the Swedes from two sides during their approach. The left wing was to cross Rebów to attack the Swedish right wing, while the Saxon infantry would advance northwards towards Borczyn. The right wing would face the Swedish encirclement. Shortly thereafter, an unpleasant surprise appeared to the Swedish army. The Crown army suddenly appeared beyond the village of Kije, positioning themselves next to the Saxon right wing. The ongoing Swedish wheeling maneuver would now become vulnerable to a Saxon–Polish pincer maneuver, with their combined troops now comprising about 9,000 cavalry against only 2,000 within the Swedish left wing. This sudden development forced Charles XII to halt his troops, transfer the command of the Swedish right wing to Rehnskiöld, and relocate himself to the weak Swedish left wing. There he personally organized a cavalry front that would confront the Crown army, and called for infantry support from the Swedish center that would protect the left wing from inevitable Polish cavalry attacks. Under Stenbock's command, the Swedish infantry was regrouped and nine battalions from the Dalarna, Kalmar, Närke-Värmland, Uppland and Västmanland regiments rushed into the widened gaps between the squadrons in the left wing. The king also ordered the Västerbotten Regiment and Uppland Reserve Regiment to move in between the gaps in the Swedish right wing. At the same time, the Crown army managed to
