Robet I. Frost для Скальда

[Sabudai]

Вот все што нашел в книге Роберта об компании Шереметьева 1658 года... Как обещал перепичатал. Правда информации мало. До этого был обзац о разгроме Коновальского.

 

Sapieha and Czarnieski pushed on into the heart of Lithuania, taking еру string of lesser fortresses, althrough an attempt to capture Mohilew failed. The main effort was,  however, directed towards the Ukrain, where Potocki and Lubomirski with 28,800 men, including 9,800 foot and 4600 dragoons, supported by 15,000 Tatars, caugh V.B. Sheremetev in open country near Lubar in September with an army of 33-34,000, of which 19,200 where regulars, incuding 6,100 of foreign style cavalry, 3,000 foreign style infantry and 4,000 dragoons, supported by 20,000 Cossacks. Aware that Iuri Khmelnytsky was approaching from Kiew with 40,000 men and nearly 30 cannons, Sheremetev formed a tabor; after twice moving position in his mobile fortress, pursued by the watchful Polish army, he dug in near Chudnovo. In daring raid, Lubomirski took half the Polish army and attacked Khmelnytsky and at Slobodyshche; althrough he failed to storm Cossack tabor, his determined asault persuaded them to sign an agreement on 17 October, whereupon he withdrew leaving Sheremetev to his fate. With no hope hope of relief, and subject to constant bombardment and assaults, Sheremetev surrendered on 2 November; 20,000 Muscovites were taken prisoner. Sheremetev was spend two decades in Tatar captivity, since Alexis refused to pay his randsom. At least he was spared Shein's fate.

 

Вот только не понятно почему после того как Любомирский увел пол польской армии штурмовать казаков, Шереметьев не делал никаких попыток прорыва?

делал (попытка прорыва Шереметева в направлении Слободищ, в ночь с 13 на 14 октября, окончилась неудачно), только Фрост или не знает, или врет. Кстати, ни слова о том, что поляки фактически спустили татар с поводка на пленных.
