During the Napoleonic Wars, the conflict between the Polish Uhlans and the Russian Cossacks was marked by fierce and dynamic skirmishes. The Uhlans, light cavalry units known for their distinctive lances and mobility, often clashed with the Cossacks, who were also renowned for their cavalry skills and guerrilla tactics. These encounters were
characterized by rapid and unpredictable engagements, with both sides employing their unique strengths. The Uhlans, part of the Polish Army were known for their discipline and formal tactics, while the Cossacks used their knowledge of the terrain and hit-and-run tactics to their advantage.
