It was then when the basic action of the Polish cavalry became the hit-and-run attacks, based on the mobility of the troops and element of surprise. Such a situation had a place during the Tarnogród Confederation, when the enemy were the Saxon forces. As long as the hit-and-run tactics were applied, the confederates were successful, but whenever they decided to fight in the open field, they suffered defeat.  }, doi = {10.4467/20844069PH.16.038.5340}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/prace-historyczne/artykul/dzialania-nieregularne-wojsk-konfederacji-tarnogrodzkiej-1715-1716} }
