The Battle of Berestechko in Volhynia , Ukraine , part of the Chmielnicki Uprising , lasted from June 28 to June 30 , 1651 , between the Polish army under King Jan II Casimir and Ukrainian Cossack and peasant forces, led by Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky , and their Crimean Tatar allies. The Polish army had around 57,000 troops, the Ukrainians around 100,000 plus 25,000 Crimean Tatar cavalry. The battle was won by the Poles after the Crimean Tatars, dispirited by the death of their leader Toğay Bey , deserted the battlefield. As a result, Khmelnytsky was forced to sign the Treaty Of Bila Tserkva with the Poles.
