The Battle of Batih (Ukrainian: Битва під Батогом, Polish: Bitwa pod Batohem; 1–2 June 1652) was fought between the Cossack Hetmanate and Crimean Khanate against the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth as a part of the Khmelnytsky Uprising. Near the site of the present-day village of Chetvertynivka in Ukraine, a forces of the Zaporozhian Cossacks and Crimean Tatars under the command of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Otaman Tymofiy Khmelnytsky and Colonel Ivan Bohun attacked and completely defeated the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth’s forces under the command of Hetman Marcin Kalinowski, Noblemans Marek Sobieski and Zygmunt Przyjemski, all of them were killed in the battle. In the aftermath of the battle, the Polish–Lithuanian soldiers taken prisoner were brutally slain by the Zaporozhian Cossacks and Crimean Tatars in the Batih massacre in 3–4 June 1652 as a revenge for the Battle of Berestechko in 28 June — 10 July, 1651.[4]
During the battle a forces of the Cossack Hetmanate and Crimean Khanate destroyed many of the best Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth’s military units. Although the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth managed to rebuild their army soon after the battle, the loss of the most experienced troops resulted in its temporary weakness in the Cossack Hetmanate. Defeat of the Crown Army contributed to the wars to come with the Tsardom of Muscovy, which in turn resulted in the "Deluge" against the Swedish Empire.
