n September 1659 the Polish division under Stefan Czarniecki was ordered to return from Denmark to Poland. All that was left behind to support Danish, Imperial and Brandenburg allies was an improvised cavalry regiment of about 1000 soldiers, led by colonel Kazimierz Piaseczyski. On the 14th of November 1659 the allied army of 10000 men landed on the Funen Island. Near Nyborg the allies were engaged in a battle with 7000 Swedish soldiers. The allied army was victorious and the Polish cavalry was crucial in ensuring victory by successfully charging the Swedes. Colonel Piaseczyski was killed while leading his force and the Polish troops, infuriated by this loss, mercilessly pursued retreating the Swedes, no prisoners were taken. Once the campaign against Sweden was over, the Polish troops returned to their country and took part in the 1660 campaign again the Muscovites, as part of Czarnieckis division.
