Prelude to battle
Following the failure of Commonwealth diplomatic mission to Istanbul, and violations of the Treaty of Busza by both sides (as Cossacks and Tatars continued their raids across the borders), relations between the the Ottomans and the Commonwealth plummeted in early 1620. Both sides begin preparing for war. Neither side was ready for a war in 1620. Ottomans planned a war in 1621, and Commonwealth Sejm denied most funds the hetmans asked for the coming war. Senate's (upper chamber of Sejm) secret council finally decided (convinced by Habsburg's representative), to send the Commonwealth forces in 1620, even though many members of the Sejm thought that Polish forces were not sufficient and ready. Hetman Stanisław Żólkiewski, who was then over 70 years old (Commonwealth policy didn't allow for a possibility of forced retirement from government offices like hetman), foreseeing the coming confrontation with Ottoman Empire decided to meet their troops on somebody's else soil and Moldavia was chosen as the battlegroubnd1.

The battle On the 17th September, near Cecora, the Commonwealth army encountered the Tatar and Ottoman forces (13000-22000), which were send by Ottoman sultan to help Gabor in his struggle against Habsburg. The Tatar force surprised Commonwealth defenders and took many prsoners. During the first day of fight (18th), most of Moldavians decided to change sides and attacked Polish flank. Mercenaries and private troops (and their leaders – magnates) were not disciplined and had low morale from beginning, their morale soon started to plummet down. Stanisław Koniecpolski commanded the right flank of the Commonwealth forces during the battle. On 19th September it was apparent that the Polish forces were defeated, but were able to hold out. Koniecpolski stopped the army from desintegrating on 20/21st September. On 29th of September Commonwealth forces has broken through Ottoman ranks with tabor wagon train and started retreat. However, after Grazziani bribed some magnates, units of private troops begun to flee and some mercenary cavalry panicked and run away. This was a prelude on things to come.
