A Cossack-Tartar alliance directed against the Polish Lithuanian-Commonwealth was formedin March 1648. At first the khan Islam III Girai sent several thousand warriors led by his mosttrusted advisor Tugay Bey to help the Cossacks. Large part of the Tartar corps was to includepoorly equipped Nogai warriors and Tartar rabble. However Tartar support had a huge psy-chological significance for the Cossacks, and at the same time negative influence on the mo-rale of the Polish forces. Warriors under Tugay Bey took part in battles at te Wody (ZhovtiVody) and Korsu (Korsun). It was the Tartar cavalry that finally crushed the Polish resistanceduring the latter battle by getting among the wagon train and spreading havoc and mayhem.

Tugay Bey (? 1651) famous Crimean Tartar commander.In 1644 his raid took heavy losses at the battle of Ochmatw(Okhmativ). Since 1647 he was a trusted advisor of khan IslamIII Girai.
