with a palisade, trous de loup, and two cannons; near the Tyniec Abbey, the village of Tyniec; but after taking the redoubt twice, they were twice repulsed, however, managed to capture all the cannons; Suvorov refused to retake the redoubt, and withdrew to meet Dumouriez, who had meanwhile brought reinforcements, in the third confrontation at Lanckorona. Almost all the infantry of the Tyniec consisted of recruited Austrian deserters. Thus, although he had numerical superiority, Suvorov was unable to take the high ground at Tyniec, which was moreover fortified and protected by the Vistula from the west.
