Battle of Orsha

The Battle of Orsha was fought on 8 September 1514, between the allied forces of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland, under the command of Hetman Konstanty Ostrogski; and the army of the Duchy of Moscow under Konyushy Ivan Chelyadnin and Kniaz Mikhail Golitsin. The battle of Orsha was the final one in the series of assaults on the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by Muscovy.
The much smaller army of Poland–Lithuania (20,000 men) defeated a force of 80,000 Muscovite soldiers, capturing their camp and commander.
