Thanks be to Heaven, now the Half-Moon Triumphs no longer o're the Cross, And 'twas thrown down from St. Stephen's Steeple in Vienna (whom it had o'retopt so long) immediately on the Defeat: Neither have the Turks any occasion to upbraid us with their Blasphemous Mahometan Proverb. Ye Christians where is Your God?In the early afternoon, a large engagement started on the other side of the battlefield as the Polish infantry advanced on the Ottoman right flank. Despite the arrival of the relief army, several Ottoman forces persisted in their attempts to breach the city's defenses, allowing Polish troops to advance on the field. By 4:00pm the Poles had captured the village of Gersthof, which would serve as a base for their cavalry charge. [18] The Ottoman army was in a desperate position between Polish and Imperial forces. Charles of Lorraine and John III Sobieski both decided independently to press the offensive and decisively defeat the Ottoman forces. [47] Red. (Eds.) (1962–1964). Jan III Sobieski (in Polish). Vol.X. {{ cite encyclopedia}}: |work= ignored ( help) The Polish troops were joined, among others, by Saxon, Bavarian, Swabian-Frankish, and Lower-Rhine troops. According to this account, Sobieski was everywhere where the fiercest battles occurred. Despite the fact that the enemy’s line was slightly longer than the united Christian states, these troops managed to push the enemy’s forces as far as his camp. These forces lost 30 departments. In this table, only household and retinue troops’ numbers are certain, 78,500 and 44,200 while other troops’ numbers are rounded, 50,000 Tatars, 10,000 Wallachian, 170,000 rear service etc. Based on this, Kahraman Şakul claim that this anonymous table show counted numbers of household and retinue troops while number of provincial troops (Tımarlı Sipahi: 40,000) and vassal states’ troops (100,000) is expected numbers. For instance, Tatars, Nogais and Circassians number was more than 100,000 while this table shows that Tatars (general term for Crimean Khanate and its vassals) brought 50,000 warriors. [37] Ottoman accounts state the size of the household army as 25,529 Janissaries, 3045 weaponeers (in Ottoman Turkish: cebeci) and 4000 gunners, totaling 32,574 as opposed to 60,000 estimation in this table. Therefore, according to K. Şakul's assessment, the Ottoman army consisted of approximately 120,000 soldiers and 156 guns. Within their ranks, 30,000 troops were strategically stationed in captured castles and deployed to disrupt the approaching relief army's movements. [38]

Sobieski took about 27,000 soldiers of the Crown from Kraków, including 24 hussar banners, not waiting for the Lithuanian troops who were running late. The king’s eldest son, Jakub, accompanied him. Let's look how Turkish chroniclers were describing this event in 17th century. For them it was a holy war and there was a belief that no "European heathen dogs" could beat warriors of Allah in the field. This way they focused on searching for the reasons of defeat among themselves.

The Saxon prince asked the emperor, seizing the opportunity, about the cause of Hungary. He was curious when His Majesty the Emperor would grant Hungarians life and freedom and renew their privileges while allowing Evangelicals to profess their religion. The prince also expressed his desire that all churches, regardless of religion, would survive in Hungary. He also asked Leopold I about the fate of the Hungarian leader Thököly. During this conversation, the Duke of Saxony looks for further allies to be able to create a bulwark of Christianity against the Turks. He mentioned here, among others Transylvania, Wallachians, and Moldovans. In this way, he wants to enlarge the Christian league with God’s help. Evangelicals and Protestants should also be included in this league. It would also help countries like Spain and Portugal that cannot defend themselves against Muslims. Christian clergy would benefit from this by regaining their abandoned goods and monasteries. Thanks to these endeavours, the Holy See would become more prosperous and stronger. At the same time, the clergy is exhorted here not to participate in state matters.
