Let the Dadikivsky and Korsunsky kurens go into ambush and Taras and his men into ambush too.

The Titarevsky and Timoschevsky kurens are to guard the baggage train on the right flank, the Scherbinovsky and Steblikivsky on the left, and to select from their ranks the most daring young men to face the foe.

The Lyakhs are of a restless nature and cannot endure a siege, and perhaps this very day they will sally forth from the gates.

Let each hetman inspect his kuren; those whose ranks are not full are to be recruited from the remains of the Pereyaslavsky kuren.

Inspect them all anew.
