Initially Mierosławski engaged in talks with Blumen, but when he received news that Poles from Now Miasto under the command of Józef Garczyński are coming to help him with 1000 soldiers and that additional reinforcements of 1200 soldiers are moving from Pleszew under the command of Feliks Białoskórski, he broke down the negotiations.
Esialgu proovis Mierosławski kõnelusi Blumeniga, kuid kui ta sai teada, et Now Miasto poolakad Józef Garczyński juhtimisel olid talle 1000 sõduriga appi tulemas ja et lisaväed 1200 sõduriga tulid Feliks Białoskórski juhtimisel Pleszewist, katkestas ta läbirääkimised.
