But to proceed to the Wars in Hungary....Colonel Pohland was more successful in his Undertaking; for he having given Orders to
Antonio the chief Captain of the Rascians, to drive away all the Cattle which were grazing about the Castle of Facket, and whilst he was executing the same, the Turks sallied out upon him with all their force, but with such ill success....and
Captain Antonio with his Rascians, attack∣ed the General so briskly, that he was forced to retreat with the loss of 300 of his Men, and of all the Spoil and Plunder which they had taken....Likewise 400 Turks which had passed the Danube near Illock,* were met by 300 Rasci∣ans, under the Command of Captain Tosar, who killed about 140 of them, and took 40 more with three Standards, some good Horses, and other Booty...
....
The Turks more active, than fortunate, sallied out again this month from Lugos to pass the Marosch, and by the way upon the Ice, to make an Excursion into Tran∣sylvania. Colonel Pohland having notice hereof, designed with his 400 Dragoons
joyned to the 1000 Rascians under Com∣mand of Antonio, to stop them in their march; and being advanced so far as Do∣bra, intelligence was given him, that the Enemy was returned to Lugos; upon which, being desirous to try his fortune,*Pohland drew up his Regiment of 400 Men in view of the place,
placing his Rascians in a certain Ambuscade, well co∣vered and undecerned;...
....The Turks seeing so small a number drawn up before them, detached from the Town a Body of 700 Spahees, and 100 Tartars, to take a view of them: Upon appearance of this Party, the Dragoons retired to the Ambuscade, into which the Turks unwarily pursuing them, unhappily were fallen; and seeing their danger, betook themselves to a pre∣cipitate and disorderly flight towards their Forts; but being closely pursued,*
the Rascians and Dragoons, entered the Pa∣lanca together with the Turks, cutting down and killing all that were before them. In this Confusion,* many of the Turks betook themselves to the Castle, but with so much haste, that they had not time to draw the Bridge up after them; so that the Rascians passing thereon, cut down one of the Ca∣stle Gates with their Battle-Axes; and be∣ing come to the last Gate, the Turks hung out a white Flag, desiring to Capitulate........
..Out of the whole number of 1000 effective Men, as they were before this fight began; the same according to Capitulation, were safely con∣ducted to Temeswaer; the remainder being 850, were killed in this Action; on the other side, 10 Germans were killed, and
about 100 Rascians, besides the wounded; of which
there were some Rascians, and 22 Germans, amongst which Pohland was shot through the Arm. In this place of Lugos, four Brass Guns, and one Mortar piece were taken with 15 Standards. After which
700 Rascians, and 100 Dragoons, were left for a Garrison in the place....
...A like Exploit was done by
Antonio, Captain of the Rascians, who having joyned with
600 Heydukes, and 400 Hussars, at∣tacked a Castle, called Karakowar, a place situate on a high Rock, and by a Strata∣gem took it,....
...Ships l...arrived at Widin, with de∣sign to transport the same to Belgrade, where the Magazine of Stores was to be made.
Antonio, who was now made a Colonel, had notice hereof, and suffered two of their small Ships to pass by, with∣out interruption; herewith the Turks be∣ing encouraged, sent 10 more; but these Antonio attacked, and took two of them, and
two more of them were taken by the Rascians near Modava, the rest returned back to Widin...
.....By some of these Prisoners,
An∣tonio received Information, that the 1000 Horse were marched towards Lugos, and accordingly directing his Course thither, he surprized and took several of them who were separated from the rest; and causing
all the Rascian Drums, Trumpets, and Kettle-Drums to sound, they struck such a Terrour in the Turks, that they fled from their several Quarters with such Con∣fusion, that dispersing themselves, many of them were taken, and amongst them, an Aga, with many other principal Turks.....
...Whilst these Troops were draw∣ing together,
a Party of Rascians surprized and took Titul, in which they found 400 Turks, and put them all to the Sword...
..Men in all.....were
so rudely treated by the Rascians, that the Turks were forced to send a stron∣ger Party to their assistance; the which also were so bravely received, that above 1000 Turks were killed on the place, and many drowned in their retreat...
...Nor were the
Rascians less fortunate, some days afterwards having taken 400 Waggons laden with Ammunition and Pro∣visions in their passage from Belgrade to Temeswaer, besides several Prisoners, a∣mongst which were three Turks of good Quality.
Another
strong Party of Rascians ma∣king an Incursion near Mitrovitz, attacked Kathana Mustapha, and killed 1500 of his Men on the place, took several Prisoners, four Guns, and all his Baggage; upon which the Turks quitting Mitrovitz, the
Rascians entered and possessed themselves of it.
