The final battle made no sense


Poles ride left to right on screen.
Cossacks ride right to left.
Cossack reinforcements join in the middle.

And then we're treated to a tight posse of riders riding towards the cliffs.
They approach, slow down....
Then in close-up it's somehow the Cossacks pushing the Poles over the edge?

How on earth did the battle get that fluid that the whole thing could relocate itself a mile further down the Steppes?

When all of your wishes are granted....
Many of your dreams...will be destroyed

Totally agree, not to mention the earlier battle, where the poles appeared to shell their own cavalry engaged against the Cossacks in front of the fortress.🐭
