Khmelnytsky was moving slowly towards the Volyn, while waiting for the Polish diplomatic delegation. During this time a new Polish army was gathered in the southern Volyn and started to advance against cossack forces. Khmelnytsky directed his troops right against it, while sending for Tatar reinforcements. The Polish army and Cossacks met by the small castle near Pyliava village (Podolie). Khmelnytsky engaged in negotiations while awaiting for the requested help. Upon the arrival of the Tatar forces he started the battle.
After the beginning of the Khmelnytsky uprising in the early months of 1648 several unsuccesful attempts were made by Polish forces to supress it. Having suffered two defeats at the battle of Zhovti Vody and Korsun the Commonwealth sent a new army to confront Khmelnitsky. The Polish army was headed by three inept and inexperienced nobles: Władysław Dominik Zasławski, Mikolaj Ostroróg, and Aleksander Koniecpolski, all famously derided by Khmelnytsky as a peryna (the feather-down bed), latyna (the Latinist) and dytyna (the child).
