Contrary to the opinion Zamoyski, the king decided to stop the attack (his goal was to acquire the Swedish crown and not extermination), allowing the withdrawal of Swedish troops. In the long run, this proved to be a mistake, as the Swedish rebels regained the initiative and defeated Sigismund at the battle of Stångebro. This effectively led to the end of the Polish-Swedish union.
