The article discusses the fights at Tykocin on May 21, 1831. It was one of the many encounters during the entire Polish operation, which was recorded in historiography as "an expedition to the guard". Its main goal was to break up the Guard Corps, commanded by Grand Duke Michael, and give a helping hand to the fighting Lithuania. As a result of misunderstandings and disputes in the Polish General Headquarters, mainly between the commander-in-chief, General Jan Skrzynecki and his quartermaster, General Ignacy Prądzyński, no battle took place. The chance to break up the Russian forces, which had started the retreat towards Białystok, was lost. However, the offensive continued. After the forceful march, the Polish troops on May 20 fought with the rearguard of the Guard Corps, commanded by General Karl Bistrom near Rutki, and the next day near Tykocin, where the initial fighting in the city moved to the dike and bridges on the Narew River. Detailed descriptions in Polish diaries and Russian regimental histories allowed for research on the tactical aspect of the clash and its operational significance.

Artykuł omawia walki pod Tykocinem 21 maja 1831 roku. Było to jedno z wielu starć w trakcie całej operacji polskiej, która utrwaliła się w historiografii jako „wyprawa na gwardię”. Jej zasadniczym celem miało być rozbicie Korpusu Gwardii, dowodzonego przez wielkiego księcia Michała i tym samym podanie pomocnej dłoni walczącej Litwie. W wyniku nieporozumień i sporów w sztabie polskim, przede wszystkim między naczelnym wodzem, generałem Janem Skrzyneckim i jego kwatermistrzem, gen. Ignacym Prądzyńskim, nie doszło do walnej bitwy. Zaprzepaszczono tym samym szansę na rozbicie rosyjskich sił, które rozpoczęły odwrót w kierunku Białegostoku. Wciąż jednak kontynuowano ofensywę. Po forsownym marszu polskie oddziały 20 maja starły się z tylną strażą Korpusu Gwardii dowodzoną przez gen. Karla Bistroma pod Rutkami, a następnego dnia pod Tykocinem, gdzie początkowe walki w mieście przeniosły się na groblę i mosty na Narwi. Drobiazgowe opisy zawarte w polskich pamiętnikach i rosyjskich historiach pułkowych pozwoliły na analizę poszczególnych etapów zmagań i przeprowadzenie badań nad aspektem taktycznym starcia i jego znaczeniu operacyjnym.
