Battle of Chotusitz
The Battle of Chotusitz (or Chotušice) was fought on May 17, 1742 between the Austrians under Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine and the Prussians under Frederick the Great. The numbers were about equal but the steadiness of the Prussian infantry eventually wore down the Austrians, and they were forced to retreat, though in good order leaving behind them 18 guns and 12,000 prisoners.
