Battle of Sahay

Broglie won a small, but politically important, victory which combined with Frederick's success at Chotusitz disposed Maria Theresa to cede Silesia in the Treaty of Breslau on 11 June 1742.

[5] Lobkowicz marched on an advanced French post at Hluboká nad Vltavou and investing it on 18 May began a bombardment with twelve cannon and some mortars.

The Austrians were drawn up in line of battle with their left on the village of Zahájí which they occupied with 300 Pandur irregular light infantry.

They attempted to flank the marsh with some cavalry and attacked Sahay with an advanced guard of grenadiers, driving the Pandours from the village which they set on fire to cover their retreat.

The Austrian cavalry rallied behind the infantry and charged again but were again forced back with the Hohenzollern cuirassiers distinguishing themselves but suffering severely.
