Russian forces under Apraksin defeated the smaller Prussian army led by Lehwaldt in a significant engagement during the Seven Years' War.
The battle began with a Prussian onslaught that initially stunned the Russians. However, Russian return fire proved effective, causing the Prussian line to collapse. Russian cavalry tactics, including feigned retreats by Kalmyks and Cossacks, further trapped Prussian units under artillery fire.
