Prussian Baron Ernst Heinrich de la Motte-Fouqué was forced out of the fortress of Landshut, southwest of Breslau in Silesia, but was ordered by Frederick II of Prussia to retake it from Austrian Marshal Gideon von Loudon. De la Motte-Fouqué’s outnumbered force was virtually destroyed and Frederick advanced into Silesia to meet von Loudon in August at Liegnitz.
