A full report will follow, but a brief notice here records the defeat of Arenberg by Frederick and the Prussian capture of Pilsen. There was no pursuit, as the lengthening shadows of night prevented it, so the defeat is not "Decisive", but the Austrians were thoroughly mauled, losing most of their infantry. However, severe blows to the Prussian force, especially an early attack by the wings of cuirassiers which routed several brigades of Prussian foot, leave Frederick's army much weaker than it had been.
