The Battle of Landeshut fought was a true test of strength and strategy. It pitted the outnumbered Prussian army, led by General Fouque, against the cunning and determined Habsburg forces, commanded by General Loudon. General Fouque's Prussian army had been tasked with defending Silesia, a strategic region that had been fiercely contested throughout the Seven Years' War. However, General Loudon had other plans. With his army vastly outnumbering the Prussian forces, he quickly devised a plan to surround them, cutting off their supply lines and trapping them in a deadly pincer movement. General Fouque and his men were now encircled, with no hope of escape.
