Buddenbrock's cavalry opens the attack for the Prussians, hitting the Austrian left wing of cavalry. Initially gaining the advantage, Buddenbrock is counterattacked, first being hit by advancing infantry and then by cuirassiers and dragoons. The Prussian right wing cavalry is defeated and out of the reckoning.
Meanwhile, the Austrian infantry continue to advance toward Chotusitz. In order to stem the tide, General Waldow of the Prussian left launches a charge and then executes a wide circuit behind the Austrian lines all the way to the scene of Buddenbrock's action on the right. But this move has no decisive impact.
The battle now becomes an infantry fight near the town. The Austrians push Leopold's command out of the village. But there is still Frederick's inexplicably inactive right wing to deal with. When he finally moves at 10:30, he executes a wide leftward wheel, hitting the Austrians in the flank and putting them to flight. The battle ends at 11. The Prussians lose 4,800 troops, the Austrians 6,330.
