Once Zieten had deployed in front of Daun's main position, he launches an attack up the hill. Tettenborn's brigade stalls trying to ford the defended Rohr-Graben at Suptitz and Saldern's brigade, after suffering heavy casualties crossing the same stream, is repulsed by canister fire. Finally, a junior officer discovers an undefended causeway across the stream some distance beyond the town. So the weight of Zeiten's attack is shifted to the west. As the Austrians concentrate forces on their eastern flank, Zeiten moves into attacking position on the opposite end of their line...
