Esterházy skillfully encircled Heister's army, but the numerical superiority of the Austrian guns keep out the Kuruc forces. The Austrian and Danish infantry fired so fast, and the Hungarian rabble soldiers easily embarrassed, although the retreat of the Serbian auxiliaries was broke the front of Heister's army. Forgách ordered the final attack against the Austrian cannons, although the Kuruc cavalry was not formed for this attack. The Austrians guns disrupted the Kuruc cavalry.
