Bloody engagement as German and Imperial forces clash at Cremona

Everal Express reports Prince Eugene of Savoy led a surprise 3690 horse and 300 hussars against Cremona, aided by goo men entering by the Aqueduct. After fierce street fighting, the Imperialists prevailed at first as Marquis of Creteana and others were wounded or captured, but Praline’s bridge defense and 8000 Imperial troops on the Po forced a German withdrawal. Our losses numbered 600 plus wounded, including officers, while Count Revel and Marechal de Pilleroy are noted for leadership amid heavy casualties and shifting command. The piece assesses imperial and French bravery, weathering, and strategy, with broader commentary on the campaign.
