Battle of Małagozka

The Battle of Małagozka took place on March 23, 1773, in the town of Małagozka. Rictuvian General Zygmunt Kieroklawski concentrated his forces in Koszanowiec, wanting to attack the nearby cities of Kędzieworzno and Pruszstok and take them in one move, but the Verdictine troops unveiled his attempts. He was attacked by Verdictine forces simultaneously. Kieroklawski, with the help of Vandelheim, was able to defeat them all in many skirmishes.

After the skirmishes, Kieroklawski and his army marched to the nearby town of Małagozka. Verdictine Colonel Gideon Stewart attacked the National Army on 23 March.

Fighting in Małagozka, the Verdictine artillery shelled the Rictuvian positions. Holding firmly to the town, Kieroklawski ordered a counterattack against the artillery. Soon, the artillery was defeated by a Rictuvian attack.

On the monastery of Małagozka, James Vandelheim defended the right flank from enemy attacks.

By dusk, the town still remained in Rictuvian hands. The Verdictine army had to retreat due to the casualties. The Battle of Małagozka became a Rictuvian victory.
