Asik and his army of mercenaries and former bandits defeat one half of the army of Boleslav I. of Bohemia, afterwards celebrating and plundering the bodies of the dead.
Asic autem cum Saxonibus et caeteris auxiliariis nichil cunctatus in hostes ruit maximamque partem ex eis armis fudit, caeteros fugere conpulit, victorque ad castra reversus est. Et cum ignorasset de exercitu, qui insecutus fuerat Thuringos, minus caute usus est victoria perpetrata.

Remark :
long-term consequence: Boleslav uses the carelessness of the victorious army and attacks them with his reinforcements, described in: "Boleslav I. of Bohemia and his army attack the careless and distracted army of Asik, killing all of them."
