Battle of Klyastitsy

The Battle of Klyastitsy, also called Battle of Yakubovo, was a series of military engagements that took place in 1812 near the village of Klyastitsy on the road between Polotsk and Sebezh. In this battle the Russian corps under the command of Peter Wittgenstein stood up to the French corps under the command of Marshal Nicolas Oudinot. The result was a minor Russian victory, their forces managing to capture the disputed village of Klyastitsy, although both sides suffered heavy losses on the process. The French partially retreated along their communication lines after the battle, and fended off Russian pursuers.

On 29 July 12 French cavalry squadrons were surprised and attacked by eight Russian Hussar and Cossack squadrons under Gen. Yakov Kulnev.
