As Aventinus points out, the Hungarians used many tricks, fast movements, sudden attacks, and disappearances from the battlefield, and these totally confused the enemy commanders, who did not know what to do and did not understand which was a decisive attack or which was just a bluff. As a result, the Germans were demoralized, the unity had been loosened in the army's actions, and their battle order was compromised. In the end, when the decisive moment came, when, thanks to the relentless Hungarian attacks and misleading tactics and <a href="/wiki/Psychological_warfare" title="Psychological warfare">psychological warfare</a>, the battle order and the control of the commanders were totally lost and the soldiers were completely demoralized, tired, and losing any hope, the Hungarians suddenly attacked them from front, back, and sides, encircling and annihilating the southern corps led by Archbishop Dietmar.<sup id="cite_ref-56" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> From this description, one can suppose that the decisive moment of the first day of the battle was when the Hungarians, with the tactic of the feigned retreat, lured the army corps of Dietmar into a trap, which had to be a place that was near a wood, a river bed, or an accidented terrain, where a part of the Hungarian units were hidden, and when the German soldiers arrived there, chasing the feignly fleeing Magyar army, they suddenly came out, attacked from the back and sides the Germans, and together with the main army, which turned back, encircled and annihilated Dietmar's forces. This was preceded by those attacks and retreats of the Hungarian archer troops, about which Aventinus writes, which resulted in loosening the enemies endurance, and fighting spirit and inflicting on them desperation and uncertainty about what to do, which later eased their decision to attack with disintegrated battle order, which brought their destruction. All this time, it seems that Luitpold, whose army was on the northern bank of the Danube, was unable to help Dietmar's forces because he could not pass the river. Although the fleet under the command of Prince Sieghard was still there, it is not known why this did not happen. Perhaps the fleet, for an unknown reason, moved apart from the proximity of the land forces, and this moment was used by the Hungarian army to attack and destroy the southern army corps led by the archbishop. Nevertheless, this first day of the battle brought with it the slaughter of the southern corps of the attacking army, including Archbishop Dietmar, the bishops Utto of Freising and Zachariah of Säben-Brixen, and the abbots Gumpold, Hartwich, and Heimprecht.<sup id="cite_ref-Johannes_Aventinus_p._480_53-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Johannes_Aventinus_p._480-53"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Id._Wilhelm_Lindenschmit._Luitpoldschlacht.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Id._Wilhelm_Lindenschmit._Luitpoldschlacht.jpg/220px-Id._Wilhelm_Lindenschmit._Luitpoldschlacht.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Id._Wilhelm_Lindenschmit._Luitpoldschlacht.jpg/330px-Id._Wilhelm_Lindenschmit._Luitpoldschlacht.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Id._Wilhelm_Lindenschmit._Luitpoldschlacht.jpg/440px-Id._Wilhelm_Lindenschmit._Luitpoldschlacht.jpg 2x" data-file-width="977" data-file-height="732" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_Lindenschmit_the_Elder" title="Wilhelm Lindenschmit the Elder">Wilhelm Lindenschmit the Elder</a>: Death of Luitpold in the Battle of Pressburg 907</figcaption></figure> <p>That night, the Hungarian army covertly crossed the Danube and attacked the forces of Luitpold in their camp while they slept.<sup id="cite_ref-57" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-57"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This is very similar to the Battle of the River Brenta in 899, where the enemy thought he was safe since the river would prevent the Hungarians from crossing, only to find himself terribly mistaken.

The Hungarians used animal skins (goat, sheep, and possibly cattle) tied up to form something like a huge <a href="/wiki/Bota_bag" title="Bota bag">bota bag</a>, filled it with air, and tied on their horses sides, which helped the warrior and his horse to float in order to cross rivers or even the seas like the <a href="/wiki/Adriatic_Sea" title="Adriatic Sea">Adriatic Sea</a>, as they did in 900, to attack <a href="/wiki/Venice" title="Venice">Venice</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Bóna_István_2000,_p._32_22-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bóna_István_2000,_p._32-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The attack took the Germans by surprise, with the Hungarians' arrows killing many of them, some of them likely in their sleep.

We can presume that those Bavarians who wanted to escape from the burning ships jumped in the water, and a part of them drowned, and those who arrived at the shore were killed by the Hungarians.

This is why the commander of the Hungarians had to be a military genius who also led them to great victories in the battles of Brenta, Eisenach, Rednitz, and Augsburg. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Location">Location</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Pressburg&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Location"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The precise location of this battle is not known.<sup id="cite_ref-74" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-74"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>74<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The only contemporary source mentioning a location of the battle is the <i><a href="/wiki/Annales_iuvavenses" title="Annales iuvavenses">Annales iuvavenses</a> maximi</i> (Annals of Salzburg);

Because when they appear with an overwhelming attack, they disappear with the same rapidity, first they simulate flight, then, turning their horses, they attack, but all this time they shoot arrows, throw lances, gallop swiftly from left, right, front or back, tire our troops, than charge us from all sides, and attack the deadbeat Bavarians, surmount them, stamp them out and murder them all on the fifth day of the ides of August."</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-57"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-57">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Johannes Aventinus: Annalium Boiorum VII, 1554 p. 480–481.
