Years: 1734 - 1734
June
Mercy's forces make repeated attempts to cross the Parma River in June, but it is not until late in this month that they are able to cross the river and approach the city of Parma, where the allied forces, now under the command of French marshals de Broglie and Coigny, are entrenched.
In a bloody battle near the village of Crocetta on June 29, the Austrians are beaten back, Mercy is killed, and Frederick of Württemberg, his second, is wounded.
Charles Emmanuel returns the next day to retake command, and resumes his delaying tactics by failing to immediately pursue the retreating Austrians.
The Austrians retreate to the Po, where they are reinforced by additional troops and placed under the command of Field Marshal Königsegg.
