The Battle of Lutter was fought in 1759 between the armies of France and Great Britain amid the Seven Years' War.
After defeating an Anglo-German army at Rehren on the road to Lutter, Victor-Francois de Broglie proceeded on to Lutter and looted the town. Shortly after, he was confronted by a large Anglo-German army south of the town. De Broglie employed his usual tactic of having his cavalry charge past his extended flanks to rout the Allied infantry regiments on both sides of their line, enabling the French infantry to gradually roll the Allied line up. As per usual, the French cavalry bore the brunt of the fighting, but the Allied army was again routed with heavy losses.
