The Hungarian army was led by General Artúr Görgei, while the imperial army by Lieutenant field marshal Julius Jacob von Haynau.  After a several preliminary minor battles of the Hungarian and Austrian troops along the Vág river, in which the attacking Hungarians could not achieve a success, Görgei took the command of his troops, and after receiving reinforcements, at 20 June, put his troops to attack again towards West.  Although the II.  Hungarian army corps occupied in heavy fights the village of Pered, the other two corps (the III.  and the VIII.)  were unsuccessful, and could not advance.  The angered Görgei removed the commander of the III.  corps, General Károly Knezić because of his inactivity, and Colonel Lajos Asbóth, the commander of the II.  corps who, in contrast to Knezić, was the only commander who successfully accomplished his duties.  While Knezić's place was taken by Colonel Károly Leiningen-Westerburg, who was a great choice, Asbóth's place was taken by Colonel József Kászonyi, who was an explicitly bad choice.  Haynau, who in the first day of the battle was moving the bulk of his troops to cross the Danube in order to start an attack on its southern bank, sent three of his corps, which were still on the northern bank, to repel the Hungarian forces.  The two Austrian (II., IV.)  and one Russian (Panyutin's) corps started their attack at 21 June, and forced the Hungarians to retreat from Pered and Zsigárd, which forced Görgei to order his troops to retreat from the battlefield.
