The Battle of Karánsebes
A fight broke out between hussars and infantrymen of the Austrian army campaigning against the Ottomans in Wallachia in 1788. An officer shouting "Halt! Halt!" was misheard as "Allah! Allah!" causing a mass panic. Two days later, the Ottoman army arrived. They discovered 10,000 dead and wounded soldiers.
