During the night of 9 to 10 August, an Ottoman force of 3000 infantry and cavalrymen sallied from Tripolitsa to Loukas hill in order to attack the force of Ioannis Dagres and also for their usual raid for supplies.
The Ottoman situation temporarily improved when the garrison cavalry came to their aid, but both the Ottoman foot troops as well as the cavalry suffered heavy losses as they tried to cross the trench.
