They could therefore point to no advantage gained by their efforts or by the loss of so many men.

He advised, therefore, that as the Bavarian army was now sixty miles away, and could not very well return, as it would need large reinforcements, fresh cannon, and baggage wagons, they should take the opportunity of making themselves masters of the whole course of the Rhine and even of the Palatinate.
The Duc d'Enghien declared for this plan.

Turenne went at once to Breisach, and arranged for the transport, by boat down the Rhine, of all the necessaries for the siege of Philippsburg.

The army started on the 16th of August, a part of Turenne's army being detached to capture small towns and castles.

On the 23rd of August Philippsburg was invested by Turenne, Enghien's force arriving on the following day.
