Their fire was wild and ineffectual; and with a tremendous cheer the allies scaled the height and burst into the works.

Close behind them General Lumley led his cavalry, who made their way through the gaps in the entrenchments, and fell upon the fugitives with dreadful slaughter.

The French and Bavarians fled to a bridge across the Danube below Donauwoerth, which, choked by their weight, gave way, and great numbers were drowned.

The rest retreated through Donauwoerth, their rear being gallantly covered by General D'Arco, with a small body of troops who held together.

Sixteen guns and thirteen standards fell into the victors' hands.
The loss of the allies, considering the force that they brought into the field--for the main army had not arrived when the victory was decided--was extraordinary, for out of a total of 10,500 men, including cavalry, they lost 1500 killed, and 4000 wounded, or more than half their force; and the greater part of these were English, for upon them fell the whole brunt of the fighting.
The enemy suffered comparatively little in the battle, but great numbers were killed in the pursuit or drowned in the Danube.
