At last the Prussian right wing, hitherto not engaged, though suffering from the artillery fire on the heights, had their turn.

General Mannstein discovered that, at the angle where Browne threw back the right wing of the army to face the Prussians, there was a gap.

The troops there had gradually pressed more to their right, to take part in the tremendous conflict; and the elbow was, therefore, defended only by a half-moon battery.
Through the fish tanks he led the way, followed by Princes Henry and Ferdinand.

The whole division struggled through the mud, drove back the Austrians hastily brought up to oppose them, captured the battery, and poured into the gap; thereby cutting the Austrian army in two, and taking both halves in flank.
This was the deciding point of the battle.

The Austrian right, already holding its own with difficulty, was crumpled up and forced to fall back hastily.
