The Prussian at last fell on Mortier's weak corps and the Guard on the northern road.

Mortier's men were outnumbered four to one.

They made a desperate resistance, but it was not until Napoleon ordered up the other division of the Guard, which had only been lightly engaged, and Maurice's cavalry, that Yorck's advance was checked.
The short day had drawn to a close.

Preparations were made to pass the night on the field and in the town.

All of Sacken's baggage train and provisions had fallen into Napoleon's hands.
