Unofficial report of final action at Liebertwolkwitz

Vive l’empereur! Les braves held firm against the onslaught of the Kaiserlichs!

As expected, the latter threw all that they could at the legions of France, but a stoic defence and well-timed counter-attacks blunted them until they ran out of 'puff’.

Our reporter on the spot, General de Division Simon de l'Èspere-Frédom, sent us his notes and sketches from the battlefield—hastily composed, but beautifully detailed and colourful.

Summary of battlefield status is that the French had stabilised both its left and right flanks after facing threatening cavalry attacks on both sides. In the centre Klenau managed to gain a toe hold in a section of Liebertwolkwitz (Austrian centre right), but was repulsed.

Austrians appeared likely to take the ville with elements from 2 divisions attacking 3 points, but Murat's troops weathered the storm (some punishing artillery fire disordering cavalry + infantry at strategic points).

At the end Klenau had to decide whether to keep pushing or withdraw to fight again another day?

Attached battlefield sketches by the author show progress.
