Having
lost two battles Napoleon has abandoned his campaign objective of taking
Magdeburg. He orders his army to
retreat to Gihorn-Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel to rally and reorganise. Two of his corps are out of supply and the
other two running low.
Blucher
orders 1st corps to move to Wulfsburg, 2nd corps to
Rohrburg and 4th corps to hold Helmstadt. He also orders his depots to move forward to
Bismark, Eilseben and Helmstedt. Two of
his corps have also run out of supply.
However he has sufficient supplies to feed his army once the depots have
moved forward.
Both
armies have suffered heavy casualties, and will take some time to recover
Blucher
has won the Magdeburg campaign
