On the east bank Davout takes command of 5th
and 6th corps and moves to threaten Halle and Landsberg
On the west bank Schraplau has insufficient supplies
to support 2nd and 14th corps
2nd corps take control of the abandoned
Russian depot, and can resupply
However 14th corps must retreat to be
within supply range of Schraplau and Merseburg.
Wittgenstein also has considerable supply problems
Eisleben was his only depot on the west bank.
He orders 2nd corps to retreat to
Gerbstedt and set up a depot there
But this is not enough to resupply both 1st and 2nd corps
He moves supplies from Halle to Konnern and
Landsberg to Radegast
The French advance towards Halle and Landsberg
threatens the depots there
He takes command of 3rd and 4th
corps and moves them between the two depots
He must hold both depots until he can remove the
supplies there.
