10 November 1813 – Central Germany – End of Halle Campaign

Tactical Map

The campaign opened with the French victory at Eisleben on the west bank of the river Saale.

The Russians retreated, and had to send a second corps west of the river.  This resulted in two separate campaigns, one either side of the river

The French victory at Halle, on the east bank of the river, forced the Russians to retreat to Gerbstedt.  

The first French attack on Gerbstedt was a draw, and resulted in a second battle the following day.   The Russians won the second battle.

Both armies were now low on supplies and had considerable battle casualties.

The battle of Radegast was close fought, but once more won by the French.   This again resulted in a Russian retreat, but this time off the campaign map.

The campaign ended in a French victory.
