12 July 1813 – Central Germany




Having routed from the battle of Erfurt, 1st and 4th Russian corps ordered to rally at Rudolstadt.   2nd corps ordered to cover the rout and join them there.   3rd corps, who did not take part in the battle, also ordered to concentrate there.

Davout orders his four corps to rest and regroup in their battle positions just east of the river Saale.   His supply line is now overextended and must be reorganised before he can continue his advance.
