5 October 1813 – Rosenheim Campaign – Day 3

Oudinot now has two bridgeheads over the river Isar
In the north 10th corps hold the bridge at Wassenburg
In the centre 9th and 11th corps hold the city of Rosenheim

Schwartzenberg was surprised by the occupation of Rosenheim
He immediately ordered 1st and 3rd corps to concentrate at Traunstein
He now orders them to attack Rosenheim

The battle of Rosenheim ends in a Bavarian victory
Both Austrian cavalry brigades are routed, and 1st corps forced to retreat
3rd Austrian corps press home their attack on the city, but fail to take it
The Austrians lose 2600 casualties and both cavalry brigades in rout
The Bavarians lose 1900 casualties and also two brigades in rout
