14 October 1813 – Rosenheim Campaign – Day 12



Schwartzenberg is unable to follow up his victory at Holzkirchen
Both 2nd and 3rd corps are about to run out of supplies
If they pursue they will be out of supply range of their depots
They both halt to rally, regroup and resupply
He also orders the depot at Traunreut to move to Wassenburg
                                             
To keep up the pressure on Oudinot he orders an advance in the south
1st and 4th corps are ordered to force a crossing of the river Isar south of Rosenheim

The situation is desperate for Oudinot
If he retreats from Holzkirchen he must accept defeat
Both 9th and 10th corps are in bad shape
But he orders them to hold Holzkirchen at all costs

11th and 12th corps are ordered to concentrate at Bad Tolz
This will protect his main supply base, and also add support to Holzkirchen
Tegensee depot is ordered to move to Bad Tolz
