7 November 1813 – Central Germany – Day 6

Russian 3rd and 4th corps rally and resupply at Konnern

                       

French 5^th and 6^th corps rally and resupply at Halle and Landsberg

Wiedemar depot is moved to Landsberg

French 2^nd and 14^th corps attack 1^st and 2^nd Russian corps at Gerbstedt

The French combine their artillery to form a reserve again

Once more this proves very effective

On the right the Westphalians open the attack, supported by the artillery

They lose the initial cavalry melee, and are reduced to a series of infantry melee

The artillery are unable to support the attack and move to the left wing

The Westphalians finally win, but are too disordered to pursue

On the left 2^nd Guard corps hold back until the fighting on the right is decided

When the artillery redeploy they move forward to attack

By then 2^nd Russian corps have withdrawn and taken up a new position

The French claim a victory, but the battle is undecided

1^st Russian corps may rally overnight and be able to resume next day

2^nd Russian corps is largely intact, and the Russians still hold Gerbstedt
