5 March 1813 – North Germany - Day 5


Both armies rally, resupply and reorganise
Corps concentrate casualties in one brigade, less 10% per brigade
Battle casualty replacements start to arrive

However in the north, Napoleon orders 3rd corps to cross the river Elbe
This results in the battle of Weyhausen, which the French lose
Both sides start with casualties, particularly cavalry and gunners
The Prussians hold against a determined French attack
At nightfall they still hold the town and the French retreat
