The French
victory at Weimar forced General Wittgenstein to order a general retreat.
Second
French army was already over extended, and at the furthest extent of their
lines of supply. Despite this Marshal
Davout ordered 2nd and 6th corps, and the reserve, to
continue to advance towards Weimar.
Occupation of the Russian main supply base would seal his victory
5th
corps was ordered to regroup at Wiessensee, and 14th corps at
Saalfeld.
