Blucher orders the Prussian army to concentrate at Wismar, Schwerin and Ludwigslust. This will take them east of both the Wismar/Lubeck border and also the river Elbe.
Napoleon orders First French army to retreat closer to the border, but to hold the border towns of Boltenhagen, Gadebusch and Fletchingen.
The French are low on supplies, and their lines of supply are over extended from Lubeck. To ease his supply problems he must move his army west until he can reorganise his supply system.
The French have won a significant victory in the Lubeck campaign, but they are not yet ready to move into Wismar district.
