Zwei Meile Hauschen part two

With the defeat of the Altsteiner hussars von Essling thought he had his enemy in his grasp. His infantry outnumbered the Altsteiners three to two, it was now time to advance and exchange musket fire.

On the left flank the Ostburg regiment and the Altstein Grenadiers face off, the Ostburgers have been depleted by artillery fire and Weingartners jagers.

On the right flank the Essling Fusileers advance too quickly to fire and the Altstein Musketeers wheel a short distance and give fire without reply.

When the smoke clears the Fusileers are devastated and leave the field.

On the other flank the Altstein Grenadiers get the upper hand and send the Ostburgers packing.

Von Essling still has the Eisenburg Grenadiers in reserve.

Von Essling splits a battalion off to face the Altstein Grenadiers.

While the Kazinsky Uhlans threaten their flank.

Which forces the Altstein Grenadiers to split in order to defend the flank.

Von Bruckenheim rallies a gun battery from two broken ones.

A fierce firefight begins on the right flank.

The Altstein Musketeers give as good as they get but are forced to retire.

Kazinsky charges the weakened grenadiers.

Who are under immense pressure.

And are forced to surrender.

Von Bruckenheim concedes defeat and surrenders to his old adversary.

So ended a hard fought battle in which von Essling emerged victorious, just!.
