The Morning brought relative calm.
I & III Corps pressed to clear the road. Little combat was to be had.

Many were however out of command.

By the Afternoon little had changed.
Bila’s forces were under pressure for sure.

Primarily from Soult.

Who had followed orders and pressed North and West aggressively.

Davout also pushed forward aiming for a full encirclement.

The first losses!

But wait. If a loss is required, was there a retreat available?
