 After a first musket volley, the Prussians and their allies charged into a bayonet attack, with Lombard and several other French officers captured.A third French attack followed on a hill near Wolfersheim, in which a 3,000 strong cavalry contingent penetrated the Prussian positions and - after two failed attempts - a third was briefly successful in breaking the lines and capturing several cannon.The Prussians had already formed up in line and the French had to retreat again under musket fire and against fixed bayonets.
