At this time there were 120 Hungarian cannon and 108 Austrian cannon. The great cannon fight stopped immediately after a while because the Hungarians didn't have more munitions. Haynau realized this and ordered the Austrians to move forward in the hope that Liechtenstein's reinforcement would arrive soon. This happened around 5 pm but it was not the same how Haynau had imagined because Liechtenstein's army was divided and arrived from two directions. Liechtenstein's army started attack the Hungarians from the front and the side. The Hungarian army had to retreat in the direction of the River Nyárád. General Mór Perczel tried to help to the Hungarians and sent his 9th legion to Újbesenyő (now Dudeștii Noi, Romania). But because no one wanted to command this legion they also retreated to Nyárád.
