There was to be no siege. The French assulted the city and at first were beaten back. Napoleon was hit in the ancle by a spent musket ball. Two more assults were attempted which also failed. A final assult in early evening, led by Lannes himself succeded.
1000 men of the Austrian rearguard died in the defence of Ratisbon.
