Wednesday, 3 May 1815
After a late start due to heavy fog several Neapolitan divisions, including the Guards made a fine attack against the Austrian line. Fearing cavalry they formed square and continued their advance. Unfortunatly no cavalry appeared, but instead the squares had to face a devastating fire from musket and cannon.
With troops falling back and several ruours of massive troop movements Murat ordered the retreat.
Murat fled to Corsica leaving victory to the Austrians and a casulty list of;
Naples 1,120 dead. 600 wounded. 2,400 prisoners.
Austria 700 dead. 100 wounded.
