When Ney, moved his cavalry to attack, the guiding objective was to break the Prussian 6-pound horse batteries Steinwehra belonging to a cavalry brigade von Holtzendorfa . Set to charge the French were as follows;
first regiment to the charge was 10 Regiment Chasseurs a cheval , to his left en echelon was three regiment of hussars. The two combined battalions of grenadiers, and skirmishers formed a quadrangle, with the understanding that it will soon have to support the charge of his driving. 25e Regiment d'Infanterie léger was left in reserve.
batch was started 10e Regiment de Chasseurs à cheval that rubbing in columns szwadronowych, on your left with a forest cover in the form Altenburg, bent like a "bow", and drew it out at a trot and then canter it has attacked those Steinwehra battery. However, this case applies in the safety net for the opportunity to have about 250 riders a squadron of elite cuirassiers Henckel. For nothing, however, failed miserably, French rzutkość ride the momentum that is the advantage we had a whole regiment during this batch, literally crushed the drive and battery the enemy, causing it disorganized at that becoming a squadron Kürassierregiment Henckel, rejterował toward ... his regiment, set in a decent line. There was a confusion of the Prussian road, with a simultaneous escape entirely on the right flank of the infantry Grawerta . Behind this incoherent jumble followed a small group of French Chasseurs, who, however, was literally shot from the place of the Prussian infantry.
greater part of the 10th Regiment, has changed whereupon the general direction of the attack on the dragoons, while Prittwitz again folding the "hoof" battery Steinwehra, rąbiąc gunners from all sides, taking the caissons, leaving guns in place.
After breaking cuirassiers Henclkela , all right flank of these dragoons remained without cover, however that in the general turmoil of the French circuit shooters how to fulfill their horse, brave dragoons seized 73 French riders to slavery.
In general, the deposit on the right flank of the Prussian regiment previously battered cuirassiers tidied up their ranks, and the commander gave the signal to charge. They struck a gallop on the left flank of the French, who are the first in a mess and a general shifting under the pressure of dragoons Prittwitz . French Line as a result of the incident broke down completely, causing a retreat in the direction of the valley between the forest and Altenburg and Grenadier battalions skirmishers set in squares.
Prussian horse that is messed up part of the dragoons, and came cuirassiers part of "bayonets" of these skirmishers and grenadiers of the avant-garde Ney, and even! the same great battery [1] .
is in this moment, went to the counter charge 3e Regiment de hussards who, standing on the left below the forest Altenburg, now pushed to the right flank and attacked both cuirassiers and dragoons, reflecting most of the prisoners.
rest of factions of the Prussian cavalry paradująca before the big battery and the French infantry fire was quickly broken.
Admittedly, the Prussian horse at that moment she returned to the initial pattern, occupying battered Steinwehra battery, however that could not shoot without having caissons.

Distributed moment as part of the Prussian Chasseurs took the battery, chasing Gunners and pochwytując caissons. The major part of a Squadron cuirassiers Henckel kidding for reserve battery after breaking a horse by the French horse fell on the rest of the regiment rejterując cuirassiers Henckel set in line at first for the battery, and the right of the dragoons Prittwitz .
