The allies defeated the other French generals as follows: Oudinot and Reynier at Grossbeeren (Aug. 23); MacDonald at the Katzbach (Aug. 26); Vandamme at Kulm (Aug. 30); Ney at Dennewitz (Sept. 6).

Napoleon at once set about organizing a pursuit; if only Vandamme could reach Teplitz ahead of the enemy, the Army of Bohemia would be hopelessly trapped amid the mountains.

There was no clear news about the actual location of Davout, although General Vandamme commanding the local forces alarmingly reported that he believed the foe to be already in possession of Ratisbon.

Then, at the very moment when Napoleon was on the point of launching them forward, a harassed General Vandamme arrived.

While Davout pinned what little remained of the Austrian right, Lànnes, Lefebvre and Vandamme were to force their way forward along a ten-mile front between Hausen and Siegenburg.

To cover this move, Vandamme was ordered to Bautzen, and Marshal St. Cyr was instructed to hold on to Dresden at all costs against Schwarzenberg, disputing the neighboring terrain in order to gain time.

If only he had sent Vandamme to Dresden as originally envisaged, St. Cyr would have been strong enough to withstand Schwarzenberg practically indefinitely, and the manoeuvre sur les derrières could have continued unchecked if a trifle weaker in numbers.

Alternatively, had Napoleon left only two corps with Vandamme at Pirna to carry out the envelopment on the 26th, this force would almost certainly have proved strong enough to destroy the Army of Bohemia in conjunction with the pinning effect exerted by the reinforced Dresden garrison.

Bernadotte was brought up to Engerdorf, and Vandamme moved into Vienna.
