The Prussians and the Austrians lost about 2,900 men each. The Austrian army retreated and Browne even managed to slip a force around the Prussians towards the besieged Saxons, but it was too little too late. The Saxon army at Pirna surrendered on 14 October before the relief force arrived and Saxony surrendered the next day. Both Prussian and Austrian armies then retreated into their winter quarters. The map has a paste over of the battle action.
