Lord General Patrellis was not one to panic in a fix. As he stood on the ridge with the artillery and surveyed the battlefield, he noted the approach of the Spanish army. Thinking quickly, he dispatched orders. The heavy, difficult to move siege guns he ordered to the opposite side of the breastworks. They began firing on the Spanish troops from long range and high ground. Meanwhile, he staggered the departure of the field pieces, so that he maintained the maximum amount of fire and minimized risk.

The British regulars charged through the enemy lines, inflicting heavy damage to the surrounded French troops- and continued onward. They regrouped at the far side of the battlefield and began marching to their better positions at Alsace-Lorraine to rendezvous with their Prussian allies, followed by the field pieces.

The Spanish troops advanced up the hill under fire from the heavy siege guns. Suddenly, about halfway up the hill, the guns stopped. Cheered, they charged up to take the guns- and the top of the ridge exploded as the last British gunner lit the fuse connected to all the remaining gunpowder stores for the siege guns.
