Their attack came at the cost of the Life Guards to account for the majority of the Swedish losses in the entire battle. When the Swedes finally captured the Saxon light regimental artillery, they aimed the guns at the Saxons to good effect. At this stage, Steinau's regiment was forced to lay down their arms.
