At this juncture the brigade of Charles Leclerc assaulted the column frontally while Joubert laid down heavy flanking fire from San Marco, here Antoine Charles de Lasalle with just 26 horseman of the 22nd Horse Chasseurs charged into the melee. Lasalles men captured a whole Austrian battalion and seized 5 enemy flags, in the centre the battle was not yet won, Joseph Ocskay renewed his attack from San Marco and drove back Honoré Vials brigade. But at midday French cavalry under Joachim Murat charged the flanks of Ocskays troops, Quosdanovich realized he could not force the defile and ordered his troops to fall back out of artillery range. Meanwhile, while Lusignan was being engaged frontally by the brigade of Guillaume Brune, the division of Gabriel Rey, coming up from Castelnuovo and they crushed the Austrian column of Lusignan who fled west with less than 2,000 men remaining.
