A relief army under Turenne, d'Hocquincourt and de la Ferté attacked the Spanish lines and totally routed them with a loss of at least 7,000 men.

[1] Condé succeeded in rallying the remainder of his army and made a masterful retreat to Cambrai.

Before the battle, Turenne risked exposing himself and his officers in order to reconnoitre the Spanish lines.

In the morning Condé counter-attacked, falling on French troops who were pillaging the former Spanish camp.

[4] The young Louis XIV visited the battlefield and saw the disparity between the numbers of French and Spanish dead.
