At that time, Posse requested a ceasefire, as his reconnaissance had essentially evolved into a larger encounter; krebs accepted and after half an hour, the Swedes went back across the border.

His right wing was slowly being pushed back by the Swedes,[11] who then tried to ford the Enningdal river north of Berby, but were checked by the Norwegian fire.

[14] At 10:30, Rappe's vanguard arrived and immediately shattered the Norwegian flank with a bayonet charge, taking 17 prisoners,[15] while Ström renewed the attacks in the front.

By this time, at 12:00, Posse arrived at the battlefield in person and requested a ceasefire with Krebs,[16][15] since the fighting had greatly exceeded the intentions of his reconnaissance—both sides were also running low on ammo.

[14] Krebs hesitated at first, but eventually agreed upon half an hour long ceasefire, during which time both sides collected their many wounded.

[14] The result of the battle is somewhat disputed; Posse considered the reconnaissance as successful, and writes: "My troops were given the opportunity to convince themselves of our combat-superiority"—even though his Landwehr never saw any action.

Subsequently, the last major offensive of the war occurred when Norwegian troops invaded Jämtland for the second time, after which peace was declared between Denmark–Norway and Sweden in Jönköping, on 10 december 1809.
