[5] Christian August ordered Juul, the commander of Kongsvinger Fortress, to push the remaining Swedes, under Georg Adlersparre, across the border.

[2] The Swedes had about 420 combatants diverted around Prestebakke, under von Knorring (Adlersparre was not present during the attack), excluding an additional 20 men who were sick.

[7] The attack in the Swedish rear began at 03:30, which caught the Swedes completely off guard and quickly overwhelmed or forced their outposts back.

[8] A desperate struggle now occurred at the church, where several Swedish detachments had rallied; the Swedes fought behind the cemetery wall, but were overwhelmed as the Norwegians managed to encircle the position and break into their defenses.

[13] The battle had no strategic effects, as the Swedes retaliated four days later—to restore the Swedish honor—and retook what had been lost; the Norwegians quickly retreated before their much superior enemy.
