^« and, " says the Czar, '' with the assistance of God, we compelled them to fly from the field of battle... ; having not only retaken the artillery, the colors, and the equipage, which they had taken from us, but also killed so many of them that the few re- mains of the cavalry were obliged to fly towards the city of Pernow. The marshal having left behind the infantry, pursued them with the regiments of dragoons ; he overtook them a few miles from the city, and routed them afresh. On this occasion we took fifteen pieces of cannon, and sixteen colors, and a great number of prisoners. Our loss was ten officers, and about four hundred soldiers killed.
