In the meantime, at the behest of his Swedish officers, who felt embarrassed that they had not participated in the battle, the Crown Prince Charles John gave the order for his light infantry to participate in the final assault on Leipzig itself.
Under tiden, på order av de svenska officerarna, som kände sig skamsna att de inte har fått delta i striden, gav kronprinsen Karl Johan beslutet om att skicka in hans lätta infanteri för att delta i det slutliga anfallet mot själva Leipzig.
