The six Swedish battalions which were yet to arrive on their march through the forest, were also ordered to retreat, an action which isolated and exposed Hälsinge's second battalion which had previously routed the Russians and now came close to being annihilated by them.
De sex svenska bataljonerna, som fortsatte med sin marsch genom skogen, fick också order om att dra sig tillbaka, vilket var en handling som avskilde Hälsinges andra bataljon, som tidigare drev tillbaka ryssarna och som var nu nära på att bli förintade av dem.
