===Austrian II Corps Dölitz===

===Austrian II Corps Dölitz===

The Austrian II Corps (Gen. von Merveldt) advanced towards Connewitz via Gautzsch and attempted to attack the position to find that the avenue of advance was well covered and didn't allow the Austrians to place their own artillery to support the attack.  Repulsed, the Austrians then moved to attack nearby Dölitz crossed by two bridges and leading to a Manor house and a Mill. Two companies of the 24th regiment threw out the small Polish garrison and took the position. A prompt counter attack ejected the Austrians and the battle seesawed until the Austrians brought up a strong artillery battery and blew the Poles out of the position. The Poles left bodies everywhere in their furious defense and set fire to both the Manor and the Mill on the way out.<ref>http://web2.airmail.net/napoleon/Leipzig_battle.htm#leipzigbattle11</ref>

===Battle of Markkleeberg===

===Battle of Markkleeberg===

The village of [[Markkleeberg]] was defended by Marshalls [[Józef Antoni Poniatowski|Poniatowski]] and [[Pierre Augereau|Augereau]], the attacker was General [[Friedrich Graf Kleist von Nollendorf|Kleist]] moving along the Pleisse River.  The Austrians repaired a bridge and took a school building and manor.  The French counter attacked throwing the Austrians out of the school and back over the river.  French attacks on the manor only resulted in repulse and mounting casualties for the French and Poles.  The Russian 14th Division began a series of flanking attacks that forced the Poles out of Markkleeberg.  Marshal Poniatowski stopped the retreat and stopped the advancing Russians. Catching four battalions of the Prussian 12th Brigade in the open Poniatowski directed attacks by artillery and cavalry until they were relieved by Russian Hussars.  Marshal Poniatowski retook Markkleeberg but was thrown out by two Prussian battalions.  Austrian Grenadiers then formed in front of Markkleeberg and by flank attack drove the Poles and French out of the area.<ref>http://web2.airmail.net/napoleon/Leipzig_battle.htm#leipzigbattle11</ref>
