The Austrians, under Archduke Charles, had halted and, as peace negotiations were under way, proposed a cease-fire. Marmont, although outnumbered, would not agree and committed his corps to battle. Massena had no option but to support him and brought his corps into action the following day. The Austrians were also reinforced on the 11th. Both sides fought hard and suffered similar casualties. Neither gained the ground and on his arrival Napoleon agreed a cease-fire. This was the last battle of the Danube campaign.
