clgo:notes
  • The Swedes had 300 men killed and between 500 and 900 wounded, with 800 wounded being the widely accepted number. Furthermore, two men had been captured, one of them being an officer. One standard was also lost.
  • The Saxon army in the battle had an official paperstrength of 22,230 men with 46 artillery pieces, but in reality only between 15,000 and 18,000 men (more than half being cavalry) were fit for combat, due to famine, disease and exhaustion. The Polish–Lithuanian force had an official paperstrength of about 12,000 men with 4 or 5 artillery pieces. However, at least a third of these were civilians and not combat personnel, making the total number between 6,000 and 8,000 men, mainly cavalry.
  • The Swedish army in the battle had an official paperstrength of 16,230 men with 4 four–pounder guns, but in reality only between 10,000 and 12,000 men (two thirds being infantry) were fit for combat, due to famine, disease and exhaustion.
  • The combined Saxon–Polish–Lithuanian army had around 2,000 men killed on the battlefield, more precisely about 1,800 men according to some sources. More men were killed during the retreat but their number is unknown. About 1,700 men were captured, of which 1,100 were unharmed. In total, about 1,500 Saxons and Poles were wounded. The Saxons lost all their artillery, war chest and King Augustus' entire baggage as well as 60standards and banners.
