The Confederate left and center repelled Union attacks while the Confederate right under the command of General Walter Macauley drove the Union II Corps back from the Union left, decisively flanking their forces! The day concludes with the Union flank being curled.
The day began with an artillery barrage from both sides. Union batteries focused on the confederate center and left. The main thrust of the Union attack began at 9 a.m. after several hours of artillery exchange. The Union center attack became bogged down against heavy Confederate fire, Maj, Gen. Foland holding his position stoutly on the right. At around 11, Confederate forces, position statically within their lines, found Union infantry and cavalry pouring in on their exposed leftmost flank under the direct command of Lt. Gen. Samuel Brown. The fighting was heavy and nearly looked lost for the Confederacy. However, Brown was able to secure his left via movement of internal reserves and stem the tide of the Union charge.
Neither general was willing to commit his forces to an attack. Union General James Dowling withheld his Corps attack in favor of making defensive positions in the Union center. Confederate soldiers under the command of Lt. Gen. Drake Jonathan stayed firmly in their positions, awaiting a Union attack that never came. Jonathan attempted to send out his cavalry to harass, but enemy cavalry and a Corps full of fresh infantry prevented his cavalry from doing so. Union forces on the left and right also prevented flanking movements. The two sides merely traded artillery fire as Dowling's men set up positions.
Union soldiers under the command of Maj. Gen. Jacob C. Buchanan received very basic orders - simply "attack". Forming up mostly under the command of divisional officers, the Union I Corps marched forward with little direction from above. It what was perhaps one of the most beautiful, yet cacophonous arrangements of artillery, the Union I corps batteries unleashed a torrent unseen since the Napoleonic era. The Confederate guns did what they could to answer but the overpowering force of the Union batteries and the advancing Union infantry threatened Confederate guns too greatly and they had to be withdrawn. Union troops met stiff resistance from the Confederate defenders and were recalled by their officers.
"He said 'Defenses be damned! Attack!' and we did!" - Confederate soldier recounting the orders of General Macauley. Union general Johna Cornelius wisely saw the Confederate defensive position was strong and wisely ordered his men to attempt to march around it and hit it from the Confederate's exposed right flank. Despite his well defended position, however, Lt. Gen. Macauley ordered his troops to perform a flanking maneuver as well. The result was that both Corps extended to the East and engaged one another head on. Macauley's boys drove hard into the Union eastern flank. Confederate musketry was simply too great and the Union flank began to crumble, Macauley pressed his attack and pressed it until the Union flank collapsed. If it wasn''t for Macauley's lack of cavalry and Cornelius's cavalry blocking the Confederate advance, the entire Union eastern flank could have been totally rolled up. The Union II. Corps had taken a beating and reformed their ranks, but were now in a J shape to both connect to the Union line and to block the advance of the Confederate III. Corps

Despite being outnumbered almost two to one, Union commanders were masters of defensive doctrines. Utilizing the town, terrain, and bridge, they were able to confine Confederate soldier's attack and stall it for most of the morning.
The Union commanders fought a brilliant fighting retreat once the weight of the Confederate attack fell down upon them. Despite the hope of the morning of holding the town, the Union forces had to admit they no longer had the men necessary to do so.To hold this town would require every drop of Union blood.

The Confederate left and right flanks both left their defended positions to bring the battle to the Union. The Union fores marched forward as well but all along the line Union ranks broke and fell back. The Confederates now have the Union Army in a "U" shape and the freshly arrived II. Corps has yet to see action. The Confederate III Corps almost separates the army from Washington, D.C.
The day began with an artillery barrage from both sides. Union batteries focused on the confederate center and left once again. The Confederate V corps abandoned their defenses and marched out to meet the Union, an unexpected move. The Union forces were arrayed in a crescent formation prepared to assault a defended Confederate position. Once the fighting began, union forces quickly organized themselves and let out the second phase of their plan, to flank the Confederate left, only the Confederates had stacked their left flank and were executing a flanking maneuver themselves. Finally releasing the Union Cavalry to smash into the Confederate flank, a Cavalry brigade from the Second Corps arrived and engaged them. The Union eastern flank crumbled, however, the Union fell back in good order.
Neither general was willing to commit his forces to an attack. Union General James Dowling withheld his Corps attack in favor of making defensive positions in the Union center. Confederate soldiers under the command of Lt. Gen. Drake Jonathan stayed firmly in their positions, awaiting a Union attack that never came. The two sides merely traded artillery fire as Dowling's men set up positions. Not much occured.
The Confederate IV Corps received quite the rallying in the morning. Assembling themselves into a diamond, the whole corps prepared to charge. The cavalry led the charge, disrupting Union positions long enough for the Confederate main assault force the carry the field. the Union army managed to fall back in decent order, however they were push farther back.
Emboldened by the presence of Cavalry from the IV. Corps, The CSA III Corps continued to attack the Union flank. Attempted a hammer and anvil attack on the Eastern Flank. The Union II Corps also attempted to outflank the CSA III and the two forces engaged each other head on. The Union knowing they had a cavalry advantage, sent their cavalry to fulfill the flanking manuever, only the be greeted by the Cavalry of the IV. Corps of the CSA. The Union forces fell back even further under the weight of the Confederate attack

Corps Actions:
- Moves into South Eastern Virginia.
- Attempts to pacify region.
- The Rear Infantry Brigade is left behind in Virginia, reducing the French Legion to a strength of 60 Guns, 21,800 Men and 3,000 Cavalry - not accounting for attrition.
- The Legion quickly marches into Eastern Tennessee, and prepares itself to join the battle of Kentucky.
- Joyeuse Cavalry Brigade, with orders not to engage and stay as hidden as possible, thoroughly scouts out the positions of Confederate forces partaking in the battle for Kentucky.
- Main body of French Legion stops in Eastern Kentucky, and begins to subdue remaining garrisons and fortresses. Scouting information gathered from cavalry is used to aid this.
- Joyeuse Brigade is split off one-hundred soldiers, which are used to scout in a ten mile radius around the French Legion's main body, to keep total regional awareness.
- Remainder of Joyeuse raids furiously into the Eastern fringes of Carolina. While civilians are ordered not to be harmed, plantations, local armories and military logistical assets are to be destroyed.

Major-General Zant Sir,
Brigadier-General Julius C. Beaufort presenting his situational report on today's fighting by the 1st Division during the Battle of Kentucky:
In accordance with Headquarters' orders, the 1st Division carried out a rearguard defensive action in order to cover the withdrawal of Union VIII Corps towards the town of Munfordsville. During the course of fighting, our Division successfully repelled all Confederate attempts to break through our lines while ensuring the main body of the army was able to retire to Munfordsville unmolested, after which our division also crossed the Green River bridge and into the town as per your instructions.
The fighting has been heavy and immense and my Division, I regret to inform you Sir, is utterly spent by today's proceedings. Casualties are high and my brigades are down to half-strength. I have also lost the commander of my 3rd Brigade, Colonel Holland, who was killed while leading his men in action against the Confederate forces at Woodsonville. His death marks the loss of a competent officer in our Division and is a grave loss I regret to report. Our supplies are also increasingly low and further action could very well see them being used up in as little as two weeks. Unless we can resupply, the situation will continue to deteriorate day after day.
Nonetheless, in a day of heroics and selfless soldiering, I wish to single out my entire Division for praise and commendation. They have fought hard, these Mississippians, despite knowing full well that their own family and friends in the South have damned them for being traitors to the Confederacy. Yet nothing has deterred them from fighting for our great cause to preserve this nation, and for this I have been nothing but grateful to them. I hope Sir, that you will take all necessary measures to ensure their bravery does not go unrecognized. I await your orders.
Yours respectfully,
Brigadier-General Julius Beaufort
Commander, 1st Division
