The Austrians have lost twelve thousand men and forty-five hundred prisoners.
Having suffered over fourteen thousand casualties in his own army, losses hard to replace for the small Prussia, Frederick decides not to assault the city walls of Prague, calculating that forty thousand soldiers in addition to seventy-five thousand inhabitants will soon consume the city stores.
The Prussian army now lays siege to the city.
