At 4:15, Kenly realized the what remained of his 700 man command had been flanked on Richardson's Hill and determined to retreat across the bridges spanning the South Fork of the Shenandoah. By 4:30, as Confederate Marylanders and Louisianans pressed the Federal flanks, Kenly organized his retreat. Once across, Kenly employed the 5th New York Cavalry and one artillery piece on Guard Hill to protect his retreat further north. Federal attempts to burn the bridges failed when Taylor's Louisiana troops advanced and beat out the flames. Kenly's attempts to burn the bridges only slowed- but did not stop-the Confederate attack.

The bridge piers are still in the water

The last phase of the battle occurred in the fields and orchard around the Thomas McKay home, "Fairview." Kenly rallied his infantry and ordered the 5th NY to charge advancing Confederate cavalry of the 6th Virginia from the position shown on the road. The New Yorkers offered no resistance, panicked and ran over their own infantry as they retreated northward

The remaining federal troops surrendered. Federal losses were 904 killed, wounded and captured. The battle opened Jackson's way to Winchester and gave him an opportunity to destroy Bank's army in the valley
