Many of the MĂ©tis fighters were still out of position, having been drawn away from the cemetery and church to the north-east by Middleton's feint that morning. Ammunition on the MĂ©tis side was very low. Nevertheless, they resisted bravely, aided by sharpshooters firing from across the Saskatchewan River at the charging militiamen.

Middleton, who had been with the north column, returned to the camp in a rage because van Straubenzee had not attacked.
