The French commanders were ordered by Joffre to continue the offensive on 23 August, as early as possible since his strategy depended on the success of the Third and Fourth armies. Ruffey replied in the morning that the attack could not begin until his divisions had reorganised and in the early afternoon, found that the Germans had forestalled another advance, by pushing the V Corps in the centre back for 8 kilometres (5.0 mi), which led to the rest of the army falling back level. In the Fourth Army area, the 33rd Division of XVII Corps had been routed and the rest of the corps had withdrawn during the night of 22/23 August. The 5th Colonial Brigade withdrew from Neufchâteau before dawn on 23 August, exposing the right flank of XII Corps, which also fell back. By the end of 23 August the survivors of the Third and Fourth armies were back to their jumping-off positions except for the XI and IX corps on the northern flank.

⇒フランス軍の司令官たちは、ジョッフルの戦略が第3、第4方面軍の成功如何に依存するので、8月23日彼ジョッフルから、可能な限り早く継続攻撃するように命じられた。朝方ルフィーは、自軍の師団を再編成するまで攻撃が始められない旨を答えたが、昼過ぎに、ドイツ軍が機先を制して再度進軍し、第5軍団を中央後部で8キロ（5.0マイル）押し戻したことによって、方面軍の残り部隊は後退のやむなきに至ったことが分かった。

⇒第4方面軍の地域に、第17軍団の第33師団が徹底的に打ち破られて、軍団の残り部隊は8月22/23日の夜間に撤退していた。第5植民地人旅団は、8月23日の夜明け前にヌフシャトーから撤退したが、それが第12軍団の右側面を（敵軍に）さらすことになって、これもまた後退した。8月23日の終わりまでに、第3、第4方面軍の生存者は、北側面の第11、第９軍団を除いて、彼らの出発点の陣地に引き返した。
