On 13 October, Malher clashed with an Austrian force led by Johann Laudon at the Elchingen bridge. The next day, he led his troops at the Battle of Elchingen, but his division was only lightly engaged. After the successful conclusion of the Ulm Campaign, Napoleon sent the divisions of Malher and Louis Henri Loison of Ney's corps to the County of Tyrol. On 4 November, the Austrians defeated Ney's attacks at Scharnitz with heavy losses. However, on the same day the French wiped out a second Austrian force at Leutasch. Ney went on to capture Innsbruck the following day.
