Confederate scouts greatly overestimated the Union strength, informing Walker that the Union had 7,000 or 8,000 men. Having at most 3,000 men, Walker deployed the <a href="/wiki/18th_Texas_Infantry_Regiment" title="18th Texas Infantry Regiment">18th Texas Infantry Regiment</a> and <a href="/wiki/1st_Texas_Field_Battery" title="1st Texas Field Battery">Edgar's Texas Battery</a> in a forward position, with the rest of his force behind <a href="/wiki/Roundaway_Bayou" class="mw-redirect" title="Roundaway Bayou">Roundaway Bayou</a> and its single bridge. The Union advance was led by the Mississippi Marine Brigade and the <a href="/wiki/5th_Minnesota_Infantry_Regiment" title="5th Minnesota Infantry Regiment">5th Minnesota Infantry Regiment</a>. An attack by the 18th Texas Infantry drove in the Union skirmishers, but the Confederates were eventually forced to withdraw behind Roundaway Bayou. An hour-long artillery duel followed. After Walker learned that his supply wagons and ambulances were safely out of the area, he ordered his men to burn the bridge and withdraw. Union troops burned the town of Richmond, but did not pursue Walker's men, who withdrew to <a href="/wiki/Delhi,_Louisiana" title="Delhi, Louisiana">Delhi</a>. Walker's men continued to operate in the area until July.
