Die Republikaner wurden über die Sieg zurückgeworfen, und Lefèvbre hatte alle Noth zu entkommen. Schon am 11. November waren die Plünderer bis über die Sieg zurückgelaufen, und die Husaren von Barko und das Regiment Grünlaudon mit den bewaffneten Bauern überschritten noch am nämlichen Tage diesen Fluß. Prinz Würtemberg wählte am 12. November sein Hauptquartier zu Ueckerath, während Lefèvbre bei Troisdorf an der Acher ein Lager bezog und die Nachbardörfer zum Schanzarbeiten und Holzfällen zwang, womit er sich in die Erde vergrub. General Hatry zog gleichzeitig sich durch’s Rheinthal zurück, eine Menge Raubes fortschleppend, der den Lefèvbre’schen wieder abgejagt war. Die Hauptmacht der Franzosen zog mit den geraubten Vorräthen über die Wupper zurück, während Lefèvbre bei Troisdorf sich immer tiefer verschanzte. Leider durfte Prinz Ferdinand den Sieg nicht weiter verfolgen, weil der Hofkriegsrath zu Wien ihm verboten hatte, die Sieg zu überschreiten.

From an earlier form Rusa, first attested in 1296.
Ptolemy recorded the river's Pre-Germanic name as Silana, which is reflected in the name Silenen. The Germanic name for the river is attested as Rusa or Rusia from the 9th century, and was occasionally recorded as Ursa in the Early Modern period (compare Urseren). This name likely derives from the early Germanic *Rūsi or the oblique form *Rūsjō-.
Greule (1982) interprets the name as an Old European hydronym, closely related to Riß. Given Ptolemy’s record of the pre-Germanic name Silana, it is possible that only part of the river was known as Rūsi in antiquity. Alternatively, Rūsi may have been introduced as a Germanic name during the early medieval period, potentially derived from Old High German rūsa, riusa (“fish trap”) (see the modern Reuse).
