Jackson's main artillery batteries had remained silent in the fog during this exchange, but the Union troops soon began to receive direct fire from Prospect Hill, principally five batteries directed by Lt. Col. Reuben Lindsay Walker, and Meade's attack was stalled about 600 yards from his initial objective for almost two hours by these combined artillery attacks.
Principalele baterii de artilerie ale lui Jackson au rămas nefolosite în ceața din timpul acestui schimb de focuri, dar unioniștii au început să primească foc direct dinspre Prospect Hill, în principal din partea celor cinci baterii comandate de lt. col. Reuben Lindsay Walker, iar atacul lui Meade a fost oprit la circa 550 m de obiectivul său inițial timp de aproape două ore de aceste atacuri de artilerie combinate.
