With the Albanians on the upper ridge, the other Greek forces were driven off.[14] Once the eastern ridge was in Ottoman hands, the Ottoman seized the village of Peta and then attacked the Greek forces on the western ridge from behind.[14] Attacked from both sides, the forces on the lower ridge were overwhelmed with most of the philhellenes and Greek regulars, who were now disorganized and out of formation making a desperate last stand against the Ottoman cavalry who cut them down without mercy.[13] Bakolas's treachery resulted in the overall defeat of the Greeks.
