Aftermath
The defeat at Halmstad dealt a hard blow to the Danish plans to advance north and to make contact with the Norwegian army. The day after the battle the Danish King Christian V broke his camp at Kristianstad and started marching towards Halmstad. On September 5 he reached Halmstad and begun besieging the town with no result. Three weeks later he returned to Scania to find quarters for the winter.
The battle at Fyllebro was also 20 year old Charles XI's first major victory. It was an important morale boost to him, his generals and the whole Swedish army. The army was still much too weak to confront the Danes in Scania and marched north to Varberg to await more troops.
