Retreating toward Nashville Confederates were soundly defeated at the Battle if suffering 6000 casualties including six generals to 2300 casualties for the Union?

That's the Battle of Franklin . The Confederates weren't retreating, they were advancing. What they didn't realize was that Schofield was making a tactical retreat, in order to link up with George Thomas in Nashville, and had no wish to make a stand at Franklin. The battle was unnecessary.
