Epilog
#normal
In the historical reality, the french army attack the russian center with Augereau's
corps but failed due to a violent snow storm. The russians counter-attack with 4000
grenadiers. The Great Army is in a bad position but Murat restore the situation by
means of the largest cavalry charge of Nopoleonic wars : 10000 cavalry men crush
the russian center but suffer many looses. In the same time, Davout success in
passing round the enemy but is stop by the arrival of Lestocq.
By 19:00 PM, Ney arrive with 10000 men and Bennigsen order the retreat. But the french
army is too tired for the pursuit. This battle is the bloodiest of the napoleonic wars :
18000 deads for the frenchs and 25000 for the russians. It is also half a victory for
Napoleon, but some months later, at Friedland, the russian army will be definitively
rushed.
