French troubles
The battle of Peterdohna is not going well for Napoleon. While all Allied forces are in the battlefield, the French reinforcements are being delayed by bad staff work. Thus, the Latour-Mauburg's I Cavalry Corps scheduled for arrival at 13.00h arrived at 14.30h.
Meanwhile, the Allied commanders (Wittgenstein and Kleist) have launched a frontal attack, and the Prussians have succesfully breaken the French front with the Klux's 9th Brigade. Napoleon himself is in danger to be overruned!

Mon dieu! Rafa please get the Emperor out of harms way it just wouldn't do for him to be captured by mere Prussian Line Infantry.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a tactical withdrawal of the command group?

L'Empereur has wisely retired some hundreds of meters. He was musing something like "the bullet that will kill me is not yet cast".
ReplyDeleteWithdrawal is not amongst Napoleon's alternatives and Mortier is approaching fast!
