The battle of Peterdohna is finished!
The battle of Peterdohna is finished. Barclay de Tolly, the Allied C-i-C, has realized the presence of Napoleon himself in the battlefield so, in compliance with the Tranchenberg Plan, a general retreat has been ordered.
This wise decision has ended nine hours of bloody fight. The losses of both sides have been enormous (15,000 - 16,000 men each) and the Allied were allowed to retire unmolested by Napoleon, because of the bad state of the French infantry.
