When Murat smiled I nearly lost it. Only a true cavalryman would grin when told to attack an entire army with ten thousand cavalry. An awesome moment in time!
Thing is back then Cavalry was God on the battlefield and the Russians never saw them coming. So over 10,000 Cavalry charged in bad weather and broke into two groups and smashed into the Russians. Murat was forced to retired but d'Hautpoult's cuirassiers burst through everything, and the broken Russians were cut to pieces by fresh regiments of cuirassiers I.E. Heavy cavalry over individuals who are around 6 feet or taller on large horses. Not a good time to be a Russian.
"Messieurs, l'Empereur nous regarde et nous allons avoir l'honneur de lui montrer ce que nous savons faire" (1:37) tout dit. Le simple fait de mentionner le nom de Napoléon (l'Empereur) était un talisman, une dose de adrénaline pour ses soldats. le meilleur exemple de ce que doit être un chef avec ses subalternes. Vive l'Empereur .
" non, il n'empêche que c'est magnifique !" ( 2:07). Incroyable. Parler d'esthétique en dehors de toute autre considération ! Une autre époque qui ne manquait pas de classe.
C'est comme un général français pendant la guerre de Crimée sous Napoléon III. En parlant de la charge de la cavalerie anglaise contre les russes: "c'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre".
It turns out beautifully in the movies ... In fact, it was a massacre. The French army lost 6,000 more soldiers than the Russian. On February 7, the Russian army drove the French army out of the city of Eylau twice. Only for the third time did Legrand's division manage to stay in the city. On February 8, the main battle began ... After the attacks of Marshal Davout, the Russians weakened the center. And then Napoleon sent General Augereau's corps to attack the center. Suddenly a blizzard began. When it ended, General Augereau's soldiers found themselves in front of a Russian battery of 72 guns. The losses were terrible ... The Russians launched a bayonet attack, and Augereau's corps began to retreat. The Russian cavalry almost broke through to the place where Napoleon stood. But then Marshal Murat sent 7000 cavalrymen to the flank of the Russian troops ..... A new massacre began .... The Russians and French retreated to their positions ..... All the soldiers were so tired that they could not move .... Only artillery fired from both sides until 21 o'clock. But the troops were unable to advance. Neither the Russians nor the French ... This is the bloodiest battle in the history of Napoleon. At night, the Russian troops began to withdraw to the border .... The French army remained in Eylau for another 10 days ... They could not move, collected the wounded and buried the dead. After which the French army retreated to Poland ... For three months after that there was not a single battle between the Russians and the French.
KillreDstone86 2nd greatest cavalry charge in human history as far as I know. Led by monsieur Joachim Murat who was also known to be a bonvivant and dandy but a ruthless and brilliant cavalry officer too. 11000 frensh cavalry men did their best to put pressure on the huge russian line to gain some advance and time for the retreating infanrty to regroup. I can't even imagine such hugh numbers of riders. In the aftermath frensh army gained a tactical victory but had no strategic benefit of this costly battle. lt must have been a truly magnificient and scary sight! The earth trembling under the constant hard gallop of uncountable horses. One frensh marshal later stated: "qual massacre et sans resultat." while walking past the more than 40000 victims of this bloody day (Biggest charge was at vienna in 1683 with 20000+ Polish, German and Austrian cavalry against ottoman army of 100000+)
Wonderful scene from an amazing series! I wish I could have it too. I've never seen any film with so many well-uniformed extras, except maybe ":Waterloo" with the Yugoslav soldiers. The cavalry scenes I have never seen better than this!
@SpainBlood001 It is definitely an excellent, outstanding series! I have collected and painted hundreds of French and Austrian soldiers (and some British, Bavarians, and Russians) of the epoch from the model lines of ITALERI and HAET mainly to commemorate the heroic days of Aspern-Essling and Wagram, but also Austerlitz, Waterloo, etc. I have some Saxons and Prussians to add as well. I already have 1,650 painted and about 800 more to do. Honor to the great heroes and commanders!
Not a great depiction of this battle - it's hard to capture the scale of these big Napoleonic scraps, and on film and tv as here they come up looking like a brief skirmish, rather than the epic, titanic clashes they really were. Even accepting it's tough to show such a battle, as it's from a show about Boney himself I'd have shown the moment at Eylau where he was nearly captured in the bell tower and his bodyguard and staff had to hold off attackers long enough for the Guard to rescue them. Murat's cavalry charge at Eylau depicted in this clip was actually made up with about 11,000 men and horses (!), about 1,000 more than the Rohan at Minas Tirith. ;-)
Agreed rock. Bautzen and Lutzen in the War of Liberation were THE most titanic battles of Napoleonic wars. More than 500,000 men struggled over one bloody field for 3 days.
@SpainBlood001 By the way, the 1:72 figures are only about an inch tall (2.5 cms). I strongly advise against taking them out of their frame, since painting with each one in your hand is impossibly difficult. It's easier to move from figure to figure on the frame and paint them all together. Some people may want to make larger groups of soldiers of a certain regiment. My decision was 24 for infantry and 12 for cavalry. Artillery varies according to the kit: one cannon, but gunners 4 to 6.
@Char091Leclerc Napoleon was a great military genius (only Alexander on his par), with outstanding commanders, and his superb Grajde Armee. This series is excellent!
This was one WORST MASSACRES of the Napoleonic Wars ever - probably only comparable to Borodino...However HERE the "image" of the battle has had a lil'..."cosmetic redefinition", 'cause the TERRIBLE LOSSES sustained by the French, were mainly due to the fact that there was a heavy snow-storm, so the lines of infantry couldn't even SEE THE ENEMY. One French column instead of marching against the enemy, screwed, and went practically parading ACROSS the Russian artillery, that spotted them and started firing "mitraille". When you got an infantry line column doing something like that, it is very possible they'll DIE QUICKER than change the direction of the attack. At the end Murat saved the day...... yet!... ...the French would get their Revenge - soon at Friedland they would BREAK the Russians... PS.VIVE L'EMPEREUR!Vive la France! Vive la Pologne!

I'm curious, I heard that there was a version of the miniseries in French but it appears that some dialogue is spoken in French and other parts are dubbed over (Murat in this scene). Is this how it was? Wish I could buy the French version. It's a brilliant show.
@SpainBlood001 Forgot to say, the French general staff with Napoleon, marshalls, and some Chasseurs de la Garde is by ITALERI. Anybody else interested in Napoleonic modeling can look up the two companies. In addition, ITALERI has a couple of kits at the scale of 1:32, if you want to begin on a larger scale until you get the practice. There isn't much variety at 1:32, however. As I remember, they had French dragoons and Austrian grenadiers, but of very good quality.
@SpainBlood001 it's a personal project, with some input from two grandsons, particularly the older one who helped with some painting of the troops and horses, and he helped playing chess (and even beating me! --the nerve!). They're here at home in large box tops of filing boxes. But you can do it, or anyone else who reads about it and is interested, and it sounds like many are interested and knowledgeable.
It's not a movie.. it's a 4-part TV mini-series, simply called "Napoleon". It is very hard to get on DVD any more, but if you can find a copy, do get it! Search for Napoleon starring Christian Clavier if online shopping. Goto Wiki, search for "Napoléon (miniseries)" for more info.
La France n'a jamais eu peur de se battre, facile de perdre plusieurs bataille qu'en vous avez une coalition en face de vous, Napoléon à au moins tenter d’unifié l'Europe
Surtout que la France c'est battu souvent à 1 contre 2 voir contre 3, et qu'il est bien plus dur, pour ne pas dire infiniment plus dur de faire la guerre en Europe du 19eme en terrain hostile face à des armées équipés et des généraux de valeurs, que d'avoir des colonies dans des desert de neige au Canada, ou desert de terre en Australie. N'est ce pas les english ?
MrMANUBZH56 il a avant tout tenté de mettre une paix définitive par le traité d'Amiens 1802 qui faisait reconnaître à la coalition la République française et ses conquêtes en Italie du nord. Georges III d'Angleterre rompra le traité de paix 6 mois plus tard. c'est plus de 1200 navires marchands français de capturer dans les ports anglais. mais en fait la stratégie de notre empereur se basait sur la BLITZKRIEG(la guerre éclair) il attaquait ses ennemis en train de se préparer avant qu'ils ne soient prêts
MrMANUBZH56 Ici en Nouvelle-France, la France a réalisé des exploits face à des troupes anglaises, les gens ici ne connaissent que les défaites, ils pensent que nous sommes un peuple de perdants...
oui! hélas on est obligés de planer sur les faits majerus de notre histoire. mais grâce à un youtubeur j'ai beaucoup appris sur la lutte acharnée des forces françaises et du marquis de Montcalm. mais la lutte continue! VIVE LE QUEBEC LIBRE!
Many thanks for your kind words - though I'm about as academic as a loaf of bread! I find the contradictions impossible to fathom. On the one hand, we understand that there existed a world as portrayed by Dickens, yet on the other we can revel in the "Pomp and Circumstance". Again, my thanks.
@SpainBlood001 It has been my pleasure to share with you, and thank you for calling me comrade. I hope that we will be so in spirit even though we will be on separate ways. By the way, you might be able to do something like this in your free time in the army. Maybe it will be a pleasant surprise for your sergeant or captain! Are you Spanish, because on my mother's side I had a great grandfather (Vicente Sanchez) who was a colonel under Maximilian and his parents were Spanish.
La vieille garde. Le plus vieux de la vieille. Ils étaient des guerriers féroces et les plus fiers toute empereur pouvait espérer posséder. Puisse le souvenir de ces géants légendaires de la guerre ne se démentira jamais!
Does anyone know where I can find the french version of this miniseries with english subtitles? the only episodes and videos I could find on youtube of it were all from the English version of the production, since it seems every actor that played in it spoke both English *and* French fluently enough to make two takes of every scene. don't get me wrong, the english version is great. but I think the French one would seem a bit more immersive and realistic.
Je peux jurer que la voix doublée de Murat est Gilbert Lachance. Je reconnais ce ton de voix partout (voix francophone d'Ezio Auditore dans Assassin's Creed II).
En son temps, malgré celà , elle a perdu la campagne de Russie, perdu encore à Waterloo. On dira peut être que cette armé a perdu contre le Général Hiver, mais quelle Général qui ne tient pas compte du climat ?
Who else has the scope and influence on military history that Alexander and Napoleon have had? Certainly, Genghis Khan conquered many lands and made a huge empire, and although some of the conquests were the result of his generals like Subutai and Jebe, to whom he gave a good deal of initiative in invading the Caucasus and eastern Europe, still he might be considered a third military giant for the scope of his success.
@SpainBlood001 For designating a regiment I used three bases of infantry (24) and three bases of cavalry (12). This way I had a number but was also able to designate a good variety of regiments . That's up to you. My grandsons and I had the idea to use them as chessmen. I made a chessboard 39 3/4 inches long (ca, 1 meter) by 29 3/4 inches wide (ca 55 1/2 cms), leaving some margin and making, not squares but rectangles for the playing pieces. I'll describe how we do it. (next)
@ragbones111 I suppose as a formation against cavalry, the circular sheltron of the 12th - 13th century might be considered to be an ancestor... the idea was the same, but differed from pike walls in that it was on all sides. the scots used it to great effect at falkirk and bannockburn
@SpainBlood001 The King is frequently an emperor (France, Austria, Russia) with staff or guards, although Wellington is the British king piece with staff. The Queen could be the outstanding marshall & generals (four on horse). Castles are artillery groups (cannon and gunners). Bishops are heavy cavalry, and Knights are light cavalry (you have to know which is which to not get confused! ). Obviously, Pawns are infantry of whatever type.
Indeed, i m afraid of nowdays because nothing is really clear, you don't know what to believe, everything is hidden. In my opinion we live in an unstable peace and for me a good war is better than a bad peace. I m glad I can have a "conversation" on youtube without trolls or what so ever. respect
It is a four DVD serie, one DVD per part. It is French made by Yves Simoneau, I believe you might be able to find it in English version on Ebay or something like this! If you find it, buy it, it is great!! Les régiments de cuirassiers, impressionant n'est-ce-pas ! Et les grenadiers de la vieille garde! Ah lalalala, leur courage est epoustouflant! Vive l'Empereur !
@Supduplemup it was simultaniously produced in english and french, so if you take it very serious it´s not the same movie cuz every scene was shot twice.
This charge is considered as the largest cavalry charge in history and is the most documented amongst the other candidates, 12 000 horsemen, 900 meters width (3000 feets) and 200 meters long (650 feets), the only image you can get to have an idea of such a charge is to watch Lord of the Rings biggest charge its the only "image" close enough to this one. This to say that a commander that can use a non commonly used weapon (like cavalry at this time) to change the face of a battle is the greatest
@SpainBlood001 I apologize for how I expressed myself. What I have painted is plastic model soldiers of 1:72 scale by the two companies mentioned, ITALERI AND HAT (or HAET, since the "a" has an umlaut or two dots over it). I could see if I could get help to put them onto a package capable of being put on TH-cam. I'm not too knowledgeable about those things. It you think you would be interested yourself in modeling, look up the two companies in some toy or model stores.
Ceci est un film, je sais bien, mais il est très mal fait: tout d'abord La Bataille Eylau eut lieu dans des conditions météorologiques exécrable, mauvaises vue sur le champ de bataille, bourrasques de neige, banc de brumes. La bataille fut confuse et chaotique. Des unités entière s'égarèrent sur le champ de bataille. Par exemple deux escadrons des Grenadiers à Cheval de la Garde se retrouvèren soudainement au millieu des lignes russes... à l'offre des Russe de se rendre, le Colonel Lepic commandant des Grenadier rétorqua: « Regardez-moi ces figures et dites-moi si elles ont l'air de vouloir se rendre ! », il ordonna la charge, les Russes furent à nouveau percées et ils regagnèrent les lignes françaises. La Bataille d'Eylau fut également une véritable boucherie pour les deux camps. Napoléon en fut d'une certaine manière choqué. Affecté par les pertes subies, et contrairement à son habitude, il restera huit jours sur le champ de bataille pour superviser les secours aux blessés.
most squares are difficult to break unless the attackers were VERY well coordinated. however the 6th light infantry had their's broken when a fallen horse from the king's german legion crashed into the front and the rest charged through. this was at garcia hernanez. of course lancers were also deadly against a square!
When Murat smiled I nearly lost it. Only a true cavalryman would grin when told to attack an entire army with ten thousand cavalry. An awesome moment in time!

Mais les autrichiens ont trahis Napoléon alors qu'ils ont promis de ne plus lui faire la guerre après Austerlitz.
Bon c'est un peu la faute de Napoléon aussi....
Il a beaucoup trop humilier L'Autriche après Austerlitz. Un peu comme l'Allemagne avec le traité de Versailles.
Ils ont donc eu un esprit revanchard.
@@mrsupremegascon pas la faute à Napoléon si il est trop fort et qu'ils sont trop nuls 🤷♂️

I'm curious, I heard that there was a version of the miniseries in French but it appears that some dialogue is spoken in French and other parts are dubbed over (Murat in this scene). Is this how it was? Wish I could buy the French version. It's a brilliant show.
Can someone please make full transcript of the dialogs in French?
I have this series in DVD in English. Such a great series on Napoleon.
it is kinda strange though, it looked like Napoleons own cavalry was charging him when he looked into the binocular.
@SpainBlood001 Forgot to say, the French general staff with Napoleon, marshalls, and some Chasseurs de la Garde is by ITALERI. Anybody else interested in Napoleonic modeling can look up the two companies. In addition, ITALERI has a couple of kits at the scale of 1:32, if you want to begin on a larger scale until you get the practice. There isn't much variety at 1:32, however. As I remember, they had French dragoons and Austrian grenadiers, but of very good quality.
Charge is truly epic! What is the title of the movie?
ortalion the "série Napoléon" of 2003
@SpainBlood001 it's a personal project, with some input from two grandsons, particularly the older one who helped with some painting of the troops and horses, and he helped playing chess (and even beating me! --the nerve!). They're here at home in large box tops of filing boxes. But you can do it, or anyone else who reads about it and is interested, and it sounds like many are interested and knowledgeable.
va-tu nous laisser dévorer par ces gens là? that's actually a pretty cool line. (are you going to let us be devoured by those people?)
It's not a movie.. it's a 4-part TV mini-series, simply called "Napoleon". It is very hard to get on DVD any more, but if you can find a copy, do get it! Search for Napoleon starring Christian Clavier if online shopping. Goto Wiki, search for "Napoléon (miniseries)" for more info.
La France n'a jamais eu peur de se battre, facile de perdre plusieurs bataille qu'en vous avez une coalition en face de vous, Napoléon à au moins tenter d’unifié l'Europe
Surtout que la France c'est battu souvent à 1 contre 2 voir contre 3, et qu'il est bien plus dur, pour ne pas dire infiniment plus dur de faire la guerre en Europe du 19eme en terrain hostile face à des armées équipés et des généraux de valeurs, que d'avoir des colonies dans des desert de neige au Canada, ou desert de terre en Australie.
N'est ce pas les english ?
MrMANUBZH56 il a avant tout tenté de mettre une paix définitive par le traité d'Amiens 1802 qui faisait reconnaître à la coalition la République française et ses conquêtes en Italie du nord.
Georges III d'Angleterre rompra le traité de paix 6 mois plus tard.
c'est plus de 1200 navires marchands français de capturer dans les ports anglais.
mais en fait la stratégie de notre empereur se basait sur la BLITZKRIEG(la guerre éclair)
il attaquait ses ennemis en train de se préparer avant qu'ils ne soient prêts
MrMANUBZH56 Ici en Nouvelle-France, la France a réalisé des exploits face à des troupes anglaises, les gens ici ne connaissent que les défaites, ils pensent que nous sommes un peuple de perdants...
oui!
hélas on est obligés de planer sur les faits majerus de notre histoire.
mais grâce à un youtubeur j'ai beaucoup appris sur la lutte acharnée des forces françaises et du marquis de Montcalm.
mais la lutte continue!
VIVE LE QUEBEC LIBRE!
silentkillerqc Tu parle du marquis de Montcalm ? :)
Many thanks for your kind words - though I'm about as academic as a loaf of bread! I find the contradictions impossible to fathom. On the one hand, we understand that there existed a world as portrayed by Dickens, yet on the other we can revel in the "Pomp and Circumstance". Again, my thanks.
@SpainBlood001 It has been my pleasure to share with you, and thank you for calling me comrade. I hope that we will be so in spirit even though we will be on separate ways. By the way, you might be able to do something like this in your free time in the army. Maybe it will be a pleasant surprise for your sergeant or captain! Are you Spanish, because on my mother's side I had a great grandfather (Vicente Sanchez) who was a colonel under Maximilian and his parents were Spanish.
The look between them both when the Emperor ordered him to die was amazing.
Complete devotion
La vieille garde. Le plus vieux de la vieille. Ils étaient des guerriers féroces et les plus fiers toute empereur pouvait espérer posséder. Puisse le souvenir de ces géants légendaires de la guerre ne se démentira jamais!
Where do you get these films from?
+Master Quang this is a french saga called Napoleon but I dont know if it is in french
@@alfamapper6318 In fact, everybody spoke in english during the filmmake
Its french
Does anyone know where I can find the french version of this miniseries with english subtitles? the only episodes and videos I could find on youtube of it were all from the English version of the production, since it seems every actor that played in it spoke both English *and* French fluently enough to make two takes of every scene. don't get me wrong, the english version is great. but I think the French one would seem a bit more immersive and realistic.
+Lotak Smith There is on youtube the french version but idk if there is the english translation its named SAGA Napoleon_épisode 1sur 4
La Garde meurt mais ne se rend pas ! Vive l'Empereur, vive la France !

Is this series made in English or French? Ive seen a version in english too, I thought it the original
Vive l' empereur et vive la cavalerie -
what is that movie called???
Je peux jurer que la voix doublée de Murat est Gilbert Lachance. Je reconnais ce ton de voix partout (voix francophone d'Ezio Auditore dans Assassin's Creed II).
What movie is this? Please tell me.
Name of the film Monsieur???

- Non, mais il n'empêche que c'est magnifique.
Can you please make a tranacript from every speach please pleaae :)
I don't speak French, but even a French version with English sub titles would be fine? Anyone know whether the DVD has English sub titles?
Of which DVD is this from; I'd love to have a copy.

Who else has the scope and influence on military history that Alexander and Napoleon have had? Certainly, Genghis Khan conquered many lands and made a huge empire, and although some of the conquests were the result of his generals like Subutai and Jebe, to whom he gave a good deal of initiative in invading the Caucasus and eastern Europe, still he might be considered a third military giant for the scope of his success.
What is the name of this movie?
That sweet sweet relief when reinforcements arrive. TW players know dat feel :3
oh okay, so the english version is not the original and its only translated by translators ?
@SpainBlood001 By the way, any modeling would be after basic training, which is pretty intense.
@IGOTDOWNS it's an extract of a french TV series. the name of the serie is "napoleon" an the actor is christian clavier
oh god I'm so excited to see old guards in action. Wat movie or tv series is this ?
@Char091Leclerc what's the name of the series? Is it pretty historically accurate?
What movie was this from?
What is this scene from, a movie, documentry, series? can someone let me know. Many thanks
@SpainBlood001 For designating a regiment I used three bases of infantry (24) and three bases of cavalry (12). This way I had a number but was also able to designate a good variety of regiments . That's up to you. My grandsons and I had the idea to use them as chessmen. I made a chessboard 39 3/4 inches long (ca, 1 meter) by 29 3/4 inches wide (ca 55 1/2 cms), leaving some margin and making, not squares but rectangles for the playing pieces. I'll describe how we do it. (next)
Probablement le plus magnifique exploit de bataille de la vieille garde. Vive l'empereur!
I remember watching this on TV once here in the States.
est-ce que cela va suffire?
- non mais il n'empêche que c'est magnifique...
@ragbones111
I suppose as a formation against cavalry, the circular sheltron of the 12th - 13th century might be considered to be an ancestor... the idea was the same, but differed from pike walls in that it was on all sides. the scots used it to great effect at falkirk and bannockburn

@@axoul3431 jamais trop tard pour l'empereur
What movie is this called?
@SpainBlood001 The King is frequently an emperor (France, Austria, Russia) with staff or guards, although Wellington is the British king piece with staff. The Queen could be the outstanding marshall & generals (four on horse). Castles are artillery groups (cannon and gunners). Bishops are heavy cavalry, and Knights are light cavalry (you have to know which is which to not get confused! ). Obviously, Pawns are infantry of whatever type.
It is incorrect English to say "most bloodiest" . It is either 'bloodiest' or ''most bloody"

@darsh9999 or italian? ;)
La Garde Imperiale, the most elite and brave army regiment of its time.
Успокаивайте себя, что все именно так, как вы себе представляете
Indeed, i m afraid of nowdays because nothing is really clear, you don't know what to believe, everything is hidden. In my opinion we live in an unstable peace and for me a good war is better than a bad peace. I m glad I can have a "conversation" on youtube without trolls or what so ever. respect
It is a four DVD serie, one DVD per part. It is French made by Yves Simoneau, I believe you might be able to find it in English version on Ebay or something like this!
If you find it, buy it, it is great!!
Les régiments de cuirassiers, impressionant n'est-ce-pas ! Et les grenadiers de la vieille garde! Ah lalalala, leur courage est epoustouflant!
Vive l'Empereur !
@Supduplemup it was simultaniously produced in english and french, so if you take it very serious it´s not the same movie cuz every scene was shot twice.
this looks a really good series
This charge is considered as the largest cavalry charge in history and is the most documented amongst the other candidates, 12 000 horsemen, 900 meters width (3000 feets) and 200 meters long (650 feets), the only image you can get to have an idea of such a charge is to watch Lord of the Rings biggest charge its the only "image" close enough to this one.
This to say that a commander that can use a non commonly used weapon (like cavalry at this time) to change the face of a battle is the greatest
canister ammunition or cannonball was used, and first was more useful against infantry
That sounds like a good motto: Je n'ai pas encore perdu. I haven't lost yet.
@SpainBlood001 I apologize for how I expressed myself. What I have painted is plastic model soldiers of 1:72 scale by the two companies mentioned, ITALERI AND HAT (or HAET, since the "a" has an umlaut or two dots over it). I could see if I could get help to put them onto a package capable of being put on TH-cam. I'm not too knowledgeable about those things. It you think you would be interested yourself in modeling, look up the two companies in some toy or model stores.
@Supduplemup
it's an European production and you can to seek it in English
Va tu nous laissez dévorer par ces gens là ! Celle là elle est célèbre cette phrase.
Title?
Ceci est un film, je sais bien, mais il est très mal fait: tout d'abord La Bataille Eylau eut lieu dans des conditions météorologiques exécrable, mauvaises vue sur le champ de bataille, bourrasques de neige, banc de brumes.
La bataille fut confuse et chaotique. Des unités entière s'égarèrent sur le champ de bataille. Par exemple deux escadrons des Grenadiers à Cheval de la Garde se retrouvèren soudainement au millieu des lignes russes... à l'offre des Russe de se rendre, le Colonel Lepic commandant des Grenadier rétorqua: « Regardez-moi ces figures et dites-moi si elles ont l'air de vouloir se rendre ! », il ordonna la charge, les Russes furent à nouveau percées et ils regagnèrent les lignes françaises.
La Bataille d'Eylau fut également une véritable boucherie pour les deux camps.
Napoléon en fut d'une certaine manière choqué. Affecté par les pertes subies, et contrairement à son habitude, il restera huit jours sur le champ de bataille pour superviser les secours aux blessés.
Le même Colonel LEPIC, à ces mêmes grenadiers à cheval: "Haut les têtes, Messieurs, la mitraille c'est pas de la merde!"
Vive l'Empereur! Tous a Warteloo en Juin 2015 pour les deux cents ans de la bataille!
most squares are difficult to break unless the attackers were VERY well coordinated. however the 6th light infantry had their's broken when a fallen horse from the king's german legion crashed into the front and the rest charged through. this was at garcia hernanez. of course lancers were also deadly against a square!
