The Russian Infantry has been battered for much of the day by French Artillery deployed to their front and enfilading their position  from the south. Nevertheless, they occupied a strong defensive position on undulating ground. Also, the last Russian reserve, two small cavalry corps, was deployed to reinforce the tenacious but exhausted infantry.  An episode of “Napoleonic” proportions is about to begin.
