due to their depleted weapons and horses.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> Throughout the four days of combat, Napoleon attempted to rush his troops, stretched out in a 30 mi (48 km) march, past the parallel-positioned Russian forces along the high road. Despite the Russian army's superiority in horse and manpower, Kutuzov hesitated to launch a full offensive, according to <a href="/wiki/Mikhail_Pokrovsky" title="Mikhail Pokrovsky">Mikhail Pokrovsky</a> fearing the risks associated with facing Napoleon head-on.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Instead, he hoped that hunger, cold and decay in discipline would ultimately wear down the French forces.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[a]</a> This strategy, however, led him in a nearly <a href="/wiki/Perpendicular" title="Perpendicular">perpendicular</a> course, placing him amidst of the separated French corps.<a href="#cite_note-Antoine-Henri_Jomini_(1838)_The_Art_of_War,_p._235-23">[22]</a> On 17 November a pivotal moment occurred when the <a href="/wiki/French_Imperial_Guard" class="mw-redirect" title="French Imperial Guard">French Imperial Guard</a> executed an aggressive feint. This maneuver prompted Kutuzov to delay what could have been a decisive final assault,<a href="#cite_note-lieven267-12">[12]</a> leading him to seek support from both his left and right flanks. This strategic decision allowed Napoleon to successfully withdraw Davout and his <a href="/wiki/I_Corps_(Grande_Armee)" class="mw-redirect" title="I Corps (Grande Armee)">corps</a> but it also led to his immediate retreat before the Russians could capture Krasny or block his escape route.<a href="#cite_note-24">[23]</a> Kutusow opted not to commit his entire force against his adversary but instead chose to pursue the French relentlessly, employing both large and small detachments to continually harass and weaken the French army.<a href="#cite_note-25">[24]</a> Overall, the Battle of Krasnoi inflicted devastating losses upon the French forces, amplifying their already continuous losses during their perilous retreat. Despite the valiant efforts of the Imperial Guard, the confrontation left the French military in dire straits and without supplies and food, further weakening their already battered army.<a href="#cite_note-Lieven,_pp._267–268-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-foord343-13">[13]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_forces_converge_on_Krasny">The forces converge on Krasny</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Krasnoi&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: The forces converge on Krasny">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Napoleon_retreats_from_Smolensk">Napoleon retreats from Smolensk</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Krasnoi&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Napoleon retreats from Smolensk">edit</a>]</div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Napoleon%27s_Retreat_from_Moscow_18_October_through_5_December_1812.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Napoleon%27s_Retreat_from_Moscow_18_October_through_5_December_1812.png/250px-Napoleon%27s_Retreat_from_Moscow_18_October_through_5_December_1812.png" decoding="async" width="250" height="195" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Napoleon%27s_Retreat_from_Moscow_18_October_through_5_December_1812.png/375px-Napoleon%27s_Retreat_from_Moscow_18_October_through_5_December_1812.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Napoleon%27s_Retreat_from_Moscow_18_October_through_5_December_1812.png/500px-Napoleon%27s_Retreat_from_Moscow_18_October_through_5_December_1812.png 2x" data-file-width="1157" data-file-height="901" /></a><figcaption>Movements of the French and Russian armies during Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, 18 October through 5 December 1812.</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BD090090(2).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/BD090090%282%29.jpg/250px-BD090090%282%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="188" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/BD090090%282%29.jpg/375px-BD090090%282%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/BD090090%282%29.jpg/500px-BD090090%282%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2504" data-file-height="1878" /></a><figcaption>The walls of the <a href="/wiki/Smolensk_Kremlin" title="Smolensk Kremlin">Smolensk Kremlin</a></figcaption></figure><figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Night_Bivouac_of_Great_Army.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Night_Bivouac_of_Great_Army.jpg/250px-Night_Bivouac_of_Great_Army.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="171" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Night_Bivouac_of_Great_Army.jpg/375px-Night_Bivouac_of_Great_Army.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Night_Bivouac_of_Great_Army.jpg/500px-Night_Bivouac_of_Great_Army.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="682" /></a><figcaption>The Grande Armée was devastated by the elements, a <a href="/wiki/Blizzard" title="Blizzard">blizzard</a> before it reached Krasnoi.

Following the loss at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Maloyaroslavets" title="Battle of Maloyaroslavets">Battle of Maloyaroslavets</a> Kutuzov compelled Napoleon to shift northward, retracing the same ravaged path he had hoped to avoid. Smolensk, situated approximately 360 km (220 mi) to the west, was the nearest French supply depot. Despite fair weather, the three-week march to Smolensk, moving approximately 18 km (11 mi) a day, proved disastrous, subjecting the Grande Armée to challenges like traversing a sparsely populated area with continuous forest, abandoned villages, grappling with demoralization, disciplinary breakdowns, hunger, extensive loss of horses and crucial supplies, as well as persistent harassment from <a href="/wiki/Cossacks" title="Cossacks">Cossacks</a> and <a href="/wiki/Partisan_(military)" title="Partisan (military)">partisans</a> who made it impossible to forage.<a href="#cite_note-26">[25]</a> While sources are not definitive, it's estimated that he arrived with 37,000 infantry, and 12,000 cavalry and artillery.<a href="#cite_note-27">[26]</a> The situation worsened with the advent of an early and harsh "<a href="/wiki/Russian_Winter" title="Russian Winter">Russian Winter</a>",<a href="#cite_note-29">[b]</a> commencing on 5/7 November.<a href="#cite_note-30">[28]</a><a href="#cite_note-31">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[30]</a> By 8/9 November, when the French reached Smolensk, the strategic situation in Russia had turned decisively against Napoleon.<a href="#cite_note-33">[31]</a> Merely 40% (37,000) of the remaining Grande Armée was still combat-ready.<a href="#cite_note-34">[32]</a> Concurrent losses on other fronts further exacerbated their dire circumstances.

This resulted in a fragmented column of disconnected corps, spanning 50 km (31 mi), ill-prepared for a significant battle.<a href="#cite_note-44">[40]</a> In the intervening space between and around these French corps, nearly 40,000 disintegrated troops formed mobs of unarmed, disorganized stragglers. As the soldiers, including the sick, blind and wounded, improvised unconventional methods to withstand the cold, the scene resembled a disordered carnival procession. (Napoleon complained to the <a href="/wiki/Henri_Jacques_Guillaume_Clarke" title="Henri Jacques Guillaume Clarke">Duke of Feltre</a> about the quality of the 180 grain-mills which were sent and distributed.)

As there was not enough room the Young Guard camped east, outside the town without any shelter against the cold.

The operation against their center was first entrusted to General <a href="/wiki/Jean_Rapp" title="Jean Rapp">Rapp</a>,<a href="#cite_note-77">[68]</a> but at the last moment, he was replaced with General <a href="/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Roguet" title="François Roguet">Roguet</a>; the Guardsmen were divided into three columns. Shortly after midnight, it was two o'clock when the movement began on Ozharovsky's force. They began a silent advance although the snow was up to their knees. (The Old Guard stayed behind and did not fight.) The Young Guard (under <a href="/wiki/Henri_Fran%C3%A7ois_Delaborde" title="Henri François Delaborde">Delaborde</a>) launched a counterattack and drove Ozharovski's detachment back from the brook. In the ensuing combat, the Russians were taken by surprise during their sleep and, despite their fierce resistance, were routed. As many as half of Ozharovsky's troops were killed with bayonets or captured, and the remainder threw their weapons in a pond and fled. Lacking cavalry, Roguet was unable to pursue Ozharovsky's remaining troops.<a href="#cite_note-78">[69]</a> On the same evening Alexander Seslavin captured Lyady; he destroyed two warehouses and took many prisoners, according to Davidov. According to sergeant Bourgogne: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote"> On the evening of our arrival the Russian army surrounded us, in front, to the right, left and from behind.

I have omitted to say that, as the head of our column charged into the Russian camp, we passed several hundred Russians stretched on the snow; we believed them to be dead or dangerously wounded. These men now jumped up and fired on us from behind, so that we had to make a demi-tour to defend ourselves. Unluckily for them, a battalion in the rear came up behind, so that they were taken between two fires, and in five minutes not one was left alive. This was a <a href="/wiki/Stratagem_(deception)" class="mw-redirect" title="Stratagem (deception)">stratagem</a> the Russians often employed, but this time it was not successful.

We now fought desperately hand-to-hand. The slaughter was terrible, and each man fought by himself for himself. As a result of this murdering combat, the Russians withdrew from their positions, without moving away, and we stood on the field of battle throughout the day.<a href="#cite_note-79">[70]</a></blockquote> Golitzin therefore decided to await Miloradovich's co-operation before pressing his advance.<a href="#cite_note-80">[71]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="16_November:_the_defeat_of_Eugène">16 November: the defeat of Eugène</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Krasnoi&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: 16 November: the defeat of Eugène">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Miloradovich_attacks">Miloradovich attacks</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Krasnoi&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Miloradovich attacks">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Eug%C3%A8ne_de_Beauharnais_in_small_uniform_of_colonel_of_the_chasseurs_%C3%A0_cheval_of_the_consular_guard_(by_Fran%C3%A7ois_G%C3%A9rard)_%E2%80%93_H%C3%B4tel_de_Beauharnais,_Paris.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Eug%C3%A8ne_de_Beauharnais_in_small_uniform_of_colonel_of_the_chasseurs_%C3%A0_cheval_of_the_consular_guard_%28by_Fran%C3%A7ois_G%C3%A9rard%29_%E2%80%93_H%C3%B4tel_de_Beauharnais%2C_Paris.jpg/220px-Eug%C3%A8ne_de_Beauharnais_in_small_uniform_of_colonel_of_the_chasseurs_%C3%A0_cheval_of_the_consular_guard_%28by_Fran%C3%A7ois_G%C3%A9rard%29_%E2%80%93_H%C3%B4tel_de_Beauharnais%2C_Paris.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="266" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Eug%C3%A8ne_de_Beauharnais_in_small_uniform_of_colonel_of_the_chasseurs_%C3%A0_cheval_of_the_consular_guard_%28by_Fran%C3%A7ois_G%C3%A9rard%29_%E2%80%93_H%C3%B4tel_de_Beauharnais%2C_Paris.jpg/330px-Eug%C3%A8ne_de_Beauharnais_in_small_uniform_of_colonel_of_the_chasseurs_%C3%A0_cheval_of_the_consular_guard_%28by_Fran%C3%A7ois_G%C3%A9rard%29_%E2%80%93_H%C3%B4tel_de_Beauharnais%2C_Paris.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Eug%C3%A8ne_de_Beauharnais_in_small_uniform_of_colonel_of_the_chasseurs_%C3%A0_cheval_of_the_consular_guard_%28by_Fran%C3%A7ois_G%C3%A9rard%29_%E2%80%93_H%C3%B4tel_de_Beauharnais%2C_Paris.jpg/440px-Eug%C3%A8ne_de_Beauharnais_in_small_uniform_of_colonel_of_the_chasseurs_%C3%A0_cheval_of_the_consular_guard_%28by_Fran%C3%A7ois_G%C3%A9rard%29_%E2%80%93_H%C3%B4tel_de_Beauharnais%2C_Paris.jpg 2x" data-file-width="969" data-file-height="1173" /></a><figcaption>Eugène de Beauharnais in small uniform of colonel of the chasseurs à cheval of the <a href="/wiki/Consular_Guard" title="Consular Guard">Consular Guard</a>.

Despite being in a favorable position to attack the French, Kutuzov hesitated. He opted for a day of rest for his troops, delaying any decisive action. In the evening, Kutuzov faced pressure from the disagreeing junior generals, especially Wilson, urging him to launch a decisive attack against Napoleon. The Russians were able to surround Napoleon and overwhelm him by their sheer superior numbers.<a href="#cite_note-95">[84]</a> However, he remained cautious and only planned for an offensive. He forbade his commanders from executing it until daylight. The Russian battle plan involved a three-pronged attack on Krasny: Miloradovich was to hold his strategic position on the hill, blocking the advance of Davout and Ney. The main army would split into two groups: Golitsyn would lead 15,000 troops and halt on the right bank of the Losvinka, in full sight of Krasny,<a href="#cite_note-96">[85]</a> while Tormasov commanded 20,000 troops tasked with encircling Krasny and cutting off the French retreat route to Orsha.<a href="#cite_note-97">[86]</a> Ozharovsky's <a href="/wiki/Flying_column" title="Flying column">flying column</a>, weakened after their defeat by the Young Guard, would operate independently west of Krasny. The remnants of Eugène's Westphalian Corps were incapable of taking any part in the action, when they arrived late in the evening. Napoleon ordered it to defile on the road to Orsha as Krasny was full with soldiers. However, at some point, Kutuzov received information from prisoners (<a href="/wiki/Quartermaster" title="Quartermaster">quartermaster</a> Puybusque and his son) that Napoleon intended to remain in Krasny and wait for Ney and not withdraw as Kutuzov had anticipated upon the arrival of Davout.

This unexpected attack instilled panic among the French troops, resulting to a hasty retreat from the road and leaving the rear guard (Dutch 33rd Regiment) on the verge of annihilation.

Four batteries of the Guard were requested. During the three or four hours that the affair lasted, I was far from remaining idle and at rest. The retreat was anticipated; it was necessary to get rid of everything that could not be taken along because the number of my horses, already greatly diminished, had suffered further losses by the obligation to complete the teams of the batteries that were going into battle, and it was necessary to sacrifice part of the equipment. The intensity of the noise, aided by beautiful freezing weather, remained the same for a long time, indicating a great tenacity of resistance; but at the same time, skirmishes could be heard on our left, announcing that we were being outflanked on that side. We were all in the greatest anxiety, which was further increased by the disorderly movement of troops and wagons covering the road and stretching into the rear; it was a true spectacle of desolation and one of the most distressing scenes. – General Bon Boulart<a href="#cite_note-MÉMOIRES_MILITAIRES_DU_GÉNÉRAL_BON_BOULART_SUR_LES_GUERRES_DE_LA_RÉPUBLIQUE_ET_DE_L'EMPIRE,_p._273-106">[95]</a></blockquote> Napoleon, fully aware of the grave danger confronting the Grande Armée, faced a critical decision. Waiting for Ney in Krasny was no longer a viable option; any determined attack by Kutuzov could spell disaster for the entire army. Furthermore, the starving French troops urgently needed to reach their closest supply source, 70 km (43 mi) west at <a href="/wiki/Orsha" title="Orsha">Orsha</a>, before the Russians could capture the town.<a href="#cite_note-caulaincourt219-107">[96]</a> In this critical moment, Napoleon's "sense of initiative" resurfaced, marking the first time in weeks. As Caulaincourt's described it: "This turn of events, which upset all the Emperor's calculations... would have overwhelmed any other general. But the Emperor was stronger than adversity, and became the more stubborn as danger seemed more imminent."<a href="#cite_note-caulaincourt219-107">[96]</a> Before daylight broke, Napoleon prepared his Imperial Guard for a bold feint against Golitsyn, hoping that this unexpected maneuver would dissuade the Russians from launching an assault on Davout. The Guardsmen were organized into attack columns, and the remaining artillery of the Grande Armée was readied for combat.<a href="#cite_note-caulaincourt220-108">[97]</a> Napoleon's strategy aimed to delay the Russians long enough to gather the forces of Davout and Ney, allowing the retreat to resume before Kutuzov could launch an attack or attempt to outflank him on the route to Orsha.<a href="#cite_note-caulaincourt220-108">[97]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Imperial_Guard_demonstrates_its_strength">The Imperial Guard demonstrates its strength</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Krasnoi&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: The Imperial Guard demonstrates its strength">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:KrasnoiBattle.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/KrasnoiBattle.gif/290px-KrasnoiBattle.gif" decoding="async" width="290" height="224" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/KrasnoiBattle.gif/435px-KrasnoiBattle.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/KrasnoiBattle.gif 2x" data-file-width="560" data-file-height="432" /></a><figcaption>A plan of the Battle of Krasnoi from the Atlas to Alison's History of Europe (1855)<a href="#cite_note-109">[98]</a></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Memorial_to_the_battle_of_Krasnoi_(November_1812).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Memorial_to_the_battle_of_Krasnoi_%28November_1812%29.jpg/290px-Memorial_to_the_battle_of_Krasnoi_%28November_1812%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="290" height="193" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Memorial_to_the_battle_of_Krasnoi_%28November_1812%29.jpg/435px-Memorial_to_the_battle_of_Krasnoi_%28November_1812%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Memorial_to_the_battle_of_Krasnoi_%28November_1812%29.jpg/580px-Memorial_to_the_battle_of_Krasnoi_%28November_1812%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="800" /></a><figcaption>A seldom-seen photograph from 1916 which captures the memorial near Krasny, illustrating the road from Smolensk.</figcaption></figure> At 2:00 a.m., four regiments of the Imperial Guards departed from Krasny to secure the terrain immediately to the east and southeast of the town.<a href="#cite_note-110">[99]</a><a href="#cite_note-111">[100]</a><a href="#cite_note-112">[l]</a> This marked a significant moment as Napoleon deployed the <a href="/wiki/Old_Guard_(France)" title="Old Guard (France)">Old Guard</a>, consisting of 5,000 exceptionally tall and well-trained men, to confront the Cossacks who had blocked the road near the Losvinka.

Stroganov responded with a devastating artillery barrage that inflicted heavy casualties on the Young Guardsmen.<a href="#cite_note-wilson270-125">[111]</a> Kutuzov ordered Miloradovich to reposition his forces, linking up with Golitsyn's lines and concentrating their strength behind Golitsyn's position.<a href="#cite_note-wilson270-125">[111]</a> This maneuver prevented Miloradovich from completing the destruction of Davout's troops.<a href="#cite_note-126">[112]</a> As Davout's troops continued their westward movement, they were relentlessly harassed by Cossacks, and Russian artillery under Stroganov pounded Davout's corps with grapeshot, causing devastating casualties.

The risk of being encircled and defeated by Kutuzov's forces was too great. Napoleon made a crucial decision to order the Old Guard to fall back on Krasny and follow him in a westward march towards <a href="/wiki/Lyady,_Vitebsk_Region" title="Lyady, Vitebsk Region">Lyady</a>. Meanwhile, the exhausted Young Guard would hold their ground at the Losvinka.

He called Mortier to his side, grasped his hand kindly, and said, 'There is no time to lose! The enemy is breaking through from all sides. Kutuzov may reach Lyady, even Orsha and the last bend of the Dnieper before me. I must move swiftly with the Old Guard to secure that passage. Davout will relieve you.

This day, 17 November, might be remembered as the bloodiest in the Young Guard's history. The many wounded soldiers were left behind and perished in the snow.

A great deal of skirmishing and minor actions took place at various points along the road, but nothing really serious happened until the 17th. By that date Napoleon had been at Krasnoe for two days, waiting for his extended column to close up.

Indeed, his anxiety to ensure that the main road should remain open induced Napoleon to order an attack against Kutuzov by the Guard on the morning of the 17th. At first he thought to entrust this operation to General Rapp, but then changed his mind and placed General Roguet of the Middle Guard in command. The operation was a complete success. The southbound French columns (16,000 strong) caught Kutuzov completely unawares, so accustomed had he become to the idea of a passive French opponent. The Russian partisan leader, Davydov, fancifully recorded that "The Guard with Napoleon passed through our Cossacks like a hundred-gun ship through a fishing fleet", and in no time the Russian commander in chief was ordering his 35,000 men to retreat south. The Russians subsequently tried to misrepresent the outcome of the action, claiming that "Bonaparte commanded in person and made the most vigorous exertions, but in vain; he was obliged to flee the field of battle."

Thus, seven of the planned sixteen monuments were installed. The monuments in Borodino, Maloyaroslavets, Krasny and Polotsk were blown up and melted down.
