An
adjutant
galloped
up
from
the
flèches
with
a
pale
and
frightened
face
and
reported
to
Napoleon
that
their
attack
had
been
repulsed
,
Campan
wounded
,
and
Davout
killed
;
yet
at
the
very
time
the
adjutant
had
been
told
that
the
French
had
been
repulsed
,
the
flèches
had
in
fact
been
recaptured
by
other
French
troops
,
and
Davout
was
alive
and
only
slightly
bruised
.
On
the
basis
of
these
necessarily
untrustworthy
reports
Napoleon
gave
his
orders
,
which
had
either
been
executed
before
he
gave
them
or
could
not
be
and
were
not
executed
.
The
marshals
and
generals
,
who
were
nearer
to
the
field
of
battle
but
,
like
Napoleon
,
did
not
take
part
in
the
actual
fighting
and
only
occasionally
went
within
musket
range
,
made
their
own
arrangements
without
asking
Napoleon
and
issued
orders
where
and
in
what
direction
to
fire
and
where
cavalry
should
gallop
and
infantry
should
run
.
But
even
their
orders
,
like
Napoleon
's
,
were
seldom
carried
out
,
and
then
but
partially
.
For
the
most
part
things
happened
contrary
to
their
orders
.
Soldiers
ordered
to
advance
ran
back
on
meeting
grapeshot
;
soldiers
ordered
to
remain
where
they
were
,
suddenly
,
seeing
Russians
unexpectedly
before
them
,
sometimes
rushed
back
and
sometimes
forward
,
and
the
cavalry
dashed
without
orders
in
pursuit
of
the
flying
Russians
.
In
this
way
two
cavalry
regiments
galloped
through
the
Semënovsk
hollow
and
as
soon
as
they
reached
the
top
of
the
incline
turned
round
and
galloped
full
speed
back
again
.
The
infantry
moved
in
the
same
way
,
sometimes
running
to
quite
other
places
than
those
they
were
ordered
to
go
to
.
All
orders
as
to
where
and
when
to
move
the
guns
,
when
to
send
infantry
to
shoot
or
horsemen
to
ride
down
the
Russian
infantry
--
all
such
orders
were
given
by
the
officers
on
the
spot
nearest
to
the
units
concerned
,
without
asking
either
Ney
,
Davout
,
or
Murat
,
much
less
Napoleon
They
did
not
fear
getting
into
trouble
for
not
fulfilling
orders
or
for
acting
on
their
own
initiative
,
for
in
battle
what
is
at
stake
is
what
is
dearest
to
man
--
his
own
life
--
and
it
sometimes
seems
that
safety
lies
in
running
back
,
sometimes
in
running
forward
;
and
these
men
who
were
right
in
the
heat
of
the
battle
acted
according
to
the
mood
of
the
moment
.
In
reality
,
however
,
all
these
movements
forward
and
backward
did
not
improve
or
alter
the
position
of
the
troops
.
All
their
rushing
and
galloping
at
one
another
did
little
harm
,
the
harm
of
disablement
and
death
was
caused
by
the
balls
and
bullets
that
flew
over
the
fields
on
which
these
men
were
floundering
about
.
As
soon
as
they
left
the
place
where
the
balls
and
bullets
were
flying
about
,
their
superiors
,
located
in
the
background
,
re-formed
them
and
brought
them
under
discipline
and
under
the
influence
of
that
discipline
led
them
back
to
the
zone
of
fire
,
where
under
the
influence
of
fear
of
death
they
lost
their
discipline
and
rushed
about
according
to
the
chance
promptings
of
the
throng
.

Napoleon
's
generals
--
Davout
,
Ney
,
and
Murat
,
who
were
near
that
region
of
fire
and
sometimes
even
entered
it
--
repeatedly
led
into
it
huge
masses
of
well-ordered
troops
.
But
contrary
to
what
had
always
happened
in
their
former
battles
,
instead
of
the
news
they
expected
of
the
enemy
's
flight
,
these
orderly
masses
returned
thence
as
disorganized
and
terrified
mobs
.
The
generals
re-formed
them
,
but
their
numbers
constantly
decreased
.
In
the
middle
of
the
day
Murat
sent
his
adjutant
to
Napoleon
to
demand
reinforcements
.
Napoleon
sat
at
the
foot
of
the
knoll
,
drinking
punch
,
when
Murat
's
adjutant
galloped
up
with
an
assurance
that
the
Russians
would
be
routed
if
His
Majesty
would
let
him
have
another
division
.
"
Reinforcements
?
"
said
Napoleon
in
a
tone
of
stern
surprise
,
looking
at
the
adjutant
--
a
handsome
lad
with
long
black
curls
arranged
like
Murat
's
own
--
as
though
he
did
not
understand
his
words
.
"
Reinforcements
!
"
thought
Napoleon
to
himself
.
"
How
can
they
need
reinforcements
when
they
already
have
half
the
army
directed
against
a
weak
,
unentrenched
Russian
wing
?
"

"
Tell
the
King
of
Naples
,
"
said
he
sternly
,
"
that
it
is
not
noon
yet
,
and
I
do
n't
yet
see
my
chessboard
clearly
.
Go
!
...
"
The
handsome
boy
adjutant
with
the
long
hair
sighed
deeply
without
removing
his
hand
from
his
hat
and
galloped
back
to
where
men
were
being
slaughtered
.
Napoleon
rose
and
having
summoned
Caulaincourt
and
Berthier
began
talking
to
them
about
matters
unconnected
with
the
battle
.
