Map 45. Battle <strong>of</strong> Friedland, 14 June 1807<br />
421
Never was resolution more heroic or patience more exemplary than that now displayed by <strong>the</strong> Russians – never was a sacrifice <strong>of</strong> such courage more to be deplored. Brave Russians! You indeed, exulting in <strong>the</strong> execution <strong>of</strong> your mandates, mourned not devotion so fatal, but <strong>the</strong> hearts <strong>of</strong> your friends overflowed with <strong>the</strong> bitterest gall <strong>of</strong> affliction. 222 Realizing <strong>the</strong> utter futility <strong>of</strong> his orders, Bagration finally fell back to Friedland, Senarmont moved his guns to within 60 paces <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Russian positions. A contemporary described this carnage, “Senarmont’s and Ney’s artillery sowed terror and death amongst <strong>the</strong> batta<strong>lion</strong>s and squadrons <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> enemy, which, with backs to <strong>the</strong> town, to <strong>the</strong> river, or to <strong>the</strong> brook, knew not by which way to escape from destruction.” 223 Although suffering appalling casualties, Bagration was expected to cover <strong>the</strong> withdrawal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>army</strong>. His troops were already in confusion and many <strong>of</strong>ficers, including Baggovut and Markov, were wounded. Bagration tried in vain to revive his forces. He drew his sword and shouted to his soldiers to fight as <strong>the</strong>y did under Suvorov in Italy. 224 Moscow Grenadier Regiment rallied around him but was driven back. By 8:00 p.m. Bagration withdrew into Friedland and had <strong>the</strong> houses in <strong>the</strong> sou<strong>the</strong>rn suburbs set on fire to slow down <strong>the</strong> French. At <strong>the</strong> same time, as he approached <strong>the</strong> river, Prince Peter found <strong>the</strong> bridges already ignited by <strong>the</strong> Russians. 225 222 Wilson, Brief Remarks, 157. 223 Jomini, Vie de Napoleon, II, 419. 224 Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky, Campaigns <strong>of</strong> 1806-1807, 333. 225 According to Yermolov, <strong>the</strong> bridges were set on fire by a young adjutant, who delivered “erroneous message to <strong>the</strong> chief <strong>of</strong> bridges.” Petre and Höpfner argued that “<strong>the</strong> flames had spread to <strong>the</strong> bridges” from <strong>the</strong> houses Bagration set on fire. Jomini claimed Bagration fired <strong>the</strong> bridges after crossing <strong>the</strong>m.
