  Battle of Jena-Auerstedt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The twin battles of Jena and Auerstedt (older name: Auerstädt) were fought on October 14, 1806 on the plateau west of the river Saale in today's Germany, between the forces of Napoleon I of France and Frederick William III of Prussia.
Nevertheless, it was a fierce battle, and Napoleon mistakenly believed that he had faced the main body of the Prussian army.
Hegel considered this battle to be "the end of the history", in terms of evolution of human societies towards what we would call the "liberal democracy".

 Battle of Eylau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Eylau, fought on 7-February 8, 1807, was a bloody and inconclusive contest between the forces of Napoléon and a mostly Russian army under General Bennigsen.
Kamensky was unwilling to risk battle, and continued to retreat, leaving the Grande Armée free to enter Poland almost unopposed.
Eylau was not the decisive victory characteristic of Napoleon's earlier campaigns, prolonging the war with Russia until the Battle of Friedland forced Czar Alexander I to the peace table.

The Battle of Eylau, fought on February 7–8, 1807, was a bloody and inconclusive contest between the forces of Napoléon and a mostly Russian army under General Benigssen.
With the Prussian army reduced to a handful of harried fugitives after Jena-Auerstedt, Napoléon occupied the major cities of Germany and marched on east in pursuit of the remaining forces opposed to him: largely Russians under the command of the frail 75-year-old Marshal Michael Kamenskoi.
Kamenskoi was unwilling to risk battle, and continued to retreat, leaving the Grand Armée free to enter Poland almost unopposed.

In 1806 he was in command of one of the Russian armies operating against Napoleon, when he fought the battle of Pultusk and met the emperor in person in the sanguinary battle of Eylau (February 8, 1807).
Here he could claim to have inflicted the first reverse suffered by Napoleon, but six months later Bennigsen met with the crushing defeat of Friedland (June 14, 1807) the direct consequence of which was the treaty of Tilsit.
Bennigsen led one of the columns which made the decisive attack on the last day of the battle of Leipzig (16th-19th of October 1813).

It is the battle of Pultusk, which is counted a great victory, but which in my opinion is nothing of the kind.

 Napoleon in Poland - the campaign of 1807 battlefield tour
fter the comprehensive victory over the Prussians at the twin battles of Jena and Auerstadt and the surrender of the main Prussian force at Lubeck in 1806, Napoleon marched eastwards to deal with the might of the Russian Empire.
After ejecting them from the Polish capital Warsaw, the Grand Armee settled into its winter quarters only to be rudely awakened to fight the bloody battle of Eylau under the most inhospitable of conditions in the middle of February 1807.
In early June the campaign resumed resulting in the battles of Heilsberg and the complete victory at Friedland followed by the dramatic meeting of Tsar Alexander and Napoleon on a raft in the middle of the River Nieman at Tilsit, which left the Emperor at the zenith of his power.

 Battlefield Pultusk: Background and Map
Bennigsen's four divisions were at Plonsk (Ostermann's 2nd Division), Pultusk (Sacken's 3rd Division), Prasnysz (Galitzen's 4th Division) and Warsaw (Sedmoratzki's 6th Division) while Buxhowden's Army reached Bialystok by mid November and was to act as Bennigsen's reserve.
This retreat was particularly hard and his choice of Pultusk poor, as it left part of his force already blocked by the advancing French.
We have failed to capture the Pultusk position, and the troops of Marshal Lannes were unable to hold their own.

Accompanying it, Bistrom took part in the Battle of Pultusk and then in the battle of 26 and 27 January, 1807, near Preussisch-Eylau, where he was seriously contused in the head and for distinguishing himself was awarded the Order of St. Vladimir 4th Class with Bow.
During the whole of this last battle, which lasted from early morning to evening, Bistrom was almost never out from under the enemy's fierce firing, for which he was rewarded with the rank of major general by the special recommendation of the commander-in-chief, Kutuzov.
At the beginning of military operations, he was at the Battle of Smolensk, defending the crossings over the Dnieper River, and then it was he who opened the Battle of Borodino, where he heroically resisted a whole division under General Delzon, and for his bravery here he was rewarded with the rank of major general.
