	Napoleonic Marshals : Louis Davout
		Despite his aristocratic origins, the young Davout eagerly supported the French revolution and was the officer who ordered his men to fire upon the defecting General Dumouriez.
		Unfortunately for Davout, his triumph took place on the same day as Bonaparte's victory at Jena (against a smaller Prussian force) and so the result was played down.
		Davout was again ignored when suggesting a different route of retreat for what turned out to be the disastrous withdrawal from Moscow and, if heeded, his advice of moving through better foraging countryside may have saved much of the French army.

	Battle of Auerstadt : Napoleonic Wars : Marshal Davout : Napoleon Bonaparte
		Although overshadowed by Napoleon Bonaparte 's nearby victory at Jena, Marshal Davout 's stunning demolition of the main Prussian army - more than twice the size of his force - at Auerstadt, has to rate as one of the most brilliant military displays of modern history.
		Davout ran into the Prussians while trying to cut the line of retreat of what Bonaparte had thought was the main enemy force.
		Realising he was in real trouble, Davout initially went on the defensive in and around a small village called Hassenhausen and was able to beat off a series of disjointed attacks.

		Marshal Davout's and Marshal Lannes' corps crossed the river at Warsaw, Marshal Augereau and his men crossed at Utrate, from where we went on to the banks of the Ukra, a tributary of the Bug and the Vistula.
		The marshals deliberated as to whether they should pursue the enemy, but the weather was so horrible and the night so dark once one left the neighbourhood of the fires, the men so soaked and exhausted, that it was decided that they should rest until the next day.
		The marshal was lodged in Christka, a sort of château built of wood, as was customary in the country.

		Davout and I were to draw the Russians into us and the column lead by Mortier (Kevin Kelley) was to trap them from behind or in the flank.
		Davout had advanced as far as the orchard but any further advance would be into artillery on 3 sides.
		Davout and his subordinates did a fantastic job of advancing on and taking a bravely defended Utitsa, and the timing with Mortier and the flanking force could not have been better.

		Luckily for the Emperor, Davout's line of march around to the right would lead to him coming face to face with the main Prussian army, which his III Corp would defeat at Auerstädt, gaining immortality in the process.
		But when, at 1.30am, Davout paid a personal visit to Bernadotte, his fellow Marshal was dismissive of the postcript and declared he would have none of it.
		Michel Ney, Marshal of the Empire of France, Duke of Elchingen and Prince of Moscow, was still suffering from shell-shock after the harrowing retreat from Russia in 1812, during which he fought a series of brilliant rear-guard actions to save the army from 100% annihilation.

		Davout was to Napoleon what Arakcheev was to Alexander- though not a coward like Arakcheev, he was as precise, as cruel, and as unable to express his devotion to his monarch except by cruelty.
		Balashev found Davout seated on a barrel in the shed of a peasant's hut, writing- he was auditing accounts.
		Davout glanced at him silently and plainly derived pleasure from the signs of agitation and confusion which appeared on Balashev's face.

		Davout animated and encouraged them, while the beautiful Prussian cavalry exhausted itself in efforts as useless as tiring, because the slopes to the North of Hassenhausen obliged them to carry out their charges whilst climbing.
		Davout came up, and threw the 21ème into the village, which was not again occupied by the enemy, while the 12ème supported the 85ème.

		Perceiving instantly that all hope of restoring the passage, and enabling Davout to reach the field of battle was abandoned for that day; the Emperor ordered Lannes to withdraw his troops by degrees to their former position, between Aspern and Essling so that, resting on those villages, they might hold their ground against the enemy.
		Marshal Lannes, not surprised by this display of force, gave orders that the Austrians should be allowed to approach within gun-shot range and received them with such a furious fire of musketry and grape that they halted, nor could the stimulating presence of the Archduke induce them to come a single pace nearer.
		We carried the marshal to the tête de port, where the chief surgeons proceeded to dress his wound, first holding a private consultation, in which they could not agree as to what should be done.

		From the point at which we stood, we called it the village of the Square Tower, because it has, in fact, an old feudal castle surmounted by a large square tower which is seen from every part of the plain.
		It is to be observed that the marshal had already at his disposal the division of cuirassiers of the Duke of Padua, the same that was commanded by General d'Espagne previously to the battle of Essling.
		They were followed, though at a respectful distance ; for they had not been forced, and we were not at all anxious to drive them to the necessity of resuming their order of battle until we should have succeeded in detaching some portion from the main body.

		Marshal Davout’s and the Viceroy’s corps, with the Poles under Prince Poniatowski, were successively engaged, and for a long time exposed to an overwhelming fire from a strong body of artillery with horses better harnessed and in far better condition than ours, which were too worn out for manuvring.
		Marshal Oudinot, always in the front amongst the skirmishers, was wounded at the beginning of the action, and Marshal Ney took the command.
		Marshal Oudinot himself, though suffering greatly from a ball in the loins and unable to rise from the pallet on which he lay, made some holes in the walls between the planks, and firing through them picked off a good many Cossacks, for he never once missed his aim.

		General Demont made it clear to Marshal Davout that he would not return to the attack with his Division against the Austrian position, which he felt was too strong to be taken this late in the day.
		Marshal Davout stormed back that there was no position on the planet that Austrian troops could hold against the French Army and expressed his dissatisfaction with the poor performance of Demont's conscripts, particularly in front of their Hessian allies.
		This was therefore all deeply embarrassing to Davout; although publicly the unit was exonerated, privately Coutard received a severe reprimand and Davout demanded his resignation, in the opinion of one of the French staff Coutard had "let slip the occasion to acquire immortal glory".
