 | | The corps of Davout and Lannes, with the Guard, crossed the Vistula at Warsaw; Augereau and his troops at Utrata, and marched on Plusk, whence we continued to the bank of the Wkra, one of the tributaries of the Bug. |
 | | The Russians, after burning the existing bridge, had erected a redoubt on the left bank, defended by cannon and a strong force of infantry; but they forgot to destroy a store of timber and planks on the right bank by which we were coming up. |
 | | The passage of the Wkra was carried, the guns were taken, the Russians put to flight and Desjardins' division occupied Sochocyn, where the enemy had repulsed Heudelet's attack. |
