couraged, it was with joy that he threw
himself against the regiment of Cos
sacks, who with their sabers were cut
ting down the army of Augereau.
The snow ceased, and one could con-
template, in all its horror, this immense
plain covered with the dead, the dying
and the wounded, the blood making
horrible spots on the white uniforms of
the French soldiers
The meeting of the two bodies of
cavalry was terrible. Calviniac show
ing an impetuosity and an assurance
which astonished his comrades, struck
most formidable blows, overthrowing
all obstacles. The Cossacks were soon
dispersed or rendered unfit for battle.
Then the Russians, in order to delay
the victorious cavaliers. hurled again
their bullets and shot into the melee,
without caring for their own. Grouchy
fell, his horse having been pierced by
a ball. Calviniac dashed in, released
his general. who happily was not
wounded, and gave him his own horse,
then. bestriding . horse without a mas
ter. he rushed again into the fight At
