Marshal Ney was among the most inspirational battlefield commanders in history, a born soldier and brilliant tactician… unless his fiery temperament got the better of him. He lacked the confidence for high command, but under the Emperor’s supervision, he proved one of the Grande Armée’s greatest combat leaders.
@@semregob3363 he was. His rearguard actions were very impressive and tactful in Prussian campaign, Massena's 3rd invasion of Portugal and Russian invasion. His failures at Dennewitz and Waterloo campaign were probably due to fatigue and PTSD from Russian retreat.
"Soldiers, when I give the order to fire, fire at the heart. Wait for the order, it will be my last to you. I protest against my condemnation..." "...I have fought a hundred battles for France, and not one against her."
"Eighth Corps has lost a third of their men and many officers. All ammunition stocks have been used up... We have not enough to maintain combat for one hour." -Marshall Poniatowski report at the end of day 1 of fighting. Pure madness.
My Grandpa, GOD bless his soul lived in a small rural town. One day so much land had fallen on our main road thanks to heavy rains, covering it with mud and rocks. Grandpa and Mom had a great idea of what Napoleon endured on that specific day.
The moment when scouts reports napoleon was arriving from the south, Blucher panicked and ordered his troops to cross the river as soon as possible. Lol
1:10 The allies had brought the Peninsular war, to the Spanish, their war of independence, to a victorious conclusion. It had been a long and hard road, steeped with blood and suffering. The alliance between Britain and Spain had been treacherous to navigate, but in the end, both nations fought alongside each other, with Portugal to drive the French back across the Pyrenees.
@@minherc87well depends at the First Day of the Battle Murat came extremly close to smash the allied centre and even capture the allied Monarchs themselves and due the allies would have forced to Make peace
@@generaljeanmoreau6853 the napoleonic wars is so full with many interesting what ifs. What if davout fought at bautzen, dennewitz, lutzen etc., what uf jean lannes didnt die in 1809, what if napoleon went to spain himselfs
Any talk of Napoleon’s defeat in late February was premature. The Emperor was driving Schwarzenbergs Bohemian Army before him, even though it was twice his size.
"Dangers encompassed him, surrounded him, but he sought to escape them, by misinterpreting them to himself" marquis de calaiuncourt on Napoleon's situation in late February 1814
Everytime i hear this music i imagine fearless emperor Napoleon rushing with his loyal marshals and his Grande Armee to face enemies hordes in battle and save another day for France
"Macdonald's giant square was cut to pieces, its men mown down en masse by cannon fire, and the attack stalled. But the Austrian army battered by relentless French attacks was near breaking point. Every part of the line was under pressure from the French. Archduke Charles, determined above all to keep his army intact, ordered a retreat. The Austrian withdrawal was disciplined and well executed. Napoleon had his victory."
I sometimes wish that i wasn't born this decadent generation. What would it be like to live back then. To be leaderss who lead from the front? When emperors and kings were made not by their name or their title, but by total victory on the field. Can there be a greater high then being aclaimed by an army that has endured with you?
You should be grateful you were born in such peaceful times. War is often romanticised but it's definitely not something you should wish to be a part of.
You have the wishful thinking and maturity of a child. My father fought in wars in Africa. He watched friends die in front and behind him as they were ambushed in a valley. He lost his father, mother and siblings. It is not something he wishes on anyone.
After the court-martial decided on 11 and 12 November that it did not have jurisdiction, Ney was tried on 16 November for treason by the Chamber of Peers.[35] In order to save Ney's life, his lawyer André Dupin declared that Ney was now Prussian and could not be judged by a French court for treason as Ney's hometown of Sarrelouis had been annexed by Prussia according to the Treaty of Paris of 1815. Ney ruined his lawyer's effort by interrupting him and stating: "Je suis Français et je resterai Français!"
1:13 [1814] In the battle of Waterloo, French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte suffer he's is final defeat. The victorious powers Britain, Austria, Prussia and Russia meet at Vienna to decide the faith of Europe. The frontiers of the empires was redraw. Alexander add's "King of Poland" to he's list of titles. The Russian Empire, after great sacrifices in wars against Napoleon, emerge more power than ever. But not everyone in Russia is placed with the new state of affairs. A group of young army officers dream a different future for Russia.... Radical reform's... Even a Russia without a Tsar...
"Sire, we will hold on! We are all ready to die for your Majesty!"

@@lmaomf121I wouldn’t be surprised if he wished to die at Waterloo given his near constant suicidal charges with the cavalry.

The Battle of Leipzig !
1:38 At Napoleon's approach, Blucher retreated across Marne burning the bridges behind him.
The moment when scouts reports napoleon was arriving from the south, Blucher panicked and ordered his troops to cross the river as soon as possible.

Europes faith was to be decided in the Battle of Leipzig - the Battle of the Nations
Perhaps not. The Allies could once again assemble an army in case of defeat, but Napoleon had no reserves.

I love the soundtrack used for this series. It does a fantastic job of setting the mood and tone for the series.
I was literally searching this for years. Thank you for finding and uploading the soundtrack

He was seen in the battlefield as he sighted a canon himself, as he had done at lodi 12 years before.

He never really got anywhere by being realistic

I absolutely love this. So much so that listening to it inspired me to write a short story.
Great video! Thanks for finding this.
Thank you so much!
The music that I listen to as my country gets invaded by military aged men from the south.
They also used this in the last Belisarius video that Epic history TV posted on youtube.

When are you launching the full collection without gun shot intervals? That would be awesome.

But his army was so shattered by fatigue and heavy losses that it was not able to launch any effective pursuit.
Can you please find the song played in Napoleon’s Retreat from Moscow 1812 which starts at 18:57 ? It ends at 22:40
I will try.
