As he left the battlefield he issued orders for all four French corps to make their way to Hamburg as best they could.<br /><br />He led the much depleted V and VI corps north towards Celle. His leading brigade reported that the town was held by Prussian cavalry, and he was well aware that neither corps was in any condition to fight to take the town. Both corps were ordered to abandon all of their wheeled baggage and flee cross country towards Berkhof.<br /><br />IV corps had returned to Brunswick during the night, and as they arrived received Davout’s orders to march to Hamburg. At first light they march north towards Wisendorf, all of the time anxious for any sign of 2nd Prussian corps.<br /><br />XIII corps had already abandoned Hanover. Before down they received orders which Davout had written at noon the previous day, ordering them to retreat to Hamburg. At first light they marched north towards Berkhof.<br /><br />Blucher rested his army on the battlefield overnight. He was aware that Davout had retreated towards Celle and Reynier towards Brunswick. But he had not received any reports about Poniatowski at Hanover. He was determined to pursue the French and prevent them halting and rallying.<br /><br />The badly depleted 1st corps was ordered to garrison Peine. 4th corps would march on Hanover at first light and secure the campaign objective. 3rd corps would march on Brunswick and pursue IV corps. The last report from 2nd corps confirmed that they were approaching Celle, and he was convinced that they would capture Davout.</div>paul lenistonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04290060366482974444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471540472940558030.post-52089375145107542072011-11-07T23:30:00.000-08:002011-11-09T01:43:08.209-08:00Campaign Move 42 – Battle of Peine Day Two<div align="center">1600 - 2000 5 August 1813</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibfYa5fNhfGgAhDtilQ1sZLeNwSnMr1iHc0TxQKLeo1gHsrSvSMbDSq8TVY5JDr4nCDkt5K7T4qVRwWkrARTw114_l9sKDpmTX6ITCIGDNkRvnmkwlBejJiSRQ5fvTvQ1yctf2pGsJtKc/s1600/9.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672525055664735090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibfYa5fNhfGgAhDtilQ1sZLeNwSnMr1iHc0TxQKLeo1gHsrSvSMbDSq8TVY5JDr4nCDkt5K7T4qVRwWkrARTw114_l9sKDpmTX6ITCIGDNkRvnmkwlBejJiSRQ5fvTvQ1yctf2pGsJtKc/s320/9.jpg" border="0" /></a> Table at 2000 </div><br /><div align="justify"><br /><br />The Prussians were badly deployed to meet the combined attack of the three French corps. 1st corps held the hill, but had no enemy within artillery range. They were waiting for new orders from Blucher. 3rd corps had left the farm, but were not yet in position to hold V and VI corps. 4th corps had won the fight for the farm, but were still widely dispersed. Their artillery were covering the same area of 1st corps artillery and were also without any enemy target.<br /><br />Blucher had taken personal command of 4th corps, because he did not trust Tauentzien to handle his largest and reserve corps. They had to move from reserve around Peine to deploy around the farm. Their initial deployment was to meet the expected IV corps attack between the farm and the hill, but the French had moved their attack to the north against 3rd corps.<br /><br />IV corps attack was short lived.<br /><br />A Prussian square held the French cuirassiers at bay. Two infantry brigades advanced against the square, but in doing so screened their own artillery. The square held their own against the leading brigade, which allowed a second brigade to advance through the farm and charge the flank of the two French brigades.<br /><br />The leading French brigade was cut down. The cuirassiers were on the far right wing, and unable to come to their support. The second infantry brigade broke and ran into the nearby gunners. Both the gunners and the cavalry were shaken.<br /><br />Seeing the destruction of IV corps, Davout ordered V and VI to fall back towards Celle. It was too late for V corps, who were already broken and running away, taking their cavalry with them. Only VI corps remained to cover the retreat.<br /><br />It was not necessary to order IV corps to withdraw towards Brunswick, the four infantry brigades were already broken and running in that direction. The cavalry soon broke and followed, leaving the gunners to withdraw their guns as best they could.<br /><br />As night fell both wings of the French army were in headlong retreat. Half towards Brunswick and half towards Celle. Blucher’s three corps were in no position to launch an immediate pursuit, but could be expected to do so at first light.<br /><br />If Celle was indeed held by 2nd Prussian corps Davout is in serious trouble.</div>paul
