Casualty figures for Bautzen are varied. In August Jomini switched sides, joining the Allies and denying Ney his skills and advice. Following Napoleonâs victory at Lützen on 2 May 1813 Prince Ludwig Pyotr Wittgensteinâs Russo-Prussian army retreated to Bautzen, where it was reinforced by 13,000 Russians commanded by Prince Mikhail Barclay de Tolly. In the aftermath of the Russian campaign of 1812 the Russians slowly advanced into Poland and Germany. This tiem Delmas took the village, was driven out and finally took it for the last time. The cavalry move was then cancelled, leaving the link rather weak. The Allies decided to place a screening force on the Spree, but concentrate on defending the valley of the Blösaer Wasser. Napoleon's plan for the day was to carry out a series of frontal assaults on the Allied position, to pin them in place. The battle would be fought ten miles to the north of the Austrian border, and Austria was still neutral. The Allies formed up on the east bank of the River Spree, at this point not an especially sizable river. Blücher remained around Kreckwitz. Napoleon decided to cross the river at Briesnitz, just to the west of Dresden, where the river curved around three sides of a peninsula on the opposite bank. This delayed the start of his attack. Later on 16 May Napoleon send new orders, that altered Ney's destination to Hoyerswerda, as he was now sure that the Allies intended to fight. In the meantime Ney was ordered to construct a bridge over the Elbe at Belgern, six miles south-east of Torgau, and cross the Elbe there. When this message reached Ney he ordered Victor and Reynier to begin a march towards Hoyerswerda on 19 May. How to transfigure the Wikipedia . Further north Macdonald was able to make some progress, and captured the heights of Rabitz, where he was able to position an artillery battery.

After the loss of the Battle of Lützen, the combined Russian and Prussian army of Prince Wittgenstein retreated eastward. The latest Campaign 1813 game threw up a refight on the same terrain as the battle of Bautzen 1813. Two divisions of the Young Guard, one division of the Old Guard, two divisions of cavalry under Latour-Maubourg and the Guard cavalry were to be kept in reserve. If the Allies defended the line of the Elbe at Dresden, Ney would be able to threaten their right flank and force them to retreat. Napoleon had 119,000 men, split into IV Corps (Bertrand), VI Corps (Marmont), XI Corps (Macdonald), XII Corps (Oudinot), Latour-Maubourg's 1st Cavalry Corps, one division of the Old Guard and two of the Young Guard. Marmont then sent his left to Nadelwitz, on the outskirts of Bautzen. Ney was given a secondary force, made up of the survivors from his III Corps, VII Corps (Durutte's division and hopefully the Saxons once they had been forced back onto the French side), Victor's Provisional II Corps and Sebastiani's provisional corps (2nd Cavalry Corps and Puthod's Division). Ney, ayant marché trop lentement, et attaqué de façon brouillonne, arrive au complet sur le champ de bataille mais trop tard. Marmont deployed north and east of Bautzen, and threatened the main Allied artillery position, although didn't move too far. The Blösaer Wasser of 1813 is now known as the Albrechtsbach. The column at Stockheim (Lauriston) had been ordered to move north towards Wurzen after Kleist's column was spotted, heading for the same place and its strength overestimated. Ney was further back, at Maukendorf and Reynier was further to the rear.

Plus au nord, le 4e corps de Soult est retenu toute la journée par Kleist, soutenu par Blücher. We played the first 'half' of the game on Sunday. That's it. Although the battle of Lützen ended as a French victory, it had been a costly one, with the French losing more men than the Allies, and no significant pursuit at the end of the day. Ney would later get held up around Preititz, about half way between the two, and well on the way to Weissenberg. Ney had almost as many men as the Allies, so should have easily been able to carry out this role. Le général russe a fait fortifier les collines autour de Bautzen : le but est de tenir là où Napoléon attaquera, et de contre-attaquer là où la pression sera moins forte avec les réserves de la Garde russe. Soon afterwards they were joined by Barclay de Tolly, with 13,500 reinforcements, freed up by the fall of Thorn. A letter from Lauriston to Ney describes Dresa as being between the two Sprees, and marked as Brösa on a map from the institute of Weimar (but as Drehsa on Petri's map of 1763, the map Napoleon is said to have used). By 2pm the village was held by Kleist. The Allies expected any attack to come from the west, and had plans for every variant of a frontal assault, but none for if they were outflanked to the north. Ney's corps was given a rest, but the rest of the army was ordered to push east across the Elster. At 4pm on 20 May Napoleon drew up new orders for Ney, which reached him at 4am on 21 May. Even so Maison's division from Lauriston's corps pushed across the Spree at Klix at 6am. Napoleon's orders of 18 May didn't reach Ney until 11am on 19 May, when he reached Hoyerswerda. L’aile droite (9 000 hommes) est placée sur un terrain plat, entre la Sprée et une petite rivière, sans point d’appui, et commandée par Barclay de Tolly.

The battle of Lützen (2 May 1813) was Napoleon's first victory during the Spring campaign of 1813 (War of Liberation), ... which he led at Bautzen and Kulm. Instead he became somewhat obsessed with taking Preititz, as a prelude to an attack on Klein Bautzen, further to the south, which Jomini claims Ney had decided was key to the battle.

The Russians still held the New Town of Dresden, on the east bank of the Elbe. The medical side was conducted by the famous doctor Dominique Jean Larrey, who concluded that the wounds were caused by insufficient training and drill. At the same time heavy French artillery fire forced the Russians away from the shore in the New Town, allowing the French to get a foothold across the river there. On 18 May Ney issued orders for the following day that would have seen his troops moving south, with V Corps on the right and III on the left, ending the day between Zerna and Neudorf, some way to the south of Hoyerswerda, where Napoleon expected them to be. Ney comprend qu’il est couvert, et qu’il peut attaquer.

The heights to the north of Burk were known as the Kreckwitz heights, with Kreckwitz village to their south-east, on the Blösaer Wasser. Oudinot began the infantry attack, hitting the Allied left. The Allied left was forced back, and this helped convince the Tsar that the main French attack was coming from this direction.

Although Napoleon now knew the immediate destination of the allies, on 6 May he still believed it was possible that they would split up after crossing the Elbe, with the Russians retreating east and the Prussians moving north to protect Berlin. They thus strengthened their left wing, while the right was somewhat weaker.. At this point Ney had around 23,000 men, so Preititz would have fallen quite easily.

Barclay de Tolly, who was defending the village, then pulled back to Preititz, where he left two battalions to defend the village. At this stage Austria was still neutral, and unsure of which side to join, so the appearance of the defeated army of either side on their border would probably have convinced them to support the other.
