The fighting commenced on our right, where the Poles, driven back by the Prussians, abandoned the village of Mark-Kleeberg. At our centre the Russians and the Austrians attacked Wachau and Liebert-Wolkwitz six times and were repeatedly repulsed with great losses.
King Murat was in control of our right wing, the extremity of which was bounded by the Pleisse near the villages of Connewitz, Dölitz, and Mark-Kleeberg which were occupied by Prince Poniatowski and his Poles. Next to him and behind the market-town of Wachau was the corps of Marshal Victor. Marshal Augereau occupied Dösen.
But if we had known that we would one day be forced to cross these rivers under the enemy's cannon, after having lost the most fearful and the bloodiest of battles, and that entire regiments would disappear beneath those waters, which then gladdened our eyes, I think that the sight would have made us sad enough. At other times we would walk along the bank of the Pleisse as far as Mark-Kléeberg.
