Some officers of the Russian advance-guard, which was entering the town, were so indignant at this behaviour that they killed a number of them. In the midst of this chaos Marshal Ney had urged onto the road to Kowno all those whom he could stir into movement, but he had gone no more than a league when he came to the hill of Ponari.
