The brave cavalry of Bessières could make no impression upon these small masses. To give more solidity to the column proposed, the skirmishers might, it is true, be recalled, and the fourth division reformed; but this would be a two-rank formation, and would offer much less resistance to a charge than the three-rank formation, particularly on the flanks.
In the three-rank formation, a battalion with four divisions will have twelve ranks in such a column as shown above: there are in this way too many non-combatants, and the column presents too good a mark for the artillery.
