Volume 3: Book 14 - Chapter 16

Characters Present:

Napoleon

Location: 

All over Russia



The French army - around seventy-three-thousand men - continue to flee from Moscow.  The winter is harsh, and many soldiers succumb to the cold, or die by roasting themselves too close to fires. 

Many make it to Smolensk, as a place of hope, but they kill each other over food and shelter, and men start to go their own ways.

Napoleon still issues and  receives orders, but there is no-one to carry them out.
