[59], Late that night, the French Corps commanders reunited at the Emperor's headquarters at Raasdorf; only Bernadotte was absent, as he was still struggling to rally his routed infantry at Aderklaa. The manoeuvre of IV Corps was hampered by the arrival of the leading battalions of the d'Aspré's division from the Austrian Grenadier Reserve, which delayed Masséna's rearguard division, under General Legrand. [74][89][90][92], Napoleon was aware that the cavalry charge was a stopgap, so, while the heavy cavalry was busy blocking the advance of the Austrian infantry, he ordered General Jacques Lauriston to assemble a massive battery. After a well-led and determined staged retreat, Nordmann managed to extricate his battered troops, reaching the relative safety of the town of Markgrafneusiedl. The French impetuously moved into Aderklaa and then tried to launch a pursuit beyond this position, but, as soon as they moved out of the village, they were met with sustained fire from Bellegarde's second infantry line. [40], Further west, Maréchal Bernadotte's IX Corps had been steadily advancing, with the French II Corps on their right, but began to meet steady resistance, when troops from Nordmann's Corps decided to make a stand. The French cuirassiers charged Vukassovich and Saint-Julien's divisions, but these men were by now formed in the sturdy mass formations, which were virtually invulnerable to cavalry. [27] After recovering his usual drive, his immediate concern was to improve the dire situation of his army, which was in very bad shape and virtually trapped on Lobau island, after the Danube had swollen. [65], Archduke Charles of Austria was also planning the next day of battle, at his headquarters in Deutsch-Wagram. Cette population nouvellement francisée vint peupler les républiques sœurs créées par Napoléon à l'issue de ce traité, en Italie et en Bavière (la Confédération du Rhin), qui agissent comme des états-tampons contre les ennemis de l'est, lui procurant également de nouvelles zones de recrutement militaire. Further north, Masséna directed his divisions straight to the strategic village of Gross-Enzersdorf, where the rest of Nordmann's rearguard (two battalions from the Bellegarde regiment) lay. La Bataille de Deutsch-Wagram 1809. With the division of Arrighi sent in support of Davout, far on the right flank and the division of Saint-Sulpice detailed to protect Masséna's IV Corps, Bessières brought forward his only remaining unit, the mighty 1st heavy cavalry division, under the skilled 41-year-old general Nansouty. This formation was ideal for fending off enemy horse. [103] The new orders stated that two of Davout's divisions, those of Gudin and Puthod, were to advance from Grosshofen towards Markgrafneusiedl, forcing Rosenberg to commit a part of his forces in order to meet them, while the remaining infantry divisions, Friant's and Morand's, supported by Grouchy's and Montbruns cavalry divisions, would storm the plateau from the east. After a short artillery bombardment, Davout sent the divisions of Friant and Morand across the Russbach stream, in a flanking attack from the east, while his other two divisions, under Gudin and Puthod were ordered to attack frontally, through the village of Grosshofen. Casualties had been roughly equal to those of the enemy, but, with fewer troops engaged, some of Napoleon's battalions needed rebuilding from scratch. Hohenzollern thus had little choice but to order his men to fall back and form a new line further north, sending 5 battalions and several batteries from his second line to form a new flank and slow down Davout's two advancing divisions, which were drawing dangerously close to the strategic village of Baumersdorf. [47] This attack was also meant to probe the strength and resolution of the enemy, as the Emperor did not know exactly what forces lay before him. Bernadotte sent forward the two battalions of the 5th Light regiment, which successfully pushed back the opposition, allowing the rest of his Corps to continue its advance towards the village of Aderklaa, near which they had to stop, towards 15:30, as they met enemy cavalry. Towards 17:00 Klenau had succeeded in extracting his corps from the dangerous position next to the Danube and moved to relative safety behind the reserve V Korps, deployed on the Bisamberg heights. Marulaz took overall command of the cavalry and personally placed himself at the head of the 8th Hussars, in a bid to avenge the slain commander; the attempt failed and Marulaz was himself wounded and had to be carried away to the rear. Deuxième jour : contre-offensive française, MacDonald fut promu maréchal sur le champ de bataille, pour ses qualités de commandant lors de son attaque du centre. He also sent a combined-arms force to occupy the village of Breintlee, to the south. Maréchal Jean Lannes, one of Napoleon's ablest commanders and a personal friend, had been mortally wounded in action and died nine days after the battle. L’armée française de Napoléon et l’armée autrichienne, commandée par l’Archiduc Charles, se retrouvent devant le village de Wagram, sur un plateau situé à environ 15 kilomètres au nord de Vienne. Cependant, Charles préféra placer un corps d'observation sur la rive gauche et se replia quelques kilomètres en arrière. The French built temporary campaign hospitals for his 20,000 wounded, as well as warehouses and barracks, which sheltered a numerous permanent military garrison. The Austrian first line met the advancing columns of Gudin and Puthod with steady fire, which forced the French attack to a temporary halt. [105][106][107], In the meantime, Gudin and Puthod had also rallied their men and launched them in another attack against Markgrafneusiedl. [68][69], Opposite to them lay the III Corps, perhaps the finest of the French army, under the command of Maréchal Davout. Moments later, Zeschau's Saxon brigade, with Prince Maximilian's regiment attached to it, came in support, but these troops had been much disordered when crossing the Russbach, and upon entering the smoke filled streets of the village, they too lost impetus. Des bateaux furent réquisitionnés, chargés de canons afin de patrouiller le long du Danube. Les forces autrichiennes furent préalablement repoussées de Wagram, avant que Charles ne puisse rallier à lui ses hommes et ne repousse les Français. This powerful attack drove Carra Saint-Cyr's defenders out of Aderklaa and the cavalry attack resulted in them joining the panic-stricken Saxons in a disorderly retreat. Not far away from this position, the attack of the Saxons also came to a grinding halt and these men were driven back, exposing the flank of the French troops occupying Aderklaa. This was the major cavalry action of the battle and, despite the fact that the Austrians committed over 30 of their 40 squadrons present in the sector, the French gained the upper hand, thanks largely to their superior training for massed action. Thus, Charles did nothing to support his two forward units and watched as Nordmann gradually withdrew north, towards the Russbach line and Klenau withdrew northwest, towards Breintlee. Bien évidemment, ce traité s'avéra impopulaire dans les cercles décisionnels autrichiens, et un parti belliqueux se forma. Taking some 300 casualties after several frustratingly ineffective charges, Arrighi pulled his men back to safety down the slope and furiously set off to find Davout and protest against the orders he had given. As for the Saxons and great many Frenchmen, they continued their retreat, with the first fugitives and Bernadotte approaching Raasdorf, were they suddenly met Napoleon in person. nécessaire]. Cette stratégie lui évitait une attaque directe en traversant le Russbach, et lui permettait d'encercler une armée autrichienne sans issue. La bataille de Wagram (5-6 juillet 1809) est une bataille de la guerre de la Cinquième Coalition, qui fut décisive pour son issue. À son examen de la situation tactique, Charles conclut que la relative petitesse du front français et de la profondeur de ses lignes permettaient à Napoléon de frapper et de briser sa ligne n'importe où. The Emperor rose early on 7 July and reconnoitred the battlefield in person, noting the huge losses in men on both sides and seeing that the Austrians had withdrawn. Indeed, all Austrian attempts to frustrate the French crossing by using the tactics that worked so well during the Battle of Aspern-Essling – sending barges or trees downstream to ram the bridges – failed utterly on 5 July, because the French flotilla was in full control of the river. [143], Globally, since neither army provided a complete tabulation of their losses, the exact number of casualties is hard to establish. [96] With a part of his troops still fighting to keep Aderklaa, Masséna directed his men towards Essling, aiming to threaten Klenau's Corps, which was by now in an advanced position behind the French line, but which had made no attempt to threaten the rear of Napoleon's army. His troops left Leopoldau towards 07:30 and subsequently deployed between Breitenlee and Hirschstetten, driving in the enemy outposts in the sector. The only French force present here was the 4th division of the IV Corps, under Général de Division Boudet, some 4,600 men, to Klenau's 14,000. The French forces suffered 34,000 casualties, a number compounded by the 20,000 suffered only weeks earlier at Aspern-Essling. In 1809, the First French Empire held a dominant position on the European continent. The exhaustion of the French troops was such that, towards 16:00 a brief moment of panic occurred at Wagram. The church, with its conspicuous stone tower, was finally lost by the Austrians towards noon, when Friant managed to push through and link up with Gudin and Puthod, forcing the three Austrian regiments to withdraw, in order to avoid being outflanked. Command of the French and allied army, styled Grande Armée d'Allemagne, was in the hands of Maréchal Berthier, a formidable officer when working as Napoleon's chief of staff, but completely out of his depth as a commander by proxy. L'archiduc, qui avait anticipé ce mouvement, attendit jusqu'à ce qu'une partie de l'armée française vînt s'établir dans le saillant de Mühlau et les villages d'Aspern et d'Essling pour la flanquer et attaquer ensuite la tête de pont française. He came to believe that his country's best option was to open negotiations with Napoleon but, despite his warning that "the first battle lost is a death sentence for the monarchy", his brother, Emperor Francis repeatedly refused to consider the option. Despite all these setbacks, the army and its officers retained total confidence in Napoleon's ability to lead them to victory and morale remained high. Elle a eu lieu dans les plaines Marchfeld (de), sur la rive nord du Danube, la principale zone de combats se localisant aux environs du village de Deutsch-Wagram, à 10 km au nord-est de Vienne. Bellegarde's good maneuver and Archduke Charles's inspired intervention ensured a totally successful counterattack, and avoided what could have developed into a dangerous situation for the Austrian army. Boudet saw this development and sent forward a battery of ten cannon, with orders to open enfilade fire and thus delay the enemy. Evidence of this came a couple of days before the newly planned crossing of the Danube, when Napoleon's most senior Corps commander, Maréchal André Masséna fell from his horse and badly injured his foot, rendering him unable to ride for some time. This fortuitous event had a significant impact on the attack, as the Saxons in the village now thought themselves surrounded and at once broke and retreated in disorder. [14], Charles's retreat left Napoleon with two options: pursue the defeated Austrian army north of the Danube or occupy Vienna, which was now covered by a secondary enemy force and could not hope to hold out. [86], With the situation looking increasingly dangerous for his army, Napoleon reassessed the developments and probably noted that he was holding the central position of an increasingly curved battlefront. The French also captured a Danube flotilla and built additional patrol ships, which meant that they were, by the end of June, in almost complete control of the river, allowing Napoleon to write in the Army Bulletin of 2 July that "the Danube no longer exists for the French army".[29]. The two regiments withdrew to Aderklaa, where they were reinforced by the Hessian Guard brigade and ordered to hold the position. With Archduke John's reinforcements failing to materialise from the east and no sign of the III and VI Korps approaching from the west to take their intended positions, Charles realised that the unsupported Rosenberg was now too exposed and in an increasingly dangerous position. Les villages tout au long du Russbach représentent pour l'armée autrichienne des positions défensives stratégiques, alors que derrière le Russbach s'étend l'escarpement de Wagram, excellent point d'observation. The tide of the campaign had turned but Napoleon misjudged the strategic situation, thinking that the force that had fought Davout was only a flank guard and that the main force lay before him; in reality it was the opposite. A member of the House of Habsburg, Archduke Charles saw the army as an invaluable tool, meant to protect the existence of the Monarchy. Further east, the still combat-worthy Saxon Corps, including the Franco-Saxon division of General Dupas also moved forward, in a bid to launch a supporting attack between Aderklaa and Deutsch-Wagram. Commandée par Louis-Philippe pour son Musée historique de Versailles en 1835, cette importante toile peinte par Horace Vernet (1789-1863) fut présentée au Salon des artistes français en 1836. Cependant, l'arrivée de Napoléon Ier avec la Garde Impériale changea la donne. Following the Emperor's orders, the commander of the Grande Armée artillery, General Songis and his successor, General Lariboisière, installed a massive 124-gun battery on the island. Orders for an all-out attack at 04:00 were issued at around midnight[61] and Charles's intention was to take advantage of his much longer battle line (around 18 kilometers long, to the French 10 kilometers long line) and take the enemy in a double envelopment. The Austrians were thinly spread in a wide semicircle, but held a naturally strong position. These three Corps were also ordered to keep in line with each other, with the Cavalry Reserve ordered to take position between Süssenbrunn and Aderklaa. The battle here at Marchfeld will decide the fate of our dynasty [...] I request that you march out here at once and join my left wing. Making good use of night marches, Archduke Charles had the bulk of his forces assembled at Korneuburg on 7 July. 2020 - Explorez le tableau « Bataille de Wagram » de Grenadier Labeille, auquel 452 utilisateurs de Pinterest sont abonnés. [42] The attack was to take place against the Russbach line on a wide front, between Wagram and Markgrafneusiedl, with Bernadotte, Eugène, Oudinot and Davout all ordered forward. His next task was to rebuild the army. At this crucial juncture, Friant committed his entire division and, despite the failure of a first attack, soon managed to gain a firm foothold on the escarpment, pushing towards the tower at Markgrafneusiedl, a sign that the battle in this sector was turning in favour of the French. [93] The horse artillery of the Guard, six batteries of six-pounders, eight-pounders and heavy 24-pounder howitzers, under the command of Colonel Augustin-Marie d'Aboville, was the first to come into action, towards 11:00. Encouraged by Napoleon's peninsular imbroglio, British subsidies and the promise of a military intervention in northern Europe, the Austrians decided that the European political context of 1808 and 1809 offered their best chance to retake lost provinces. La plaine de Marchfeld était une vaste et presque entièrement plate étendue agricole, recouverte partiellement de cultures en ce mois de juillet. Towards the end of May, Napoleon resumed the offensive, suffering a surprise defeat at the Battle of Aspern-Essling. Seeing the dangerous situation of his Advance Guard, Archduke Charles ordered Liechtenstein to the rescue of these infantrymen with five cavalry regiments. His only realistic option was to begin an orderly retreat, which he ordered by mid morning, directing each corps along its line of retreat. He could reasonably expect to be reinforced soon and at 22:00, Napoleon arrived with reinforcements. En effet, à l'issue de contre-attaques réussies à Abensberg, Landshut, Eckmühl et Ratisbonne, il parvint à refouler les Autrichiens sur la rive nord du Danube. At first, Hohenzollern tried to hold on his initial positions and his men greeted Oudinot's advancing columns with intense musketry. This unusual formation, some 800 metres long and 550 metres wide, was to be supported by the remains of the Grand Battery, which had orders to advance on its right and open intense fire against the Austrian line. Elle empêcha cependant Charles de pouvoir renforcer son flanc gauche, et les Autrichiens commencèrent alors à évacuer la position, se retirant proprement vers Znaim au nord-ouest. La mise à l'écart du commandement de Bernadotte, conséquence de son échec à la bataille de Wagram, eut des conséquences inattendues : élu à la surprise générale héritier au trône de Suède l'année suivante, l'ancien maréchal s'avérera être par la suite un soutien décisif pour les Alliés. Couper la route des Indes aux Anglais. Marmont and his small XI Corps was the first to engage the Austrian army at the Battle of Znaim and was momentarily largely outnumbered. After a brief exchange of words, Napoleon sacked the Marshal, adding "A bungler like you is no good to me." Liechtenstein ordered Steyer's brigade to deploy in an oblique position and release heavy musketry against the right flank of the advancing French column, while Kollowrat issued a similar order to the Lilienberg brigade, which fired musketry volleys against the left of MacDonald's men, while Austrian artillery was pounding the column's front line. Fierro, Palluel-Guillard, Tulard 131–137 and 586. Il masse ses troupes à l’est de Vienne sur l’île de Lobau qu’il fortifie pour être en sûreté. Napoleon was aware that the Austrians had thrown earthworks between Aspern and Groß-Enzersdorf and planned to cross southeast of these positions and then outflank the enemy fortified line. The assigned objective of this prodigious mass of men was to bludgeon its way forward and take the village of Süssenbrunn, the seam between the Austrian Grenadier Reserve and III Korps. Napoleon also sent orders for the Guard cavalry to come in support, but his orders seem not to have reached them at all. He was thus a cautious commander, never willing to risk it all in order to obtain a decisive victory, a commitment that he reiterated towards the end of June, when he wrote to his uncle and mentor, Prince Albert of Saxony, Duke of Teschen, stating that, should another battle be unavoidable, he would "strike one more blow against the French" but "risk nothing or as little as possible". L'Autriche dut conduire cette guerre seule, mais nourrissant cependant l'espoir de rallier à sa cause les mouvements nationalistes naissants en Allemagne et en Italie. Grâce à sa tête de pont fortifiée, Napoléon fit traverser le Danube à ses 165 000 hommes pendant la nuit du 4-5 juillet.

However, the Emperor countered by launching a cavalry charge, which temporarily halted the Austrian advance. They executed this manoeuvre admirably, with the formations remaining cohesive and withdrawing in echelon, each formation protecting the retreat of the adjoining one. The Saxons then brought up the bulk of their cavalry, in echelon formation, with the right leading. [73], Napoleon, who was by now present alongside Davout, reconnoitered the situation and, seeing that Archduke John's army was nowhere near the battlefield, ordered the reserves back to Raasdorf, leaving only Arrighi's cuirassiers and a battery of 12-pounders with III Corps. For the second day of battle, Napoleon planned a main attack against the enemy left, which was to be conducted by the powerful III Corps under Maréchal Davout, who was ordered to attack the enemy on the plateau behind the Russbach stream, storm the strategic village of Markgrafneusiedl and then roll up the enemy flank. Les combats de rue d'Aderklaa furent un avant-goût de la bataille du lendemain, et se sont caractérisés par une abondance de tirs dits amis, notamment lorsque les Italiens de MacDonald tirèrent sur les troupes saxonnes de Bernadotte, leurs uniformes blancs les ayant fait confondre avec les Autrichiens.
