- Despite his decisive victories over Austria and Russia at Austerlitz in 1805 and over Prussia at the twin battles of Jena-Auerstedt in 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte wasn't able to end the war. In 1807 a new Russian army under the generals Bennigsen, Barclay de Tolly and Bagration supported by the Prussian forces of L'Estocq challenged the emperor and his marshals Ney, Davout, Murat, Augereau, Soult at the battle of Eylau during the War of the Fourth Coalition.

Kings and Generals pls make somthing about serbian empire
Great! My second favorite battle of the napoleónicas wars! The first one being the peninsular war. Will it get its own episode?
ACA KLOKER, will look into that.
Mary, yes, there will be a couple of episodes covering the Peninsular War. :-)
Kings and Generals can you do the battleof wagram
Kings and Generals battle of wagram
The Murat's charge at Eylau was one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) cavalry charge of History ! All the French cavarly was assembled, almost 12000 men charging the Russians at the same time. I agree with the fact that there is no fun in war, but this type of event has some beauty in it. Imagine being in Russians lines and hearing the sound of the horses rushing litteraly creating a mini earth quake (they only saw Murat's charge at the very end of the charge because of the blizzard). Or by the other side, imagine being part of the charge with all your brothers in arms, fast as lightning and hiting hard like thunder !
(sorry for my approximative english)
Isn’t the charge at the battle of Vienna the largest mass cavalry charge?
The cavalry charge led by the winged hussards at vienna was the biggest, don't let your nationalism blinds u from known facts.
But yeah that cavalry charge was fucking massive too
Murat's charge is 12 000 men. German+Polish cavalry were 20 000.
There was no one charge at Vienna. At Vienna, there were many charges happening independently of each other. But there was no big coordinated "omph" hit like at Jena.
Generally speaking, Vienna is super-overhyped by Polish nationalists, even though almost all of the hard work was done by the Germans and Austrians.
@@Erikaaaaaaaaaaaaa those were the skirmishes between the holy league infantry and the ottoman empire that happened before the attack of the cavalry, the cavalry charge was one massive historical charge led by the winged hussard, now stop being dumb nationalist france isn't the greatest country with the greatest history in the world
"At a place called Eylau we experienced victory with a taste of defeat..." said Napoleon in a letter to his wife. However this battle really shows two things, Napoleon's confidence to begin a battle against numerically superior enemy forces and his faith in his corp commanders to ride to the sound of the guns as it were. He knew his corp commanders spread out though they were would ride to his aid as fast and they were able and in this case go straight for the enemy flanks. The Russians meanwhile did the wisest thing and retreated to better defensive positions rather than stand and be outflanked.
Yeah, some Russian commanders were eager to fight on, but apparently, one more corp under Bernadotte was just a day away, while Lannes was 2 days away, so staying wasn't an option for the allies.
General Bagration wasn't the most popular in Russia either, in War and Peace by Tolstoy he is known by the nickname "General Retreat." Though in the end he was proved to be quite sensible
Don Felipe you are wrong bagration was the most atacking general at that time in russian army. He was main hero in borodino. When napoleon atacked russians he said about them that russians didn't have experienced generals only bagrationi whos master was suvorov
Perhaps I'm thinking of Kutusov
and he was Georgian not russian :) yes its true georgians safed russia many times...... but they still hate us :P
"What a massacre! And without results."- Marshal Ney while surveying the Eylau battlefield
Yep, I guess this quote annoyed Napoleon.
@@KingsandGenerals He even complained about it in a letter to Marie Walewska, the Polish noblewoman with whom he had quite an affair with.
@@kevin8712 Napy loved women a bit too much... and gold too...
He could have said the same thing about Quatre Bras.
@@davidvincent380 you'd love women as much as him if you had the opportunity he had, i mean who wouldn't ?
I'm practically out of superlatives that could describe your videos guys. Not only with each video, the visuals are getting better and better (this snow effect was amazing) but the narration also sounds smoother. Respect for Devin because he almost nailed the pronunciation of names of the Polish cities .
That is what we are going for. :-)
REALLY THANKS FOR INFO I LOVE TO STUDY THE YEARS OF 1800 TO 1815 ....POLAND ......THEY ARE THE HEROS ....WOW WHAT TIMES I DO PAINTINGS OF NAPOLEONICS.....SO THANKS FOR YOUR INSITE....
That is exactly how I feel
You need to do a special one about Davout. The guy seems to be almost as good as Napoleon himself.
He never lost a battle.
I think we need to consider making short biographic episodes on all of the marshals.
Please do archduke Charles of Austria too. He inspired me a lot. Ironically, I studied Nappy but then admired one of his best opponents.
There will be a series of videos covering the armies of the Napoleonic Wars and Charles will be featured heavily, as he reformed the Austrian army.
I recall Napoleon saying that he had a very low opinion of Archduke Charles, at least he did during the time of Second Coalition.
"Well are you going to let us be devoured by these people?"
Thats what Napoleon said to Marshal Murat before he led one of the most legendary cavalry charges of all time.
Murat took 80 squadrons of cavalry, stopped. The russians at Eylau, then split up and charged through the russians and Prussians fighting St Hilaire and 7th corp, then charged through the center russian line, then reformed and charged back through center russian line just as Napoleon sent the imperial guard cavalry charging in from the other side.
what a day it must have been to be a chasseur a cheval
No matter what people say about Napoleon and call him a warmongerer, he was a brilliant tactician and strategist. Thanks for creating this video. Hats off to your efforts.
Thanks for watching! :-)
he wasnt even a bad dude the only reason he isnt a hero is cuz he ultimately lost
tell me one bad thing he did to places he conquered
He caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people through his warmongering.
I believe everyone has done terrible atrocities to each other in the name of religion, region, race, etc. Neither am I saying he is good or bad. All I mean to say he is a brilliant tactician and strategist in what he does. Same goes to many of the loved and hated characters in history. That's what I love about history, you get to see both sides of the coin :)
Those 5000 soldiers died in a friendly fire made me sad :( War, war never changes...
Yep, imagine what they felt.
To be fair my understanding of the History is Russian Guns did most of the Carnage, the friendly cannon fire just put more salt on the wound.
@@rcmunro22 Yeah, that would be the accurate assessment.
At least it was freindly
Every casualty is friendly fired. Humanilation should be united, not divide by race, nation or...sexuality.
Another gut wrenching battle of the Napoleonic Wars, and great video as such.
Winter is a powerful force to reckon with in the time of war.
Amazing still, though, how the French Army was able to maintain such powerful presence in a foreign theatre, far from France, under the conditions of a cold, northern winter.
Thank you!
He was able to supply his army (despite the bad Rapp he got after the russian desaster ) because he was very good at logistics, this battle of example he was able to feed, clothe, and expand his army on a supply line from metz , that would be extremely difficult for a similar sized army to do nowadays and whith much better infrastructure then napoleon had back then.
He also created the first hostpital service for an army, he had so much room in it that despite almost 40,000 wounded from the bad whether and this battle he still had room for 30,000 more and in surprisingly comfortable acomadations (for the time any way )
Needless to say a man how was able to march 600,000 men to Moscow whith nothing more then feet and hores power shows how much of a logistics genius he was, even if his ego got beyond even his skill could mach.
"...Needless to say a man how was able to march 600,000 men to Moscow whith nothing more then feet and hores power shows how much of a logistics genius he was..."
Well, in Russia, Napoleon really fucked up. He lost a third of his army in the first weeks of the campaign due to poor logistics. In September 1812, even before Borodino, three quarters of his army were gone! And that was months before the cold of winter even set in (in November 1812).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_invasion_of_Russia#/media/File:Minard.png
Napoleon was good at logistics. However, in case of the Russian campaign he simply regularily outmarched his supply lines and his army suffered heavily for it. He could have known that Russia is neither northern Italy nor central Europe. A more cautious and systematic approach could have won the day...
Most of the french lost in invasion of Russia was because of disease.
@@xornxenophon3652 I mean even if he was good in logistic he can't make mircales, such a long line of supply harrassed by cozacks and with no possibility of local replenishment is not even a challenge, it's a hell, if you add to that the climatic conditions as very harsh summer on the advance and helly cold winter in the retreat it seems that he had no chance from the beginning, probably why he brought so many soldiers, he knew he would have lost the majority before arriving on Moskow.
This video made me play TW:Napoleon more and might work on a machinima for Anglo-Turkish war :)
And thank you for using my machinima as always :)
Thanks for being with us. :-)
Malay Archer from Malaysia I presume?
Syah Nasz nama pun dah malay
Great job with this one!
Play it with darth mod 😊
1807 : Russians,Englishmen and Germans fighting together to beat French... 1941 : Russians,Englishmen and French fighting together to beat Germans.. Time changes everything
woah , I find it absolutely brilliant, your very own way of saying absolutely obvious things with the sincere conviction that you have discovered something.
Cold War: Englishmen, French and Germans fighting against Russians and other Germans
Today, English Germans French Vs Russians. 😢
Russia is superior right now
1:35 Ah, the patriotic uprisings! One may say they are our national sport, but the people of Poznań are known for bringing an unique twist to that tradition. They sometimes instigate uprisings in an actually advantageous circumstances.
Well, the final partition of Poland happened just a decade or so before this battle, so it should have been expected, I guess. :-)
_Sire, if you had mounted the throne of Poland, you would have been killed upon it; but the Poles would have died at your feet to a man_
General Krasinski, adressing Napoleon.
Im a big fan of Napoleon and truly love these videos
Thank you! :-)
The visuals are top notch
Thanks :-)
Napoleon to Murat before launching the biggest cavalery of all time "Vas-tu nous laisser dévorer par ces gens là ?"
And General Louis Lepic to his "Grenadiers à cheval" squadrons waiting for ordres to charge, standing under Russian artillery fire, as they were lowering heads to protect themselves "Hauts les têtes messieurs, la mitraille c'est pas de la merde!" Come on, such a saying is awesomely epic!
@@jephgalland7324 omgg that so epic😧
According to Andrew Roberts' 'Napoleon the Great', Napoleon was so emotionally shaken after the massive destruction of Eylau on the French forces that when his horse accidentally trod on a wounded French soldier half buried in snow he started crying.
what a nightmare...
This battle kind of destoryed the myth ' Napoleon is invincible ' ! But it was a very bloody battle ! I would love to see the next video in the last day of the year ! :-)
Yep, ending the year on a high note. :-)
Not really it was more a temporary setback since he won Friedland and this battle was a tie not a defeat. What broke Napoleon's invincibility was Aspern-Esseling. Not only did he loose the battle, he lost Marechal Lannes, which was one of his best, and he lost general Saint Hilaire.
Emperor Penguin Yes, I agree with you ! But this battle showed to Europe for the first time at that time period that Napoleon is not invincible !
Denis Costiniuc not quite. As I do remember historians agreed that his campaign at Spain + The Danube in 1809 marked his downfall (his first offical failure). In this battle, his army although suffered heavy casualties but still well-intacted, he just did not achieve his objective fast enough as usual. I would say the battle of Marengo was actually proved that he was not invincible since he needed the reinforcement from de Saix to come back and counter the Austrian, otherwise, they may come to a full rout
Godric Alex What I am trying to say is that this was the first time in history when he failed to win a battle, not that it was a downfall ! I hope I made myself clear !
Narration was excellent... Whats great about this series about Napoleon as we have watched your videos on the ancient battles is the speed with which the Napoleonic armies moved. Very complex battle field. Cant wait for the next one.
Working on the next one. :-)
Thanks for this! I'm a wargamer, and just received the first of what will be at least two new games on Eylau to be released this year. This was a nice primer on the operational and tactical situation. Really looking forward to exploring this titanic battle in depth!
This channel makes me happy
Glad to hear that! :-)
I would love to see some videos on Genghis Khan's great expansion :)
A big series on the Mongols in 2018. :-)
I'm impressed by the high quality of your work. Congratulations guys !!! :-)
Thank you! :-)
Awesome video. Can't wait for the next Napoleonic battle documentary.
In 2 weeks. :-)
Eylau reminds the Battle of Zorndorf, where Frederick claimed victory only because the russians retreated the next day after an indecisive clash. Actually both sides claimed victory.
ye sbut here the french made both prussian and russian retreat in their mom
Eylau isn’t decisive but france won the field
Simply Beautiful. You guys are vastly improving video by video. And each new video is better than previous.
That is our goal, thank you! :-)
Man I love Napoleon. Read Napoleon the Great by Andrew Roberts. Fantastic insight into one of the most extraordinary people to ever live.
Yeah ! I think it was Time that made a list of the 100 most influential men in history of mankind. Napoléo was second right after Jésus.
Ruthless dictators. What's to like about them?
Always a hater in a group.
He was influential and brilliant, but you should not call him "The Great"
May I remind you, that the video is about Napoleon.
This was one of those nebulous campaigns for me, from the Napoleonic period. You have cleared a forty year old haze. Thanks guys.
Thanks for watching. :-)
I think you guys will be legend of historical documentary Bravo
Thank yoU! :-)
I love that you guys use the Total War OST 🤩🤩
Amazing as always
Thank you! :-)
Thank you for all this efforts to make us able to live the passion of history
Thanks for watching! :-)
Just have the feeling, that you could use your videos in a history lesson :) great work from you guys ! keep it up you deserve much more clicks!
Thank you very much! :-) More on the way!
Great job, congrats, Kings&Generals!
Thank you!
Another awesome video, I'm from Brazil and I always watch your documentaries
Thank you! :-)
Best History channel in UA-cam!
Thank you!
Can't wait for the Friedland video! (Freet is an anglicized form of Fried; so for me it's the Battle of Freetland).
So, you have basically claimed the battle. :-)
Beautiful video keep up the good work
Thank you! :-)
That snow effect is brilliant :)
Thanks! :-)
congratulation for these documentaries ,they are really usefull ,thank you
Thank you very much!
Very interesting and professional video. In general, the Napoleonic wars that have already made K&G have a exellentl analysis and good animation.
Thanks! :-)
What a fantastic channel! I am so glad to finde it...
Welcome aboard!
thank you for all your work thanks thank and thanks to you your friend mohmad from mousl iraq
Thanks! :-)
حبيبي تحية من الموصل لكل اهل البصرة
I absolutely love your videos and want to see more. One minor complaint: the icons representing infantry units are a bit odd looking. I'd really rather see crossed rifles or something more representative of infantry.
great stuff boys, cant wait for the next video.
Soon. :-)
Perhaps the most stunning cavalry charge in history
Intercepted letter AND poor weather. Talk about bad RNG.
Yep. One thing we forgot to mention - the second letter ordering Bernadotte to attack was also lost.
Damn, thank you so much for the video, glorious editing and amazing content.
Thanks for watching and, hopefully, sharing! :-)
Good video, but according to any sources I've seen regarding the dispositions at Eylau, the lines initially ran more diagonally across the screen, roughly from top left to bottom right of the screen, with Anklappen, Serpallen and Klein-Sausgarten in Russian hands.
I haven't played NTW in over a year, but suddenly I want to get back my hundreds of hours.
I kinda that period and basically jumped from Empire to Shogun. Still, have less than 200 hours in Napoleon.
Great video as always
Thank you! :-)
Rayboblego nice profile pic btw
I alvays learn something new from your videos ,good job!
Thank you very much! :-)
Could you please do a documentary on the Battle of Leuthen? Your documentaries are of the finest quality. Thank you.
We are planning to release a documentary on the battles of Frederick the Great early in 2018.
Where was I all this time not knowing about those awesome videos about the Napoleonic wars.
I don't know where, but I guess, this place is better. :-)
Dont think anybody has ever praised you on how fast you make this video while still allowing quality to be good, you respond to most comments as well:)
Btw borodino coming up in 2018?
Our viewers are our friends. :-)
Yes, Borodino will happen in 2018.
Then Friedland, Somosierra, Essling or Wagram, Borodino, Bérézina, Leipzig and Waterloo I suppose.
Awesome, great thing to wake up to on a Sun! Napoleon to boot!
Glad, you are enjoying it. :-)
Satisfactory.
You are not too bad yourself. :-)
*bends knee*
Excellent! Well done!
Thank you very much! :-)
Battle of River Trebia maybe? Keep up the good work :)
Will need to think about it. :-) Many other youtubers recreated the Punic Wars. We will need to decide if there is something unsaid left there. :-)
Thanks for the artwork, very good job.
+Bazarov the Nihilist thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching!
So glad found this channel great videos
We are glad you have found us. :-)
Love the Mongolian stuff Conn Iggulden has great books about it well worth a read there are 5 books brilliant
93k !!?? 93K SUBSCRIBERS!!!!! Something feels wrong youtube

We will get there. :-)

Well, Your map shows Grodno and Białystok in the wrong places but I assume it's made that way to show movement of the forces better. But for me it is still confusing seeing Białystok far east in modern day Belarus :)
geprion Also Warsaw is shown way too much to the south.
You guys are correct. Sometimes, you need to make minor adjustments to fit every army and corp.
Kings and Generals Perfectly understandable. Don't get me wrong, I loved the documentary. I feel like I learn more from these than from most of history books. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Łukasz!
Yup, I agree that Your content is still awesome and very much needed :)
My favorite channel in UA-cam👍👏
Thank you! :-)
BEST EVER PLEASE DO ALL OF NAPOLEONS BATTLES ......THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING.....I WOULD BUY THAT....
We will. :-) Thank you!
hi, its master assassin in a second user of mine (my pc broke down) and I missed a few videos, but im glad that your quality is improving everyday
Thank you! :-) Losing your PC can be painful...
+Kings and Generals indeed it is painful, and I was just trying out ck2 (i need tips with it atm) before it broke down
Brilliant stuff, KAG.
Thank you! :-) There are more Napoleonic videos on the way!
Wow.. I'm from Bialystok and i must say, your pronunciation my city's name is on point.. Great video :-)
Hey, we got one right! :-)
Very good documentary as always.Will you make a video about the battle of Leipzig and Borodino?
Yes, we will. :-)
Kings and Generals q
I'm more than glad i'm excited to hear about it
Nicely done! I hope you eventually do a series on the American Civil War.
Thank you! Yes, we are planning a series on the American History.
Maybe one day, can you do the battles of the Three Kingdoms Era of Ancient China? It would be interesting to learn about another great theater of war (we are quite familiar with the European ones) especially in terms of tactics, technology, and military philosophies and strategies.
Yeah, we have plans to expand our geography. There will be documentaries on the Chinese history.
These are great videos! Thanks K & G!
Your channel is so much like Epic history Tv I love it!!!!!! Been studying Napoleon for a few months now watched all of Epic History Tv's vids so I shall do the same with Yours lol
thanks you so much for these video
Very good video thanks by your work.
Thanks for watching and, please, consider sharing. :-)
Another great video again.
Thank you! :-)
" Nous laisseras-tu dévorer par ces gens-là ? "
Avain good video thanks
Thank you!
This was quite the interesting video to watch. Napoleon won a hallow victory here. But later won big. My compliments to those who made this video a reality.
Kings and general here is your fan from Pakistan. You are doing an amazing job through your channel to educate people around the world. I would like to know which software you use in making of your videos.
Thank you very much! We use GIMP, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects.
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers
Thank you very much!
It's interesting how, despite Bayonets, despite bullets making armor useless, Cavalry were STILL capable of pushing back infantry in a frontal charge at this time.
The horses were still faster than reloading the musket. :-) And armies stopped using the pikemen, as they were mostly useless.
Keep up the great work
Thanks, we will!
Thank you
Thank you for watching! :-)
One of the few battles Epic History TV didn't cover in their own Napoleon series. Thankfully K&G is here to pick up the slack ;)
Very interesting, you could aso feature the siege of Lisbon which is too rather interesting. good job
Hi. Which siege of Lisbon are you referring to?
hey, there were two sieges, one in 1147 where the Portuguese with the help of the 2nd crusade trying to conquer the city of Lisbon from the Moors, and the other which in my opinion is more interesting is the one in 1384 when Portugal was in a civil war and Castille used this weakens to invade and siege the capital for 4 months. Castile had the numbers but still wasn't able to conquer the city which is interesting! Continue with the good, work! cheers
We will look into that. :-)
"the winter was too harsh"...Nappy should have taken that lesson to heart.
Awesome video with epic music
The snow is pretty (hoping for white christmas) :)
Same here. :-)
Kings and Generals isn't in Canada most time of winter snow?
It should be. :-) There is some snow on the ground, but nothing major.
Kings and Generals Okay :-D
Great videos !
Thank you!
Love the ingame videos could you maybe add some video shots that lines are firing at each other
Yes, that would work. :-)
Kings and Generals thanks for your reply, keep up the good work :-)
liked and subscribed.😃😃😃😄😄
Thank you! :-)
Good Job!
Thanks! :-)
Thank you .
Can't wait for the British action in Spain :D still a few in commentary years away.
Yeah, it will happen in 2018, but not sure when exactly. :-)
Yeah, the Peninsular War is probably the most interesting part of the Napoleonic Wars.
We will have 2 or 3 videos covering the Peninsular War.
I am hyped already ;)
A lot of our first exposure to this period is likely Sharpe.
Excellent animations history war's.
Thank you!
Marshall Davout is so underrated !
What great maneuvering by Bennigsen. Fantastic understanding of the need to delay Napoleon through combat and support his ally by fighting a battle where the goal is to exhaust the enemy, not destroy him (frankly impossible against the Grand Armee at this point in the respective army's developments).
Unfortunately, he throws it all away with a reckless gamble at Friedland. Maybe he got cocky after this battle. Who knows...
It is fascinating watching the impact of the corps system on campaigns from this period. I should really study up on when the idea of corps became implemented by armies other than the French.
At Friedland, Bennigsen forgot two things he brilliantly used at Eylau : the defensive and Bagration. Instead of forcing the French to deploy repeatedly while harrassing them with Russia's best general, he himself was lured in a vulnerable position by Lannes.
The thumbnail got Barclay like "why couldn't we be more cautious!?!?"
Great job , expecting some genghis khan and attila campaigns From you also
Planned for 2018.
Kings and Generals Cool
