Against him were pitted Slavs, «lish, Germans, Swedes, Hun earians and savage Bashkirs, a mixed Tartar tribe from Northern Russia, who fought with bows and arrows, It was fighting at close range. The infantry carried fiintlock muskets, To reload was a matter of minutes. Their sharp bayonets were often more deadly than their bullets, The artillery of the period was primitive, The guns were muzsle- loading, fired with fuse or match. The round ball shrapnel or chain- ed shot carried but short distances. The clash was between men who could look Into each other's eyes, who rode down each other with circling sabers, . In that battle, the first important battlefield defeat of Napoleon, 64, 000 of the allies lost their lives. Of Napoleon's army, 40,000 dead and wounded were left behind when the retreat began towards Paris. The Dattle lasted from October 14 to October 30, 1818. * Now, with mililone of men under arms, the chances of carnage are multipiied not only by the number engaged, but by the new weapons of warfare which turn each soldier into a platoon, fications, may be dropped from air- ships in the night.
