Dokhturov without enough forces to attack the heart of the Empire, he retired in Bulgaria and then abandoned as well, to return to Serbia.
Germany
Meanwhile, the armies in Western Europe were not left with nothing. All enemies of the Russians had reorganized their managers and the organization, adopting, as already mentioned, the organization corps and improving logistics.
On 2 March 1810, a ceasefire was signed between France, Granada, the UK and Sweden, which lasted until the Russian threat had been present. In April
landed 22,000 British and 32,000 Swedes in Friesland crossed the Kattegat to join the garrison remained in Denmark. Soon after, the French returned to the attack and grenadine.
The march was fast in the early days: Kutuzov, surrounded, abandoned the regions immediately adjacent to those occupied by the enemy and moved east, leaving Saxony to his fate.
The Saxon army attempted a last defense, which was easily won. British and Swedes from the north German allies were right to Kutuzov, France and Granada took up the occupied territories last year by the Russians. However, Kutuzov's army intercepted Swedish, which was the fastest, the Goldberger See in Mecklenburg and defeated, regaining Schwerin and causing the British to stop.
Again, the Allied advance slowed, in this case because they had to re-occupy virtually all the territories lost; Granada's army entered Austria and Nasr divided his forces, headed by a half in Slovenia and sending Osama bin Bohemia ; the French army instead went compact enough to the east.
Bohemia Osama Bin
, when he came to Bohemia in June, she found herself having to fight not against the Bohemian army, disbanded after the flight of the Grand Duke, but against a guerrilla war began after the proclamation of the republic. The pro-Russian factions, armed excellently during the occupation, the resistance began with an attack on the new interior minister. Having failed, they went down in guerrilla warfare itself, usually against the Republicans collaborators (being also a democratic but pro-Russian faction), sometimes attacking the army grenadine.
The general, according to the orders received, leaving 5000 men and proceeded north. This force was engaged almost to the end of the war to fight stiff resistance, due to the fact that General Mexien supported the German Bohemians, the faction that was richer and therefore more throat to the other in their claims to power.
Hungary
Nasr army attacked Slovenia together with Veneto and Emilia led by Adolfo d'Este, capturing Maribor and then defeating the Russians in Celje. Nasr went on to Hungary, while Adolph walked to Dalmatia, where he met with the forces of Hungarian king, who had been trapped in that region. However, even the anti-laszlisti were well organized and armed the guerrillas used to slow the Andalusian kings, while Dokhturov quickly returned north, leaving only two corps to defend the southern Balkans. Against all odds, in August, the Russians stopped the offensive, with the help of their partisans, only losing the Carpathian plain north-western Croatia and western Bosnia.
Eastern Europe
Kutuzov had defeated the Swedes and the British stopped, but she was forced to retire, to meet up with reinforcements coming from Belarus.
In July, only now the Prussian-Brandenburg was still in the hands of the Tsar. But the armies were scattered in the advance, so Kutuzov went to the attack, again beating the Swedes, and then re-Anhalt and defeat in the Franco-British army who had just finished the siege Magdeburg. The ongoing skirmishes
it referred to his enemies allowed him to remain in Prussia until October, despite losing many miles of territory (and Berlin in September).
But the arrival of three army corps reinforced Kutuzov allowed to defeat the enemy in the bloody battle of Chodzież, after which he returned to Prussia and forced opponents to stop and regroup. Winter comes, they stopped operations.
Balkans
To the south, until September 1810, Bulgaria was occupied by the Russians as the main effort was to arm and train, according to the standards desired by the Sultan, the thousands of recruits from the east. In September, then the army clashed against the army of Putschoff, winning, and these retired in Wallachia, leaving it up to the new Balkan states to contend with former bosses.
But even in this case, the resistance of the separatists (favored by zero tolerance of the Ottomans) to commit the allies until 1811 forwarded. Hajduk's practically neutralized the force of the weapon in the Balkans, by preventing the encirclement of Dokhturov.
's defeat Dokhturov
Finally, there was reason for the Russian firm in February 1811.
While other theaters in the country were already finished, Dokhturov want to take advantage of the uprising of Szeged to attack Nasr. The army
meeting the Russian Granadina north of Szeged dawn on February 3. Dokhturov available to local conscripts and 41,000 Russians, most anti-laszlisti 6000. Nasr instead had 36,000 veterans of campaigns in Germany, 2000 and 14000 riders Tunisian Hungarians.
The battle took place during a heavy snowfall and because of her sides meant that the Hungarians found themselves face to face, plus the anti-laszlisti had ocher uniforms of the regular army, with only a white handkerchief around his neck to stand out. In the woods on the left side, the battle remained static for several hours, a few discharge of musketry, confused orders and attacks with cold steel of the few times we differed, and the rest of the battle proceeded with difficulty.
After the pressing demands of Béla, Nasr sent the Guard on the left flank, where he managed to escape the pro-Russian (many reports speak of friendly fire) and then defeated the Russian cavalry grenadine, allowing the encirclement of the Russians, that had to fall back on the lake Fehértó. Nasr, taking advantage of the presence of batteries riding facilities, completed the massacre by bombing the frozen lake. Two days later, hunted by the Andalusian cavalry, the army of Dokhturov surrendered with the honors of war.
