You are among the ranks of Napoleon's infantrymen at Eylau | (Napoleonic Wars Ambience) 

"Heads up, gentlemen. These are bullets, not turds" - Col. Lepic, commander of the Grenadiers à Cheval at Eylau

The 14th Infantry Regiment, first bruised by enemy artillery, was then surrounded and annihilated by successive Russian charges, under Napoleon's very eyes. This episode was made famous in the memories of General de Marbot5, then captain and aide-de-camp to Marshal Augereau at the time of the battle. The debris of the 14th line, then formed in a square on a mound, resist the furious assaults of the enemy, and wave their eagle to indicate that they are still holding, while asking for assistance. The Emperor, moved by their courage, asks Augereau to send an officer to them ordering them to leave the mound, to form a square to join the French positions, while a cavalry brigade would move towards them to support Their efforts. Captain Marbot rushes forward. He miraculously manages to pass through a swarm of Russian Cossacks, and to reach the battalion commander to transmit the Emperor's order to him. The battalion commander, seeing a column of Russian grenadiers heading towards his soldiers and the artillery threatening to exterminate them if they left their mound, asks Marbot to save the regimental eagle rather than see it fall into the hands of the enemy. He said: “I see no way to save the regiment. Return to the Emperor, bid him farewell to the 14th of the line who faithfully carried out his orders, and bring him the eagle he had given us and which we can no longer defend, it would be too painful to die of to see it fall into the hands of the enemies ”. Marbot then rushes towards the French lines, the eagle of the 14th of the line under his cloak; he will be injured in the melee which will follow and a cannonball will pierce his hat.

I love the sound of the equipment on the backpack swinging about , enjoyed your napoleonic ambience , it's pretty good

I like how it starts with the soldiers marching into battle from far away and gradually the audio gets louder and louder until they're in combat.

You're a French volunter during the Battle of Valmy. I think it should be absolutly incredible as the French charging the Prussian, singing the Marseillaise, screaming "vive la Nation !" as Kellermann says, lifting his hat with his saber.

All the carnage of the artillery, all the shock and awe of the cavalry, all the headless figures within the marching infantry. And the band keeps merrily playing. Surreal.

The mount and blade screams lol

Recently I've been reading the recollections of Elzéar Blaze, an officer in the French army. His accounts are particularly interesting because instead of focusing on the battles and tactics, his book is more of an assortment of ramblings on a soldier's life in the army. One of Blaze's comrades, Laborie, is noted as having brought up the Battle of Eylau constantly: "...he never failed to say, as he sat in front of a bottle of wine or his glass of brandy: 'Ah! We are better here than at Eylau.' This battle of Eylau always came up in his conversation, it served as a subject of comparison, it was for him the superlative of misery. No one could have any merit in the estimation of Laborie if he had not fought in the plain of Eylau." Not long after, our author mentions a conversation with the same man, regarding a very skilled geographer, Malte-Brun. Laborie had this to say: "He's a great bird, your Malte-Brun! I should have liked to see him at Eylau with his geography and snow up to his knees, with his science and no bread, with his merit and nothing to drink. He should have been there, we would have seen if he would have written books."

I can only imagine what it'd be like to participate in one of those battles. I imagine I'd be hopped up on adrenaline, my heart pounding the whole way as my battalion made it's way to the front, the sounds of war growing ever more loud and overwhelming.

I finished reading _Crises in the Snow_ by James Arnold a few weeks ago and I never realized before just how close a thing it was for our glorious Emperor. Got so dicey that he felt compelled to personally direct the fire of an artillery battery to destroy a Russian column about to overrun his position.

Love the slow build up of the music's volume as you're slowly pushed up towards the front of the line, and especially love the Prussian drums thrown in there as the charge happens. Keep it up man this was amazing

for the people wondering whats the fifer and drummer are playing first its called "au pas cadencé" then they play "la grenadiere"

POV: you’re in Gordon’s 92nd highlanders advancing at Quatre Bras

That charge at the end gives me goosebumps, its so epic🔥🔥

Absolutely terrifying. 'Just makes you wonder how different the PTSD hits for the men that fought in that era of warfare...

You are among Murat cavalry at Eylau next

That was amazing. Extremely useful in writing war scenes. Thank you.

Asmr for history lovers

Wow, this is amazing. Really enjoyed this

AWESOME!! This video is made SO INCREDIBLY WELL I subscribed!!!

Wow, that sound of infantry marching... That's music to my ears. The roar of shots and the timbre of flutes. "Defend cette position"! Incredible! Nossa, esse som de infantaria marchando... Isso é música para os meus ouvidos. O estrondo dos disparos e o timbre das flautas. "Defendez cette position"! Incrível!

Vraiment superbe !

The sight of corpses at Eylau brought Napoleon to tears.

Great tune to workout to

I hear Mount & Blade sounds :D my goodness, nostalgia hits.

For some reason I just love the cracking sound rifles make

Bro I need more of these.

"You are marching to attack the French crossing at Aspern" Next?

Very cool! Many thanks

Best video of this kind in RU-vid

Excellent!

If possible can you make one that we are a soldier from the consular guard at marengo? With the march of the consular guard playing in the backgroud. I think it would be cool, thanks.

I was excited then I read "Eylau"

This is really quite epic!!!! Thanks for the upload 😁

Could we get some content about the thirty years war too ? Pikes, arquebus shots, matchlocks buring, cavalry caracoling... Would be great !

Napoleon Empire > European Union

maybe, you are among the ranks of the Imperial Guard at the battle of Lützen, next?

Super!)))

You should make one for Wellington and Battle of Vitoria.

The Battle of Eylau, or Battle of Preussisch-Eylau, was a bloody and strategically inconclusive battle on 7 and 8 February 1807 between Napoleon's Grande Armée and the Imperial Russian Army under the command of Levin August von Bennigsen near the town of Preussisch Eylau in East Prussia.[13] Late in the battle, the Russians received timely reinforcements from a Prussian division of von L'Estocq. After 1945, the town was renamed Bagrationovsk as part of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. The engagement was fought during the War of the Fourth Coalition, part of the Napoleonic Wars. Napoleon's armies smashed the army of the Austrian Empire in the Ulm Campaign and the combined Austrian and Russian armies at the Battle of Austerlitz on 2 December 1805. On 14 October 1806, Napoleon crushed the armies of the Kingdom of Prussia at the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt and hunted down the scattered Prussians at Prenzlau, Lübeck, Erfurt, Pasewalk, Stettin, Magdeburg, and Hamelin. In late January, Bennigsen's Russian army went on the offensive in East Prussia, pushing far to the west. Napoleon reacted by mounting a counteroffensive to the north, hoping to prevent their retreat to the east. After his Cossacks had captured a copy of Napoleon's orders, Bennigsen rapidly withdrew to the northeast to avoid being cut off. The French pursued for several days and found the Russians drawn up for battle at Eylau. In a vicious evening clash, the French captured the village, with heavy losses on both sides. The following day brought even more serious fighting. Early in the battle, a frontal attack by Napoleon failed, with catastrophic losses. To reverse the situation, he launched a mass cavalry charge against the Russians. That bought enough time for the French right wing to throw its weight into the contest. The Russian left wing was soon bent back at an acute angle, and Bennigsen's army was in danger of collapse. A Prussian corps belatedly arrived and saved the day by pushing back the French right. As darkness fell, a French corps tardily appeared on the French left. That night, Bennigsen decided to retreat, leaving Napoleon in possession of a snowy battlefield covered with thousands of dead and wounded. Eylau was the first serious check to the Grande Armée, and the myth of Napoleon's invincibility was badly shaken.[14] However, the French went on to win the war when Tsar Alexander I decided to quit the war and make peace with France after Russia lost the Battle of Friedland.

Minus cry of the dying and injured. Those must've been agonizing to hear.

That bugler @ 4:56 is blowing the "charge" for the U.S. cavalry.

Where did you get the sound effects of the musket fire and what not in the background??

Do an Austrian one. They’re so under appreciated in the Napoleonic wars. Something like attacking the town of Aspern or counter attacking at Wagram.

Russian Grand Battery as 12,000 French Cavalry are bearing down on them: "What's that rumbling noise?"

You are suffering between General d'Hautpol

One of the British would be awesome!

3:03 4:02 imma save this time stamps for no reason at all also this video is REALLY cool

What is the background painting? I can't seem to find it easily. Amazing work! This certainly sets the mood!

3:45 my best part

4:08 aux cris de vive l'empereur !!

You are marching though sortlack woods to attack bagration at Friedland should be next
