The horses did not have horseshoes which would allow them to cross the ice safely, and the men were not appropriately equipped for the bitter cold to come.
But finally, on the 14th October , Napoleon decided to leave Moscow. He directed Berthier to organise the evacuation of a convoy of 1, injured soldiers to Smolensk, accompanied by men. The convoy departed Moscow on the 16th October a few days before the army. On the 18th October , the Battle of Tarutino also known as Vinkovo took place.
The Russian army had arrived at Tarutino on October , and began to make entrenchments to defend it immediately. Murat pursued and indeed harried the Russian rearguard as far as the outskirts of Tarutino, but was unable to capitalise on his superiority. Setting up outposts in and around the village of Vinkovo, Murat paused for breath. The following two weeks gave the much depleted and exhausted Russian Army a crucial period in which to recuperate, encamped as they were in a strong position, well-fed and receiving reinforcements.
Kutuzov, aware of the increasingly superior position of his own troops, organised an ambush by Russian troops of Murat's advance guard. Although losses were fairly even, Murat was forced to abandon his position so as to avoid being surrounded.
On the 19th October , the French evacuated Moscow and its surrounding area. Whilst light rain and some intervention by Muscovites prevented all the fuses from firing, nevertheless, large parts of it were destroyed, and a stretch of the surrounding wall collapsed completely.
When Russian troops re-entered the city, they found scenes of terrible destruction, as many dead lay unburied in the streets and those buildings which were not burnt had sustained significant damage or were blackened with smoke; inside, everywhere was plundered and many churches had been defiled. The Moscow rabble also played a role in this. After two nights spent in Fominskoye, Napoleon then reached Borovsk.
On the 24th October came clashes at Maloyaroslavets, a small town to the southwest of Moscow. Each side lost about 7, men, and although the French side managed to hold on to their position, the Russians fell back just south of Maloyaroslavets, importantly blocking the Kaluga road.
The following day, on the 1st November , Napoleon reached Viazma. On the Russian side, Miloradovitch leading Kutuzov's advance guard was approaching. He was far from the rest of the army however, since they had marched further south. By the 3rd November , Napoleon passed the village of Semelevo, a few kilometres north-east of Smolensk, then arrived at Slavkovo, where he stayed until the next day.
This same day also saw the winter's first significant snowfall. This marked a dramatic change to the earlier milder weather, which some have argued lulled the Emperor into a false sense of security. The winter of became an unusually cold and bitter one.
On the 5th November , Napoleon reached Dorogobuzh. His plot was foiled in less than twenty-four hours and Malet and his main accomplices were executed less than a week later, on the 29th October , following trial by a military commission.
Thus this event was perhaps an important factor in his decision to return to Paris not long afterwards. On the 9th November , Napoleon arrived at Smolensk, where he remained for several days. The French troops left behind, as the main body rushed to Moscow, had been involved in a stand off around the town of Polotsk. The assault sometimes called the Second Battle of Polotsk had taken place on the 18th October the first having taken place in early August , in which Russian forces, under Wittgenstein, outnumbered Napoleon's troops, under Oudinot and Gouvion Saint-Cyr, by almost five to one.
Despite his efforts, however, Victor did not manage to dislodge the Russian forces from their position. On the 14th November , Napoleon left Smolensk, and over the following days there were a series of engagements at Krasnoye. Napoleon arrived at Orsha on the 20th November. Realising that the army was disintegrating and that his baggage train could soon be captured, he ordered the destruction of his official papers.
On the 22nd November , Admiral Pavel Vasilievich Chichagov, in command of newly created Russian Third Western Army, moved his headquarters across the river Berezina and into the town of Borisov on his arrival there. However, some of his men were overwhelmed by Napoleon's advance guard, so he and his staff were forced to decamp back over the river, left to puzzle over Napoleon's next move.
Chichagov's task of defending the bank was made very difficult as he was unsure as to where Napoleon would cross and which route the retreat would take. The movement of Russian troops from south to north to protect Borisov shows Chichagov's assumption shared by Ermolov and Wittgenstein that Napoleon would continue his retreat along the Minsk road. Instead, when the French emperor went along the Zembin road towards Vilna modern Vilnius , Russian troops arrived too late to regain control of the route, despite fierce fighting from 26th — 28th November.
On the 27th November , 50, men led by Ney, Oudinot and Victor crossed the Berezina near the small village of Studienka; the small Russian force there to meet them had no chance of preventing their crossing. In many ways, the crossing of the Berezina was disastrous for Napoleon, with the loss of between 25, and 40, men and most of their baggage.
On the 5th December , Napoleon left the army at Smorgon to return to Paris. The party traversed some 2, km, over thirteen days and thirteen nights of almost uninterrupted travel. The party departed around 9pm, reaching Ashmiany at about midnight.
Ignoring his entourage, Napoleon pressed on to Miedniki not far from Vilna , arriving there at dawn and thereby avoiding capture at Ashmiany. After two hours of conversation with Maret, talking politics and the state of affairs at Vilna.
However, with his departure morale dropped significantly, and in Vilna the soldiers fared little better.
