埃斯灵的骑兵战斗真是多啊,很值得研究一下。
利希顿斯坦的那段成功的交锋,指的是对埃斯帕格尼:
In 1809 at Aspern-Essling several French cuirassier regiments led by Espagne charged against four Austr ...
利希顿斯坦的实力确实了不起,仔细查了下资料才发现奥军骑兵在埃斯林有上佳表现,不过卡尔大公的出色指挥也起到一定作用。另外根据这里的描述:http://pageperso.aol.fr/marsouin18/Essling1809.html
卡尔大公的奥军在5月22日9点以前只是和法军打了个平手,文里还提道利希顿顿斯坦被法军骑兵击退追击的事情。
根据违纪百科的资料:Napoleon therefore, to create a diversion, sent forward his centre, now consisting only of cavalry, to charge the enemy's artillery, which was deployed in a long line and firing on Aspern. The first charge of the French was repulsed, but second attempt, made by heavy masses of cuirassiers, was more serious. The French horsemen, gallantly led, drove off guns, rode round Hohenzollern's infantry squares, and resisted the cavalry of Lichtenstein, but they were unable to do more, and in the end they retired to their old position.
法军骑兵做的还是很不错的,他们在没有其它兵种支援的情况下与敌人的整部抗衡,胜算本来就不大。一方面要破方阵,另一方面又要担心利希顿斯坦的袭击。埃斯巴尼是在21日牺牲的,不过死前冲破奥军2个方阵,俘虏14门大炮,他的胸甲骑兵骑兵最后确实被利希顿斯坦彻底打散,他本人似乎也是因为无人抢救死在战场的。另找到这段:The French assault would be by 3 divisions supported by cavalry and artillery under Lannes' command. In the face of this and several French cavalry charges, the Austrian line began to waver.
有趣的是,违纪把此战算做法军胜利,其实我觉得算成平局也应该合理,法军虽然没能渡过多瑙河,但就战役本身来讲结局应该算平,双方损失差不多大。不过如果拿奥斯特里茨那种作为胜利标准去衡量,倒应该算是败仗。其实无论是卡尔大公还是皇帝,都没能摧毁对方军队,也没有彻底击垮敌人,法军还有几万来人没受一点损伤(被隔离在多瑙河另一岸),但也没能渡过多瑙河。我看勉强应该算是平局。 |
