留下回忆录的巴伐利亚人也不少
According to a Bavarian officer, Wiedemann, after Napoleon's proclamation was read at dawn:
Ornano's cavalry moved again to occupy its position in the battle line. We initially took a direction towards the village of Borodino, but then turned left and reached the Borodino stream that flowed in a deep ravine [...] A battery was set up in this defile and, on the opposite side from it, the 1st Chevau-leger brigade was deployed, adjacent to an infantry regiment from Delzon's division. The 2nd Chevau-leger brigade stood on the left side of the battery, while [the] Italian Chasseurs a Cheval were nearby ...
In a bloody combat, the French swept through and beyond the redoubt, chasing the survivors before them. Cesare de Laugier, standing on a hill at a distance from the redoubt, could observe it all 'a.s 2L spectator a.t a, circus might make out what is going on in the ring below him'. Seeing the dashing attack of the 30th Line, he was seized with an 'indescribable anxiety' and cheered his comrades. Not far from him, von Muraldt (from the Bavarian troops) saw Prince Eugene excited by this initial success and 'waving his hat in the air and crying 'The battle is won!'
Memoirs of Bavarian officers reveal that their cavalry was dismounted until noon and observed the ongoing battle from a distance.
During their attacks, the Russian cavalrymen suffered high casualties attacking the squares. Bavarian officer von Muraldt saw
the enemy cavalry [...] implementing its plan. By the time the voltigeurs reached us, the wood was already in enemy hands. And hardly had the voltigeurs drawn up to our left, within range of it than individual sharpshooters from the Guard Cossacks were already visible on its fringe. As soon as the enemy facing us saw we had been outflanked, he crossed the Kolotcha [sic], everywhere shallow and easily forded, and, protected by his artillery, attacked our front. Every moment we were waiting for the order to advance against him; but whether our general's attention was mainly directed towards the attack threatening our flank or for some other reason no such order came; and we could only wait the enemy, who was coming at us flat out. Not until the Russians were 200 paces away did the order come: 'Carbines up! Fire!' And hardly had we fired out carbines - mostly without effect (as is usual with cavalry) - than we were attacked and overthrown by two hussar regiments [...] At the same time, the Guard Cossacks were advancing out of the wood, overriding both our voltigeur companies, and striking into our flank. Attacked from front and in flank, and on such utterly unfavourable terrain, the many of us took to our heels. For a moment, generals, officers and soldiers swirled around in a single confused mass. Everyone was spurring his horse to get out of this jam as quick as ever he could ...
Uvarov's charge forced Bavarian commander Preysing to order 'one of my brigades to move forward onto a near hill to support the infantry. My troops barely reached it when they were charged by several enemy Regiments' Bavarian officer Wiedemann recalled 'several Cossack sotnyas that made a feint attack, brandishing sabres and firing, against the [2] 1st Chevau-leger Brigade'.
当天和巴伐利亚人交道比较多的是欧仁军和格鲁希，毕竟参战的巴伐利亚部队是骑兵和骑炮兵
