Marshal Ney, the Bravest of the Brave supporting the rearguard from Russia
And heres a little more info about the event itself: Marshal Ney then formed the rear guard while the Cossacks quickly closed on him. He formed his troops into square and, taking musket in his own hand, let them onwards. By midnight he reached Dnepr River and crossed it. On November 21 he reached Orsha and Napoleon.
Ney's die-hards' arrival in Orsha raised the morale of the army. For this action Ney was given the nickname ‘the bravest of the brave’ by Napoleon.
