Mat's command on the Russian left continued to batter the French in that sector, who also dealt as good as they recieved. However on the French left the tide had truely turned and over the course of the night the whole Frech left wing gradually collapsed under the wieght of Russian onslaught.

Russians attack and break the French squares

Ultimately all French uints to the left of the bridge were destroyed or broken, leading to the preparations for a pre-emptive flight of the right wing. Whilst the Fench had fought valiantly, they were defeated with significant losses.
