Sledge

During the Retreat from Moscow, Colonel Marbot - seeing that his regiment, the 23rd Chasseurs a Cheval, was falling apart - decided to dismount them, and use their remaining horses to pull two-man peasant sledges easily found in local villages. The 23rd formed up with the 24th Chasseurs a Cheval to create a sledge-borne brigade. At night, these formed squares, which were frequently used by Marshal Ney and General Maison for shelter. Each Chasseur was ordered to have two muskets, to enable them to resist attacks with 'the liveliest musketry'.
