The Battle of Champaubert was the opening engagement of the Six Days Campaign. It was fought on 10 February 1814 by a French force under Napoleon I against Russians and Prussians under Lieutenant General Count Olssufiev (1775–1817). The battle was a French victory. The battle of Champaubert was one of the few times during the War of the Sixth Coalition that France was able to take to the field with a considerable numerical advantage. ==Prelude== Napoleon moved against an over-extended Prussian army in the hope of whittling it down by a series of battles. On 10 February, he caught General Olssufiev's IX Corps of five thousand Russians near the village of Baye just south of Champaubert, a town located in the valley of the Marne, east of Paris. Napoleon's French army consisted of 30,000 hungry and tired men, including many raw conscripts, and 120 cannons, however the French, nonetheless, enjoyed a six-to-one advantage. They were commanded in the field by the marshal, Auguste Marmont, under the direction of the Emperor himself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of Champaubert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
