He was followed closely by Ney, and, after an interval of a day's march, by the main French army. The left column of the allies was composed of the 170 THE WAR IN EUSSIA AND GERMANY, [Book II. . Russians, the reserves, and head quarters. The baggage and incumbrances of all sorts, which had been kept well in the rear, preceded this column in its retreat, by Lobau, Lowenberg, Goldberg, Jauer, and Striegau, upon the well-known fortress of Schweidnitz, where also an entrenched position was in prepa...ration, and the fortress had been put into a state of defence, as far as time had allowed. During this retreat, the most remarkable affair was one which took place at Haynau, between Marshal Ney and the rear-guard of the right column; it had been preconcerted by Blucher in person, and is one of the most brilliant cavalry affairs of modern days, since the improvement of firearms, and the use of the bayonet, have deprived that arm of much of the influence it possessed in times less removed from the age of chivalry in which it was para- mount.
