The result was disastrous, and involved, besides the loss of thousands of men, the burning and destruction of the splendid old city of Smolensk, on the Dnieper, into which stronghold he had thrown himself in his desperate attempt to stay the ad- vance of the French. Napoleon made the remark that the blazing town " reminded him of Naples during an erup- tion of Vesuvius ". 9* 132 MOSCOW During this day of fighting Louise suffered a shock, for she not only saw Henri close at hand for the first ti...me during the campaign, but almost at the moment of recognising him, as he rode by at the head of his troop of Hussars, saw him also struck by a shot and knocked senseless from his saddle. Her own regiment was at the moment rushing forward with cheers to assault a house held by marksmen of the enemy, whose shots from the windows had been a serious annoy- ance for an hour or more, and acting upon the inspiration of the moment Louise fell forward upon her face, as though struck by a bullet. She saw her comrades go forward shouting, laughing, cursing, leaving a man here and half a dozen there ; she saw Henri's Hussars ride on also ; then she rose and ran to the spot where she had seen the Baron fall.
