If Blücher had performed prodigies of valour and exerted himself to the utmost in his attack on the French right, Davout had done no less in encouraging the defence. Moving from square to square, encouraging and exhorting the men, he was rewarded by witnessing Blüchers complete repulse; but he, nevertheless, realised that Gudin's division was in imminent danger. Whilst its right flank had been attacked by Blücher, its front had been approached by Schmettau's infantry, which, however, was waiting, before making a general advance, for the support of Wartensleben's and Orange's divisions. The former had at the start got into confusion in Auerstädt, where several roads converged on a single bridge, and it was, in consequence, much delayed.
