Battle of Austerlitz
By 2 o’clock, the Coalition centre had ceased to exist, and its army was broken in two. The French masse de décision swung to the south. Too late, Buxhöwden attempted to extricate his men. By 3 o’clock, the Allied line was breaking up, thousands of men fleeing to the south, towards the frozen lakes on the edge of the battlefield. Napoleon ordered up 25 cannon to smash the ice on Lake Satschen. As it broke up, it tipped thousands of Russians into the freezing water beneath; no one is sure how many drowned, but around 2,000 is a likely figure.
