Summary
[edit]DescriptionHolowczyn 1708.png |
English: The king of Sweden, on his arrival at Holowczyn (A), found that the Russians left their former camp (B) and moved across the Berezina stream (C) to their entrenchment (D), which protected the river and a morass (E) but had a forest (F) behind it. Their breastwork (G) was manned with various batteries (H). The king, on the other hand, had placed eight guns (J) to suppress the opening (K) between the enemy's right (L) and left (M) wings. Where Major-General Rosen's regiment stood (N), the king went through the river with the infantry (O) and blocked the path between the two Russian wings (P). The Swedish cavalry (Q) then also crossed the Berezina (R). The king soon forced their right wing (S) to retreat (T) to the forest (F). The Swedish cavalry also forced the enemy's left wing (U) to retreat (X). The attack through the morass between the breastworks (Y) occurred with the greatest ferocity. Finally, as the Russians retreated en masse, one Pole alone (Z) pursued two to three hundred of them, until they realized they were safe. Deutsch: Der König in Schweden fand beÿ seiner Ankunft zu Holofzin (A) dass die Russen ihr voriges Lager verlassen (B) sich über den Berezina strom (C), nach ihrer Verschanzung (D) geztogen, und den fluss nebst einem Moraste vorsich (E) hinter sich aber einen Wald (F) hatten. Ihre Brustwehre (G) war mit unter schie denen Batterien (H) besetzt. Der König liess dagegen acht Stücke pflanzen dass (J) sie die Oeffnung (K) zwischen des Feindes rechten (L) und linken flügel (M) beftreichen Konnten. Des Generalmajor Rosen Regiment hatte hier auf seinen Platz (N) allein der König gieng mit dem Fusvolke (O) durch den strom, und setzte sich im Wege zwischen den beÿden russischen Flügeln (P). Die Schwedische Reutereÿ (Q) kam gleichfals durch den Berezina (R). Der König jagte den rechten Flügeln (S) bald in die Flucht (T) nach dem Walde (F). Die Schwedissche Reutereÿ that ein gleiches mit dem feindlichen lincken Flügel (U) der auch davon eilete (X). Der Angriff zwischen der Brustwehre und in dem Moraste (Y) geschahe mit grosser Heftigkeit. Endlich rissen die Russen mit ganzen Haufen aus, dass ein Polak allein (Z) zweÿ bis dreÿhundert verfolgte, bis sie in Sicherheit zu seÿn glaubten. |
