May 21-22, 1809 Battles of Aspern-Essling.
 

Napoleon drew up a blank for crossing of the Danube near Vienna during the 1809 Danube campaign. The river was full from Spring run-off with no abatement soon putting Napoleon and his troops into quite a pickle. The bridges had been destroyed by the Austrians in a scorched earth approach of stopping the French

Napoleon's scouts found a suitable river crossing near Schwartze-Laken Island for boats for 500 of Bonaparte's men. Once across to the island, these men were soon aerated by musket and cannon shot. They were now stranded on the island as no more boats were available from Napoleon's side of the Danube. This plight of his men had Napoleon and his Marshall Jean Lannes exhorting their men to hold on while Lannes stupidly tried to cross the Danube but soon stumbled on an underwater cable and was soon floating away. This goosed Bonaparte to jump into the water up to his waist to try to rescue Marshall Lannes which he did. Both men were drenched and felt like weasels who had come up short in their prey. They both adapted to these new circumstances quickly by getting a party of his engineers to build a vast platoon bridge away from the defending Austrian troops. Of course, they also had to vigil as to any approaching enemy soldiers.

The fighting around the finished pontoon bridge proved particularly venomous and for a time stalled the French advance. Bonaparte must have had some of the fiery passion of his Italian ethnicity as he often put himself in the thick of the struggles unjustly putting some of his command in a cowardly light when compared with the Little Corporal Napoleon.

Battle of Aspern-Essling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The track of the battles resulted in losses Napoleon had often got away from paying in other campaigns. These would not remain unpaid in the Battle of Aspern-Essling. St. Hilaire, one of Napoleon's Generals, had a leg shattered and then died from infections. Marshall Lannes had seen one of his favorite Generals--Pouzet-- killed in front of him and then Lannes himself went to grieve his loss and was himself struck in the legs by a cannonball. The Gods of War were probably very amused by all this bloodshed but Bonaparte must have been shocked at the loss of leeway these Titans had given him before this as his Marshall Lannes also soon died from infection setting into his legs.

If you are hungry for the long term effects of the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte, scroll down in the above link about the Swedish Royal Family. Doubt if some British still can abide the fact that the bloodline of one of the Marshalls of France under Napoleon is still ruling in Sweden. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshal....2F1815.5B3.5D This would probably be quite disgusting to Duke Wellington, if not downright yucky if could see the long term consequences of Napoleon's empire which he had believed he had crushed at Waterloo.
