Napoleon: Crossing the Berezina at all costs | SLICE

Napoleon's army leaves Moscow and begins its painful retreat. However, the Grande Armée sees its road blocked in front of the Berezina River. The Russian armies relied on this natural obstacle to block Napoleon's army and thus annihilate it.
Hit by the Russians, the French had to cross the river as quickly as possible and decided to build two bridges under the order of Napoleon.
