Battles fought during campaign phase
Davout won four of the six battles fought.
However it was not a one sided campaign, nor an easy French victory
The Russians managed to hold the French attack at the border, and only at the very end did they retreat east towards Gera. The French failed to take the city, which was their campaign objective. But they did win more battles and they did force the Russians to retreat. After nine days both armies were low on supplies and in urgent need of reinforcements.
The campaign started on 3 February 2022 and ended on 8 April 2022
Erfurt Region
Wittgenstein ordered his army to retreat to Gera
Davout was too weak to pursue, and settled for holding the border towns of Naumburg, Jena and Sulza
