In 1812, Loison was sent with a reserve division of 10,000 newly drafted
German and Italian boys to help extricate the remnants of the Grand Army in
its retreat from Russia. Either the governor of Vilnius Dirk van Hogendorp
or Joachim Murat stupidly ordered him to defend the road to Smarhon. Camping
on the ground when the night-time temperature dropped to minus 35 degrees
Celsius proved catastrophic for his untried soldiers. Within a few days, his
division of 15.000 soldiers was wiped out of existence without a battle.[66
