On September 12th 1815 The Coalition Armies marched into Poland ready to push the British out. Their armies were led by Alexander l, Andrew Jackson, Napoleon mean while Sir Edward readied his forces for an incoming attack from the coalition forces. The next day the coalition army reached Warsaw. Alexander ordered the artillery to bombard the city thus starting a siege.
The Battle[]
Edward's army marched out of Warsaw to fight the coalition forces, Edward ordered his Cavalry to charge from the right but Alexander ordered Andrew Jackson's Cavalry to counter charge them repelling Edward's Cavalry. Napoleon ordered the line infantrymen to fire a volley at the British force taking out a good amount of them. Edward ordered his infantrymen to fire at the enemy lines taking out some of Napoleon's men. Alexander ordered the Artillery to fire at the center of their lines taking out most of the British force and leaving a huge gap in the center of their lines, causing some units to retreat. Edward decided to make one final attempt to smash the coalition lines and ordered his men to charge. His men charged the center of the coalition's lines but were defeated by cannon and rifle fire and fell back in disarray. Edward now knows he can't defend Warsaw against the coalition army and ordered his men to fallback to Finland.
The Aftermath[]
Alexander had his forces paraded in the center of town to celebrate the victory and then had the Polish volunteers working for the British rounded up and tried for treason and sent to jail for working with the British.
