@Djmaschek: Why these two sources both said the french lost 500 men? Did the publisher got wrong?[1],[2]^[1] Waylon1104 (talk) 00:22, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Source [1] (Chandler) states that the Russians lost 5,000 men and the French lost 500 more. In other words, the French lost 5,500 men, not 500. Djmaschek (talk) 02:05, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
