Marshall Ney's Force came up from the  south. and attacked thre Russian Left Flank which gave way all the way along the river until just outside Friedland where it was holted. A second Corp under the Command of General Laude Victor came to the support of Ney's left Flank. Victor also brought up 30 Artillery pieces which blasted the Russian at very short range. The Russians were massed in the tiny village and unable to cross the River received huge numbers of Casualties due to the artillery fire.
