The battle of Eylau, fought on February 8, 1807. After fifteen hours of combat the Russian Commander, general Bennigsen, decided to retreat, but the battle was all but inconclusive and its outcome can't be considered a Napoleon victory and/or a Russian defeat. That especially if we compare the French casualties of about 25000 men with those of Bennigsen's Army and Lestoq's Prussian Corp of about 15000. Strategically, Bennigsen's winter offensive was repulsed though not decisively, and this is the only positive outcome for Napoleon. The Russian Army reoccupied Eylau after the French retired to their winter quarters and was ready to restart the match the following spring.
He hoped to get the Russian army to engage in battle early but the Russians kept retreating until Borodino and then they fell back beyond Moscow. Napoleon was welcomed to Moscow by a burning city and the Russian winter.
