Why was napoleons delay of the retreat from moscow such a great mistake?

Napoleon's delay in retreating from Moscow in 1812 proved disastrous because it exposed his army to the harsh Russian winter and relentless attacks from Russian forces. The longer his troops remained in Moscow, the more vulnerable they became to starvation, disease, and demoralization. Ultimately, this decision led to the catastrophic loss of the Grand Army, significantly weakening Napoleon's military power and contributing to his downfall. The delay allowed the Russians to regroup and launch effective counteroffensives, sealing Napoleon's fate in the campaign.
