It blew us away!

23 July, 1812, Davout defeated the VII Corps of Raevsky at the Battle of Saltanovka/Mogilev, causing Bagration's 2nd Army to flee for Smolensk.
Barclay's 1st Army, unaware of this, arrived at Vitebsk. Their union, again, was hampered for their own good.

In 1804, English inventor William Congreve developed a solid-fuel ballistic missile as an artillery weapon; drawn from an effective Indian rocket (1700s). The British military would use it in the 1800s (e.g. bombing US-towns in 1812-14 war). Whalers used it, unfortunately.
