#OTD 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.

'The Courage of General Raevsky' by Nikolay Samokish, depicting a scene from the Battle of Saltanovka, July 23rd, 1812
#otd in 1812: The Battle of Saltanovka. Bagration sends Nikolay Raevsky's VII Corps to drive Davout's vanguard out of Mogilev and to open the road to Vitebsk and Barclay's First Army. Raevsky fails to break through but wins Bagration valuable time to retreat to Smolensk.
