As the hour ticks away, Davout's 2 pronged attack on the right, the Russian left, encounters a consolidated effort to repel them after they cleared the steep hill.  He decides to hold his lead elements in position and swiftly bring up his following divisions.  But this takes time and soon the 2 nation's artillery begin trading blow for blow as the skirmishers on both sides do the same.
