The movie firmly suggests that Wellington fooled the impulsive Marshall Ney into believing that the English led forces were fleeing over the ridge.. Yet when the massive French charge surmounts the ridge they are faced by well disciplined redcoats in unbreakable squares so the charge is a complete disaster.

L'on sait que la Bataille ne s'est pas jouée sur le champ de bataille et que des traites ne sont pas arrivées ou non pas voulu arriver où sont à ne sont pas arrivés à temps notamment Puis au niveau de l'état il y avait déjà avant la bataille des arrangements avec des gens de l'ancien régime et notamment fouqué plus un général qui n'est jamais venu avec ses soldats renforcés l'arrière des troupes napoléoniennes. Les anglais étaient coutumiers de cela ils ont fait pareil pendant la révolution française ils donnaient des armes au vendéen qui avait soulevé le peuple pour rester royaliste et on a retrouvé des fusils anglais les costumes

Eylau was a proper use of Cuirassiers - a charge in support of infantry and to buy time. No way cavalry was to be used to win a battle by itself. The bravest of the brave got way ahead of himself here. Weather impairing the effectiveness of artillery, a two day delay due to miscommunication in orders, Marshal Soult's lazy pursuit of the Prussians after Ligny and his failure to go to the sound of guns at Waterloo ...all in all a bad day for the French.

That was the exact position of the guns, on the ridge to break French assault (British practised mobile artillery on the whole frontline, not massive battery like French did). It was testified by gunners themselves, who after firing had to run from the ridge to the protection of the squares behind like shown in the movie.
