How did the partisans contribute to the expulsion of Napoleon?

The role of the partisan movement in the victory over Napoleon’s troops can hardly be overestimated. Initially, the Russian government did not believe in the capabilities of partisans. But Napoleon’s troops were very much stretched across the territory. Carts with ammunition, food, weapons, uniforms were forced to travel a very long way. The reason was the size of the already occupied territory. the partisans captured and destroyed these carts, sowed panic in the rear of the French army. After a while, Cossack detachments and parts of the regular army were thrown into the rear of the French. Lieutenant Colonel Davydov played a significant role.
