Joachim Murat was not at the Battle of Schleiz, which took place northeast of Germany's now third most populous city, Dresden.
Joachim Murat assumed command of the troops and began an aggressive pursuit. The Battle of Schleiz took place on October 9, 1806 in Schleiz, Germany between a Prussian-Saxon division under Bogislav Friedrich Emanuel von Tauentzien and a part of Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte's I Corps under the command of Jean-Baptiste Drouet, Comte d'Erlon.
