What is the question? Is it not written in textbooks even Yermolov words: The French army was smashed against the Russian? That we defeated Napoleon, but he is not us! All this, of course.

For example, there is evidence that Napoleon at Borodino had 135,000 soldiers, while Kutuzov – 120. But other figures: the French – 133.8, Russian – 154.8 thousand people. And what true? And in the same number includes 11,000 Cossacks and 28.5 thousand militiamen
