Hi Hanny
You are right, and I may just have to read Engles again, along with a few dozen other works.
However, what i will point out is that several Napoleonic corps being 'only' 10-15 miles apart is far. A Roman Legion, on a good Roman road, can travel 14 miles in a day on average. We know this because Roman forts are 14 miles apart. No pre gunpowder army is more organised than a Roman legion.
Napoleonic Corps are effectively alone for supply and foraging, even if only 10 miles apart.
