During this man's siege of Praga Fortress, he advised his soldiers to climb on bayonets if their ladders were too short to reach the top of the walls. This man analogized the peasant's need to know how to plow to the soldier's need to drill in his book The Science of Victory, and he was promoted to Generalissimo after a campaign where he won battles at Cassano and Trebbia, but was forced to perform a miraculous retreat through the Alps. He routed the Ottomans at the Battle of Kozluca and captured Tadeusz Kosciusko at Maciejowice (mah-chay-yo-VEET-seh), thwarting the attempt of Poland to achieve independence. He also nominally suppressed an insurrection led by a man claiming to be Peter III, Pugachev's Revolt. For 10 points, name this undefeated Russian general who spent his career in the service of Catherine the Great.
