Either five or six. The Count Montbrun has been listed as leading the charge but has been denied by some sources. The other officers were Kozietulski, Dziewanowski, Krasinkski, Niegolewski, and Lubienski. Trooper

Correct, the count Montbrun was there but didn't lead the charge. You got it right for the Polish lancer officers. Please see below for a nice rendering of this epic charge...
