Description
After Napoleon entered Paris and started the Hundred Days campaign, KingWilliam II of Prussia recalled Blücher from his retirement in Silesia and sethim the task of facing down the upstart Frenchman. He was placed in command ofthe Army of the Lower Rhine and quickly marched west to join the Anglo-Dutchallies, hoping to consolidate their forces.
Unfortunately, the Prussian army was hastily assembled and pressed into thefield ill-equipped and poorly trained. Over a third of the force was Landwehr(militia), some of which marched barefoot to war. At the Battle of Ligny thePrussian army faced Napoleon directly and was roundly beaten, Blücher himselfbeing trapped injured under his dead horse for hours. The Battle of Waterlooprovided a chance at redemption.
