More problems for Napoleon
The French line is broken!
The Klux's 9th brigade of the Prussian Kleist's I corps has finished the last French resistance in the area, the Claparede's 43th Division. The two French wings, XIV and I Corps, are now separated and the Prussian tide is menacing to break throught. The last and desperate Napoleon's trick has been to send the Cassagne's 1st Division from the Lobau's I Corps from his left flank, in a last attempt to delay the Prussian advance in the center.
To be continued!
Glad to see that the Emperor is now safely back on that little hill. I'm sure things would be going better if only the Guard were present!
