Battle of Brienne (29 January 1814)

Following the disaster of the invasion of Russia and forced out of Germany Napoleon is at bay. Leaving his brother Joseph Bonaparte in charge of the capital, Napoleon departed from Paris with a small army to take on the converging Prussian, Russian and Austrian Armies. His plan is to defeat each army before they can combine into an overwhelming force. In the fading light and on the grounds of Napoleon’s military academy Prussian and Russian troops under the command of Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher desperately fight to hold their positions and prevent being cut off from the rest of the Allied Army.
