Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, Soult order to Ney, Charleroi, 10… (1815)
“ An officer of lancers has just told the Emperor that the enemy had masses on the side of the Quatre-Bras; Unite the corps of Count Reille and d'Erlon, and that of the Comte de Valmy, who is at this moment on his way to join you; With these forces you must beat and destroy all enemy bodies that may present themselves; Blücher was yesterday at Namur, and it is unlikely that he sent troops to Quatre-Bras, so you only have to deal with what comes from Brussels. ”
