decisively defeated the French (25,000) under Napoleon. Napoleon miscalculated, underestimating his
enemies.� The French soldiers were aware
of an advancing force on their right flank; Napoleon knew this was the Prussian
Army, but reckoned he could defeat the British before they arrived, then
re-deploy.� He told the French Army these
were more French soldiers.� When the
Prussians opened fire on the French it seemed as these �French� soldiers had
changed sides; a cry of �treason� went up, and the French Army
disintegrated.� Napoleon himself
retreated westwards, but was held up at Genappe, only four miles from the

Dyle. Finally, only minutes before the Prussian cavalry arrived at Genappe,
Napoleon succeeded in crossing the bridge and galloped away towards Paris. See
