To the west of Ligny more units of the Guard are emerging from village as Prussian resistance collapses.

2nd Brigade De La Jeune Garde, Marechal-de-camp Guye supported by 7th Infantry Division, Lieutenant-general Baron Jean-Baptiste Girard are simultaneously advancing on Brye.
 
Elements of the Prussian 6th Brigade, Generalmajor Karl August von Kraftare are fighting a spirited rearguard action at the Ferme du Moulin in order to prevent the remains of the Prussian defence being outflanked.

The thunderstorm has moved on and the light returns for the final act.
Only nightfall can save the Prussians from total defeat but Blucher is undeterred.
Vowats, Angriff, fur der Vaterland miene kinder!

As always, there is so much to admire. But this time it is the explosion above. I tried it once with cuirassiers but never saw movement in it. That picture looks like a freeze frame…and white smoke is so much better for 19C gunpowder I now realise.

Thank you to all for their kind comments.
