Whakakīhia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te 18 o Hui-tanguru 1814, i patua e Napoleon tētahi rōpū o te Rōpū Whakakotahitanga i ārahihia e te Karauna o te Karauna o Fredrick William o Württemberg i te
Te Pakanga o Montereau. Whai muri i tenei hinganga, ka whakahau te Austrian Field Marshal Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg i te ope o Bohemia kia hoki ki Troyes. I tono a Schwarzenberg kia awhina tana hoa a Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher ki te tiaki i tana taha raki i Méry-sur-Seine; I haere tonu te rangatira Prussian ki te awhina i a ia. I whakaaro te Austrian ki te whakaeke i te pakanga i te 21-22 o Hui-tanguru i te taha o Troyes. Heoi, ko nga korero kino mai i tana rangatira i te tonga, ko Prince Frederick VI o Hesse-Homburg i whakarereke i ana mahere. I te whakawehi a Marshal Pierre Augereau ki te whakahoki mai i a Chalon-sur-Saône me Jean Gabriel Marchand e haere ana ki Geneva, i tukuna e Schwarzenberg a Vincenzo Federico Bianchi me te Otiria I Corps me etahi atu hoia. I whakahaua a Bianchi ki te haere ki Dijon me te whakapakari i nga ope o Hesse-Homburg.
