Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te whakaekenga o te French Third and Fourth Armies ki Ardennes, me te hunga hiko e neke atu ana i a raatau patu patu hoiho, ko te Tiamana Tuarua a von Bülow
I whakaekehia a Lanrezac, ā, i whakaekehia ngā piriti i te awa o Meuse. I whakaekea ano te Fifth Army i tona taha matau e te Tiamana Tuatoru o Max von Hausen; ahakoa i puritia enei whakaeke, i tono a Lanrezac ki a Joffre mo te whakaaetanga ki te hoki. I te 23 o Akuhata ka whakaekehia ano te Fifth Army.
