Page "Battle of Vauchamps" Paragraph 40

With the Coalition forces now in full retreat, Marmont received orders to aggressively pursue the enemy, knowing that he could count on his two infantry divisions, plus that of Leval, as well as on the support of General Drouot's Guard artillery, on Nansouty's Guard cavalry on his right and on Grouchy's two cavalry divisions on his left.

Following Marmont at a short distance were further reinforcements, two Guard infantry divisions ( Friant and Curial ) under the command of Marshal Ney and with them was Napoleon himself.

Napoleon was followed by an additional " Young Guard " division, under General Meunier, which the Emperor had taken with him when he left Château-Thierry early that morning.
