The Battle of Ligny (June 16, 1815) saw Napoleon Bonaparte's French army (around 71,000 men) clash with Prussian forces (84,000) led by Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher near the Ligny brook in Belgium. Napoleon launched fierce assaults on Prussian-held villages like Saint-Amand and Ligny after an artillery barrage, with intense house-to-house fighting. By evening, the Imperial Guard and cavalry broke the Prussian center, forcing Blücher to retreat after heavy losses—16,000 Prussians vs. 11,500 French—marking Napoleon's final battlefield victory before Waterloo, though Prussians escaped intact.
