The <a href="/wiki/War_of_the_Sixth_Coalition" title="War of the Sixth Coalition">War of the Sixth Coalition</a> engagement began when the bulk of Napoleon's army tried to drive <a href="/wiki/Mikhail_Semyonovich_Vorontsov" title="Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov">Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov</a>'s 22,000 Russians off the <a href="/wiki/Chemin_des_Dames" title="Chemin des Dames">Chemin des Dames</a> plateau to the west of <a href="/wiki/Craonne" title="Craonne">Craonne</a>. After a bitter struggle, Napoleon's attacks compelled Vorontsov's force to withdraw, but French casualties exceeded Russian losses. While the battle raged, Blücher's attempt to turn Napoleon's east flank ended in failure due to poor planning. </p><p>In late February 1814, Blücher's army separated from the main Allied army of Austrian field marshal <a href="/wiki/Karl_Philipp,_Prince_of_Schwarzenberg" title="Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg">Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg</a>, moving northwest and making a dash at <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a>.

Blücher evaded Napoleon's attempt to trap him and retreated north toward <a href="/wiki/Laon" title="Laon">Laon</a>, picking up reinforcements as he went. Russian forces under <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_von_Wintzingerode" title="Ferdinand von Wintzingerode">Ferdinand von Wintzingerode</a> and a Prussian corps led by <a href="/wiki/Friedrich_Wilhelm_Freiherr_von_B%C3%BClow" title="Friedrich Wilhelm Freiherr von Bülow">Friedrich Wilhelm Freiherr von Bülow</a> would soon give Blücher a huge numerical advantage over the French.
