Zeithen’s second message that Charleroi is under threat reaches Blucher. With the River Sambre about to be crossed by the French, Blucher has to make a decision on how to respond. Both delay or hastiness could be fatal

Old Blucher beating the Corsican big drum.

Bottom humour on full display in this 1814 caricature by George Cruikshank. A similar one of Wellington and Blucher flogging Napoleon's bare buttocks was produced in 1815.
