"Forwards!" he was quoted as saying when arriving on the field of Waterloo in the late afternoon. "I hear you say it's impossible, but it has to be done! 

I have given my promise to Wellington, and you surely don't want me to break it? Push yourselves, my children, and we'll have victory!" With the battle hanging in the balance, Blcher's army intervened with decisive and crushing effect, his vanguard drawing off Napoleon's badly needed reserves, and his 

main body being instrumental in crushing French resistance at the Battle of Waterloo, with the intervention of Blcher's army playing a decisive role in the final allied victory.
