The Dragoons formed the shock heavy cavalry, pounding the enemy, while the more numerous Hussars acted as the eyes and ears of the divisions. It was brave lance-armed Uhlans that charged to Blüchers rescue at Ligny. Following behind, ahead of the main army, were the skirmishing Jäger (hunter) light infantry.
