The VI Cavalry Corps of the Grande Armée was a French military unit that had an ephemeral existence during the Napoleonic Wars.

The corps was created on 9 February 1814 and General François Étienne de Kellermann was appointed as its commander.

Kellermann led the VI Cavalry Corps at Mormant, Troyes, Bar-sur-Aube, Laubressel, and Saint-Dizier.

[4] After the Battle of the Nive in December 1813, all of Trelliard's dragoons and some of General Pierre Benoît Soult's cavalry were transferred from the Spanish frontier to the campaign in northeast France.

[10] The Army of Silesia under Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher successfully crossed the Rhine near Koblenz on 2 January 1814, rendering the French position untenable.

In the next few days, Blücher tried to run down and destroy MacDonald's force, but the marshal managed to evade his pursuers by 9 February.

[15] Over the following week, Napoleon won all the battles of the Six Days' Campaign, inflicting heavy casualties on Blücher's army.

These troops had been pushed back by the Army of Bohemia led by Field Marshal Karl von Schwarzenberg.

[17] Already, Napoleon ordered MacDonald to Guignes where he arrived on the evening of 14 February with 12,000 troops, including reinforcements.

On the left flank were two more V Cavalry Corps divisions under General Édouard Jean Baptiste Milhaud.

[22] Napoleon won the Battle of Montereau on 18 February, resulting in 5,000 Allied casualties and capturing 15 artillery pieces.

[25] On 27 February, Napoleon left Oudinot and MacDonald to watch Schwarzenberg's army with 42,000 men and marched with 35,000 troops against Blücher, who was headed for Paris.

Jacquinot's division charged the Russian Lubny Hussars, mauling the regiment and driving off the Pskov Cuirassiers.

During the withdrawal, there was a brief panic when the infantry rearguard fled through the ranks of Kellermann's cavalry, but order was soon restored.

As the Russian infantry strove to turn the French left flank, they were charged by Kellermann's horsemen.

[33] When the VI Cavalry Corps retreated from Troyes on 4 March, Oudinot failed to provide for a rearguard.
