False.
Basically there were 2 armies, the Prussians under Blucher and the main allied army under Wellington. Each army was to be mutually supportable which is what happened at Waterloo, although the objective of Napoleon was to keep both armies apart and destroy each one separately.
In 1815, Napoleon took his forces into Belgium after escaping from Elba to defeat the allied armies in detail before they could join forces. He nearly succeeded. After defeating the English and German armies in separate engagements, Wellington and his coalition forces held Napoleon at bay until the retreating German forces could about face and march to Wellington's aid, arriving late in the day, and taking Napoleon in flank, by surprise, costing him the Battle of Waterloo, and leading to Napoleon's imprisonment on St. Helena for life.

Napoleon's attack at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815, resulted in a decisive defeat for his forces against the combined armies of the Duke of Wellington and Prussian General Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. This loss marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and led to Napoleon's abdication and subsequent exile to the island of Saint Helena. The defeat at Waterloo solidified the coalition's victory over Napoleon and restored the balance of power in Europe.
