Answer:

He lost the support of the army, and without that he could not rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because "Reportedly fatigued and in poor health during the Belgian campaign, Napoleon committed tactical errors and acted indecisively. He also was blamed for appointing inadequate commanders." and "He reportedly rode away from the battle in tears." (History.com, 2018)
