Chapter 323 The Strong Resilience of the South Netherlands Insurgent Army

At half past ten in the morning, the Marquis of Blucher, commander of the Prussian forces in the Southern Netherlands, received a message from the vanguard. They had joined forces with the Alterman Corps and had sighted the Austrian defense lines.

Blucher was secretly delighted. As long as Leao's Austrian forces hadn't escaped, the battle in Luxembourg was essentially over for him.

He was about to order a full-scale assault on the Austrians when he saw several hussars charging wildly towards him, shouting from a distance, "Report! General, a large number of enemy troops have appeared half a mile to the south, their numbers unclear, but at least seven to eight thousand!"

Blucher's brow furrowed in an instant. Where had these enemy troops come from? He had dispatched scouts out to a range of 2 miles, nearly reaching the outskirts of Diekirch Town, and had received no reports of other military movements.
