Besieged Citadel of Yournay Pressed Amid Mines and Bombardment
From the Citadel of Yournay reports detail a night Salley by 50 besieged soldiers, heavy mining activity, and a surge of enemy mines near the breach. Royal forces counter with mortars and grenadoes, while engineers uncover galleries and prepare further mines to exploit the defender’s weak points. Reinforcements and foraging continue as siege lines extend toward Valenciennes and the Hornwork.
