Siege and skirmishes near Lancret and Valenciennes observed
Deserter reports describe 13 foot and 220 horse detachments moving from St Semain’s regiment toward Anzin, later repulsed by 1200 defenders. French bombardment continued as foragers moved wagons back. At Quency Fort, trenches were leveled, and preparations for a march toward Lancret were underway. News from Ghent and Cambray note Desertions and shifting French dispositions, with Eugene’s siege plans and Dunkirk threat shaping Allied strategy.
