Paris Allies Begin Siege Preparations at Landau
Paris reports on June 16 that forces along the Saar and Moselle push toward Landau with Marshal Bezons and Villars forming a large army. They expect a siege soon, not a blockade, while garrisons at Metz and Saint Louis stay to extract contributions. News from Strasbourg, Rastadt, and Philipsburg details rapid troop movements, feints, and encamped forces as Marlshal Villars orders dispositions across Alsace and across the Rhine.
