The Surrender at Landrecy 170? Campaign Maneuvers
An Agential narrative details Maréchal de Villars locking on Landrecy and surrounding forts while Albemarle, Savoy, and deputies maneuvered between Landrecy and Valenciennes. The enemy crossed the Selle and Schelde, deployed multiple battalions and cavalry, and prepared to strike the entrenched line as bridges and passages were laid, prompting alarms, signals, and reinforced dispositions along the Schelde and nearby rivers.
