According to Joseph's original plan, Lefevre was supposed to lead his army south of Yukeler Town for a decisive battle against the main forces of the Prince of Coburg.
He and Lefevre both believed the Austrian Army might be unprepared, but at least basic marching protocols and perimeter vigilance would certainly be in place.
Who would have thought that the Prince of Coburg, confident in his vast numerical advantage, completely disregarded these concerns?
As a result, Lefevre attacked them as if ambushing a group of picnickers, achieving a swift and decisive rout.
Joseph placed the teacup he had just picked up onto the table and asked the officer reporting the situation, "Where is General Lefevre now?"
"The General should already have arrived near Mafnie Town, Your Highness."
Joseph rose and waved to Kesode, "Let's go; we're heading to Mafnie Town immediately."
