As the reserve Prussian Cavalry and the Hilde Cavalry Camp charged with covering the right flank of the artillery quickly received their orders, they swiftly began to assemble their ranks, preparing to annihilate the group of daring French Cavalry Artillerymen who had brazenly advanced to the forefront of both armies' battle lines.
Meanwhile, the French Cavalry Artillery Barracks had completed their firing preparations, the horses had been driven a hundred meters away, and the cannons adjusted for the firing angle.
The orderly officer of the artillery camp ran swiftly past the temporary artillery position, shouting loudly, "Solid shot. Prepare to adjust fire!"
The gunners skillfully loaded the gunpowder into the muzzle, rammed it down, and then inserted a six-pound iron ball.
The captains of each company sequentially received reports of readiness, and the command flags not far off were then lowered.
