The French people should be in the direction of Ghent, how come they suddenly emerged from the eastern suburbs of Brussels? Charles II almost snapped his riding whip in frustration, but then he had no choice but to send a regiment to assist the troops that were ambushed, and dispatched a large number of Hussars forward for reconnaissance to prevent the main force from also being ambushed.
After Marson's surprise attack on the Dutch, he received instructions from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return north to Antonov. Consequently, he made a detour around the west side of Waterloo and maneuvered to the north of the Dutch.
Since Bronckhorst was so rattled by the previous attack, after leaving the town, he gave the order to maintain a cautious formation and proceed carefully. Marson completed a large loop and began to dispatch Cavalry to scout the position of the Dutch Army, who had barely covered less than 8 kilometers.
