At a point 9 kilometers south of Yukeler Town, French soldiers in white uniforms were methodically organizing their formations.
Strangely enough, the uniforms of over 4,000 soldiers on the northernmost side were light gray, a style that was unmistakably those of the Walloon Police.
Indeed, the "French Army" stationed outside Mafnie Town to intimidate Count Radetsky was, in fact, police officers dressed in French military garb.
Having suffered yesterday's defeat, they were no longer capable of continuing combat, but they could still line up and stand there.
This was precisely why Count Radetsky continuously reported to Prince Coburg, believing that the main force of the French Army was ready to launch an offensive on Mafnie Town at any moment.
Joseph used this ruse to conceal over 4,000 French soldiers.
He then commanded the Royal Fourth Infantry Division to execute a forced march overnight.
