The first stages of Lindenau

The battle of Lindenau has started!. The French and Badeners are entrenched in Lindenau and Plagwitz covering the vital bridge, and the redoubts are furnished with light artillery whereas cavalry cover the approaches. The poor Arrighi is leading the defenders but is grumblimg about his status of general of cavalry, and awaits with impatience the announced arrival of reinforcements under General Bertrand.

Meanwhile, the two Austrian flanking columns arrived without problems and are deploying in front of the redoubts. Several artillery rounds have been exchanged and some guns of both sides have been dismounted. The central column under the direct command of the Austrian C-i-C, General Gyulai, is now arriving with the cavalry of the Mensdorf's Streifcorps covering the Austrian Jagers against posible French cavalry attacks.

The time is 10.45 a.m. and Bertrand has not arrived still.
