May 14th, 1693 – Assault on Fort Vaillac
The battlefield erupted with action as Prince Bruno's orders were executed. The royalist infantry surged forward, advancing under the protective cover of artillery fire. General Berthold led the main attack from the west, while Captain Vallier's detachment launched their diversionary assault on the eastern approach.
Bruno remained at the forward command post, his eyes never leaving the fort as he watched through his spyglass. From his vantage point, he saw smoke billowing from shattered sections of the fort's walls. The artillery had done its job, reducing the enemy's defenses to crumbling ruins. Now, it was up to the infantry to take the stronghold.
The Main Assault – Western Wall
"Hold the line! Advance on my command!" General Berthold barked as he rode ahead of the advancing soldiers.
