==== Archduke Charles' and Beaulieu's columns ==== {{Main|Fleurus 1794 order of battle#Austrian-Dutch army}} Consisting of 20 battalions of infantry, 36 squadrons of cavalry, and 36 guns, these were to be the main attack force, and were placed under the overall command of [[Archduke Charles, Duke of Teschen|Archduke Charles]], the brother of the Austrian emperor. Their mission was to crumple the French right. The combined force was to march at 2 am on the 26th from the tavern of Point-du-Jour (at the modern intersection of the N29 and N93) to near Gros-Buisson (the plain north of Fleurus),<ref name=Gembloux/> where they would split into two columns:{{cn|date=March 2023}} * General [[Johann Peter Beaulieu]]’s column, with 13 battalions, 20 squadrons and 18 guns, would turn south just before reaching Fleurus, and attack Lambusart, Baulet and Wanfersee, before turning parallel to the Sambre, outflanking the entire line, and getting into the rear of Jourdan's army * Charles’ own column, with 7 battalions, 16 squadrons and 18 guns, would march through Fleurus and attack the tavern of Campinaire.
