Editing Battle of Fleurus (1794) (section)

=== Quosdanovich's attack ===
Opposite the French left centre, Quosdanovich's column marched from Nivelles on the evening of 25 June, passed through Quatre-Bras in the night, and seized Frasne at daybreak on the 26th from a detachment of Morlot's division.{{sfn|Dupuis|1907|p=344}} 

Advancing through Frasne, Quosdanovich deployed his column at 4&nbsp;am on the Grandchamp, a plain that lay between Frasne and Mellet. However, units of Dubois’ cavalry division, in their element on the open plain, managed to delay Quosdanovich for 3 hours while Morlot deployed his division behind them, around the village of Mellet.{{sfn|Dupuis|1907|p=344}} 

Morlot then attacked on Quosdanovich's front as well as on his right flank via Thumeon. The fighting continued until Morlot's right was uncovered by Grenier's withdrawal from Chassart to Saint-Fiacre. This, coupled with a successful counterattack by Quosdanovich against Morlot's flanking force at Thumeon, forced the French general to withdraw to the south bank of the stream running through Pont-a-Migneloup.{{sfn|Dupuis|1907|p=344}}

Quosdanovich's artillery then pinned Morlot's division down under heavy fire until about 3&nbsp;pm, with neither side able to advance. At 3 in the afternoon, Morlot received orders from Jourdan to withdraw to Gosselies, in conjunction with Championnet's withdrawal. Quosdanovich was unable to pursue, as the French had broken the bridge at Pont-a-Migneloup and he had to call up his pontoon train to bridge the stream before he could resume his advance.{{sfn|Dupuis|1907|p=344}} 

The artillery engagement at Pont-a-Migneloup was the last engagement on this sector of the front. Just after 4&nbsp;pm, before he was able to cross and engage Morlot again, Quosdanovich received Coburg's order to withdraw, and immediately complied.{{sfn|Dupuis|1907|p=344}}
