 General Karl Friedrich von Steinmetz's 5th Corps was nearly caught as it emerged from a gully by the town of Nachod, Bohemia.The King’s Grenadiers were in the advance guard, and raced forward, first to occupy some woods outside the gully’s opening, and then to take possession of the heights above Wenzelsberg.To counter the danger of the Prussians flanking his army, during the evening June 26, Benedek finally decided to send Ramming's VI Corps to Náchod to block the passes.
