five o'clock
We continued our march till after noon , in the intense heat and choking dust . The farther we advanced the greater the number of troops we saw , infantry and cavalry . They massed themselves more and more , so to speak , and behind us there were still other regiments . Toward five o'clock we reached a village where the battalions and squadrons filed over a bridge built of brick . This village had been taken by our vanguard , and in going through it , we saw some of the Prussians stretched out in the little streets on the right and left , and I said to Jean Buche : `` Those are Prussians , I saw them at Lutzen and Leipzig , and you are going to see them too , Jean . '' `` So much the better , '' he replied , `` that is what I want . '' This village was called Chatelet .
