On the following day (Saturday, 22nd) there was a small

sortie on the south-eastern side across the Meuse at Joinville against the Wiirtemberg outposts, of which also we know nothing from any French source. It reached Champigny and was there repulsed by the 2nd Rifle Battalion and a portion of the 7th Regiment. This was probably a mere reconnaissance. The Wiirtembergers report their own loss as only 3 killed and 30 wounded, but took no prisoners.
