After securing the villages of Gundeschwil, Schottikon, Wiesendangen, and Stogen, further west of Islikon, Hotze deployed two of his columns facing the French front, while a third angled to the French right, as Ney had expected he would.
Pärast Gundeschwili, Schottikoni, Wiesendangeni ja Stogeni külade kindlustamist, Islikonist kaugemal läänes, saatis Hotze kaks oma kolonni prantslaste rinde vastu, kui kolmas kaldus prantslaste paremtiivale, nagu ka Ney eeldas.
