The news that General Pelissier led the Anglo-French Army to occupy the South Shore of Sevastopol was relayed by cavalry to the Allied Command located on the North Shore of Sevastopol. Upon hearing this news, the commanders on the North Shore of Sevastopol displayed expressions of surprise.
In the Allied Command's plan, after the Anglo-French combined forces reached the South Shore of Sevastopol, they were not supposed to immediately advance into the South Shore. Instead, they were to display an intention to advance to the South Shore, forcing the Russian Empire to divert some troops to defend against General Pelissier.
This would alleviate the burden on General Troche, and the Anglo-French forces near Malakhov Castle only needed to quietly wait for the arrival of artillery to take the next step.
