Battle of Ordal

From Warlike

Q4871946




The Battle of Ordal was a meeting engagement on 12 and 13 September 1813 that saw a First French Empire corps led by Marshal Louis Gabriel Suchet make a night assault on a position held by Lieutenant General Lord William Bentinck's smaller Anglo-Allied advance guard. The Allies, under the tactical direction of Colonel Frederick Adam, were defeated and driven from a strong position at the Ordal defile largely because he failed to post adequate pickets, and Bentinck underestimated the enemy's possible decisive action and its strength; because of Bentinck's blunder the Allies put up smaller forces for defense, although overall they had more. In an action the next morning at Vilafranca del Penedès, the Allied cavalry clashed with the pursuing French horsemen and forced to retire. These were the last victories of the "French Eagle" on Spanish soil. The actions occurred during the Peninsular War, part of the Napoleonic Wars. Ordal and El Lledoner are located on Highway N-340 between Molins de Rei and Vilafranca.
