Salamanca; a short and decisive battle. The Spanish Lancers entered the field of battle with dignity. They left in pieces.


As they approached the British lines, Wellington ordered the cavalry forward on the right flank. The Spanish leaned towards the undefended left flank. Alas, they were too slow.

The British cavalry caught the rear of the Spanish force just as the British infantry opened fire, cutting down the front ranks of the enemy. A second volley decimated the remaining cavalry and the British carried the day with ease!
