16 September – Southern Spain – Day 9

Suchet orders a retreat to reopen and secure his lines of supply
This requires his army to separate so that they can support all six depots
By moving he is unable to resupply, and by nightfall all three corps are out of supply
7th corps has been out of supply all day and has lost 400 casualties to attrition

The Spanish army is already out of supply and losing attrition casualties
However they are all within supply range of their three depots and can resupply
Once resupplied they will be able to rally, regroup and reorganise
All guerrilla attacks have ceased and the brigades are moving to nearby villages
