Following
his defeat at Valladolid Wellington orders a general retreat
The French
occupy Palencia, Valladolid and Arevalo.
Soult must
now reorganise his depots and lines of supply
He now
occupies six of the nine Spanish towns
Their
Spanish garrisons are now guerrilla bands
They are
moving into position to attack the French garrisons and convoys
The first
guerrilla attack is on the garrison of Quintana
The
attackers are driven off with a loss of 20% casualties
However the attack halts resupply to the French north wing
