All
four French corps retreat towards Leon.
Due to moving all day they have not been able
to rally or reorganise
At nightfall they have the same morale as at
the end of the battle
In addition they are widely dispersed out
between Astorga and Sahagun
Wellington
also orders his army to advance and secure he ground taken
2nd
corps occupy Benevente and 4th corps Sanabria
1st
and 3rd corps advance to support them
The
British are now very low on supplies, each corps has just one days left
They
are also disorganised and have been unable to rally due to movement
In
addition they are moving beyond range of supply from Trabanos and Valladolid
Both
armies will have to rest to rally, regroup and resupply
This
will be easier for the French, who are retreating towards their main depot at
Leon
Wellington
will have to reorganise his supply depot if he is to advance further north.
