27 October 1813 – Santiago Campaign – Day 9


Wellington orders 3rd corps to move north to Corunna
He expects the French to attempt to retake the town
He also orders 4 days supplies from Ourense to Santiago
                                 
7th corps is forced to retreat east having lost the battle of Corunna
In doing so they have used up their last supplies
If they do not resupply tomorrow they will start to lose attrition casualties
