Saguntum 25 October 1811 - Determined to relieve the French siege of Saguntum, Blake strengthened his left wing with the intention of crushing the French right and then outflanking the main French force, which would be pinned in place by a smaller force of Blake's best troops. However, while the Spanish right, led by Blake himself, fought well against a French force of approximately equal strength, the troops on the Spanish left were mostly poor quality and would be easily routed by a French force of half their strength, with a regiment of Italian dragoons scattering seven battalions.
