A staccato battle in which each side in turn paused at crucial moments when to have attacked would probably have won the day. The Spanish paused to rest after a night march. The French paused and watched the Spaniards withdraw over a bridge. The Spaniards drew up in line of battle and then waited for three hours before the French attacked. When they did the Spaniards gave one volley and fled. About as many were killed as were captured.
