captured Theodard Rodrigo a strong city controlling the main route of the campaign he surrendered two weeks later Wellington Wellington had only 33 000 men to counter Marshall's 50 000 withdrew Marshall passed throug The affected area extended and killed Almeida After 13 hours of explosions fortunately the French gun hit the magazine 70 tons of gunpowder exploded violently making all resistance ineffective Wellington suffered a major setback Wellington had always relied on Almeida as a strong defense to buy him time In the end he found a strong defensive position He took a stance Marshall's uphill advance attack failed causing 4 000 deaths but the next day the French found a way to dislodge Wellington from his position and he continued to withdraw Marshall's army was near London when his officers reported an entirely unexpected event extending to the westward protecting the city's defense they discovered it Two important lines called the Torrijos Line and the British and French lines are already under construction These lines are already under construction Various forests Cross Mountain Battery Three thousand soldiers Firearms Marshall what's wrong Marshall Li Jua Napoleon faced a grim predicament starved of supplies too weak to attack and unwilling to retreat But throughout this standoff it was Portuguese peasants who suffered the most When their villages and farms were burned many took refuge in Lisbon where thousands died of starvation and disease Back in France Napoleon had been preoccupied with his divorce from Empress Josephine and then a new marriage to Archduchess Marie-Louise daughter of the Emperor of Austria She was now expecting their first child Nevertheless from Paris Napoleon sent frequent orders to his Marshals in Spain and Portugal urging them to take more aggressive action But by the time these orders arrived weeks later they were usually outdated and showed little understanding of the problems his marshals faced He now ordered Soult based in Andalusia to go on the offensive to draw enemy forces away from Lisbon so that Masséna could take the city Soult laid siege to Badajoz a fortified city that controlled the southern route into Portugal When 12 000 men of the Army of Extremadura marched to its relief they were defeated by Soult after which the city surrendered without resistance handing over 8 000 prisoners and large quantities of supplies It was another heavy blow to Spain's armed forces But remarkably despite such disasters and their many incompetent generals the Spanish troops remained willing to fight the courage of the rank-and-file undimmed Victor's First Corps besieging Cadiz had now been so weakened that it could no longer support other operations so the Anglo-Spanish garrison decided to attack The Allies landed along the coast to strike at the French siege lines from the rear But they were ambushed by the French at Barrosa Despite heavy losses the Anglo-Portuguese rearguard fought off the enemy but a furious falling out between British commander Sir Thomas Graham and his Spanish counterpart General La Peña threw away any advantage Soult alarmed by these developments marched back to Andalusia Meanwhile Masséna running out of food and with no prospect of reinforcement had no choice but to retreat Wellington's army pursued discovering evidence of several appalling atrocities committed by the French against Portuguese villagers There were running battles with the French rearguard brilliantly commanded by Marshal Ney until he was dismissed by Masséna for criticizing his leadership Having driven the French out of Portugal Wellington laid siege to Almeida Masséna's army now rested and reinforced marched to its aid The two armies clashed again at Fuentes de Oñoro In two days of heavy fighting Masséna failed to break through Wellington's position to relieve Almeida The fortress fell the next week but to Wellington's fury British mistakes allowed most of the French garrison to escape Masséna had lost 25 000 men in Portugal Now he had lost Almeida as well and a series of poor decisions not least bringing his mistress with him on the campaign had cost him the respect of his officers The Marshal whom Napoleon had once nicknamed the "Dear Child of Victory " was recalled to France in disgrace never to hold senior command again Napoleon sent Marshal Marmont to replace him Meanwhile Marshal Beresford the British commander of Portugal's army was sent to retake Badajoz with 20 000 British and Portuguese troops When Soult approached with a relief force Beresford marched to meet him at Albuera It was one of the bloodiest battles of the war with around 6 000 casualties on each side and more than a third of the British infantry killed wounded or captured Marshal Soult declared There is no beating these troops in spite of their generals I always thought they were bad soldiers Now I'm sure of it I had turned their right pierced their center and everywhere victory was mine But they didn't know how to run Soult had been checked but he was determined to save Badajoz The newly arrived Marshal Marmont marched to his aid and they advanced again This combined army forced the British to abandon the siege But when Wellington withdrew to a strong defensive position across the Portuguese border Soult and Marmont did not pursue French commanders in Spain had come to respect Wellington and the steadfastness of his troops For now the war in Spain had reached a stalemate While British French and Spanish armies crisscrossed Spain and Portugal another war was fought every day in the mountains hills and woods From 1808 Spanish and Portuguese civilians militias and former soldiers began taking up arms against the hated French invader They waged a war of ambushes and hit-and-run raids known in Spanish as La Guerrilla the Little War Its fighters became known in English as guerrillas Britain's Royal Navy provided essential weapons supplies and funds often landing them behind enemy lines Much of Spain's rugged countryside came under the control of the guerrillas North of Madrid Juan Martín Diez an ex-soldier known as El Empecinado the Stubborn led a guerrilla band of 6 000 In Navarre Esposí Mina a former peasant led a highly organized band that caused chaos for the French capturing convoys and couriers on the strategic Burgos-Bayonne road and branding Viva Mina on the forehead of collaborators While in the west Julian Sánchez known as El Charro led the self-styled Lanceros de Castilla El Charro himself wore a French hussar's cap its eagle symbolically turned upside down There were dozens more bands operating across Spain though a few were no better than bandits terrorizing civilians as often as the enemy The guerrilla war was merciless marked by hideous atrocities on both sides A French soldier's greatest fear was to be taken alive by the guerrillas Who often tortured their prisoners before killing them Tens of thousands of French troops were tied down by this people's war guarding outposts or patrolling the countryside The roads were so dangerous for French messengers that they required cavalry escorts of 200 men or more Many still didn't get through Their valuable dispatches were forwarded to Wellington for whom they became an invaluable source of intelligence The war in Spain would ultimately cost the lives of 240 000 French soldiers As was typical in wars of this era most died from disease But more died fighting guerrillas than in battle against the British and Spanish armies However it was the twin threat - a well-led regular army under Wellington and a popular insurgency - that left the French facing an impossible strategic dilemma If their armies remained dispersed to fight the guerrillas Wellington could attack But if they concentrated to defeat Wellington in battle huge swathes of the country would quickly fall to the guerrillas This was Napoleon's Vietnam or his Bleeding Ulcer as he called it - a war that cost his empire an average of 100 casualties every day with little prospect of victory And in 1812 as Napoleon launched his massive invasion of Russia Wellington and the guerrillas launched their own offensive that would turn the war in Spain on its head
