Staremberg's left wing was utterly defeated, all the infantry that composed it having been either cut in pieces or taken; but the victors instead of following up the blow began to plunder the baggage; and Staremberg with his right wing fought their left with surprising valour and perseverance till night.

Then they retired in disorder, leaving him master of the field of battle and of all their artillery.

Six thousand of the enemy were killed on the spot; but the allies had suffered so severely that the general could not maintain his ground.

He ordered the cannon to be nailed up, and marched to Saragossa, from whence he retired to Catalonia.

Thither he was pursued by the duke de Vendome, who reduced Belaguer, in which he had left a garrison, and compelled him to take shelter under the walls of Barcelona.
