Imperial Army Victory After Rain Battle in Ottoman War
The narrative describes Husars probing enemy lines, a fierce clash near Cornua three leagues from Mendia, and an Imperial counterattack led by General Wallis. Turks suffer heavy losses as rain hinders pursuit, Imperialists seize four cannons and numerous arms while 590 men are down, including 49 officers. Königsegg presses toward Medina as news arrives of a bankruptcy notice for Henry Carey and a high tide report at London Bridge.
