Desperate Assaults At Tenazle Fort Ended In Heavy Losses
The battle raged from one in the afternoon until five in the evening as two great infantry columns and reserves assaulted the Tenazle works. Spanish regiments Murcia and Belgiz faced determined fire, with cavalry dismounted to reinforce. Losses ran high on both sides, with notable deaths and injuries among senior officers and a heroic defense by Grenadiers at the breastwork. The effort culminated in a strategic retreat by the attackers, while defenders reported fierce bravery and disciplined execution throughout the engagement.
