Surprising Spanish cavalry defeat aids Estremadura retreat
From the London Gazette of 27, war reports describe a surprise Spanish cavalry defeat near Vilha Velha halting their attempt to cross into Alemtejo. Heavy rains force their retreat over the Estremadura mountains as Allied lines tighten. Dispatches from Lippe, Loudoun, and Townshend place Castella Branca and Castello Rodrigo in focus with strategic moves around Guarda and Abrantes.
