  current battle

In the Battle of Cervera (4 to 14 October 1811) a Spanish force led by Luis Roberto de Lacy attacked a series of Imperial French garrisons belonging to the VII Corps of Marshal Jacques MacDonald. The actions were highly successful and netted nearly 1,000 enemy prisoners. The clashes occurred during the Peninsular War, part of the Napoleonic Wars. The largest garrison was located at Cervera which is located about 55 kilometres (34 mi) east of Lleida, in Catalonia, Spain.

Background

After the Army of Catalonia was nearly destroyed in the sieges of Tarragona and Figueres during July and August 1811,[1] Lacy replaced Luis González Torres de Navarra, Marquess of Campoverde as Captain General. Marshal Louis Gabriel Suchet struck another blow against the Catalans when his troops seized the miquelet base in the Battle of Montserrat on 25 July 1811. The unpopular but vigorous Lacy quickly reorganized the 8,000-man remnant of his army into three small divisions under Generals Baron de Eroles, Pedro Sarsfield, and Francisco Milans del Bosch. With the Royal Navy's assistance, Lacy seized the Medes Islands at the mouth of the Ter River on 12 September.[2]

Battle

On 4 October 1811, Lacy's forces captured 200 Imperial troops at Igualada on the highway between Barcelona and Lleida. Continuing west, the Spanish column seized a French convoy near Cervera on the 7th. Lacy overwhelmed the garrison of Cervera on 11 October, bagging another 645 prisoners. Finally, on the 14th the Spaniards took 150 more captives at Bellpuig. After these defeats, the French evacuated the monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat on Montserrat Mountain.[2]

Buste de Pyrrhus, musée archéologique national de Naples. Une victoire à la Pyrrhus est une victoire obtenue au prix de pertes si lourdes pour le vainqueur qu'elle équivaut quasiment à une défaite. Une telle victoire est contraire à tout sentiment d'accomplissement ou de gloire, et compromet le progrès à long terme du vainqueur. L'expression est une allusion au roi Pyrrhus d'Épire, dont l'armée a souffert des pertes importantes et irremplaçables en battant les Romains pendant ses gue…
