Volume III.(of III) 1574-84 by John Lothrop Motley]@TWC D-Link book Volume III.(of III) 1574-84 96/101 The whole army bloke to pieces at once, and so great was the trepidation, that the conquered troops had hardly courage to run away. Not a blow was struck by the fugitives. Hardly a man in the Spanish ranks was wounded; while, in the course of an hour and a half, the whole force of the enemy was exterminated. It is impossible to state with accuracy the exact numbers slain. Some accounts spoke of ten thousand killed, or captive, with absolutely no loss on the royal side. |
