The gallant old general, Fuentes, expired from his wounds soon after the termination of the battle.
Hector was with the body of young nobles who followed close behind Enghien in the three first desperate charges.

In the third his horse was shot under him just as the cavalry recoiled from the deadly fire of the square.

He partly extracted his foot from the stirrup as he fell, but not sufficiently to free him, and he was pinned to the ground by the weight of the horse.

It was well for him that it was so, for had he been free he would assuredly have been shot down as he followed the retreating cavalry.

This thought occurred to his mind after the first involuntary effort to extricate his leg, and he lay there stiff and immovable as if dead.
