Leigonyer's army had practically ceased to exist, as had that which had advanced from Saint Florent.

Berruyer had lost three thousand men, and was back again at the point from which he had started.

Chollet and Vihiers had been recovered without a blow.
As the result of his failures, Berruyer was recalled to Paris, tried for his conduct, and narrowly escaped the guillotine.
As soon as Berruyer retired, Cathelineau advanced against Bressuire.

News of his coming at once scared the Blues from the town, and they retreated to Thouars.

They did not even wait to take their prisoners with them and, as soon as they had gone, the Marquis de la Lescure with his family rode off to their chateau, at Clisson.
