The next morning, having destroyed the fortifications, he marched out of the town again, drums beating and flags flying as before.

When almost in sight of Nimes he made his troops, which had never before been so numerous or so brilliant, perform a great many evolutions, and then continued his way towards Nages.
M.de Montrevel received a report at nine o'clock in the morning of the direction Cavalier and his troops had taken, and immediately left Sommieres, followed by six companies of Fimarqon dragoons, one hundred Irish free-lances, three hundred rank and file of the Hainault regiment, and one company each of the Soissonnais, Charolais, and Menon regiments, forming in all a corps over nine hundred strong.

They took the direction of Vaunages, above Clarensac; but suddenly hearing the rattle of musketry behind them, they wheeled and made for Langlade.
They found that Grandval had already encountered the Camisards.

These being fatigued had withdrawn into a hollow between Boissieres and the windmill at Langlade, in order to rest.

The infantry lay down, their arms beside them; the cavalry placed themselves at the feet of their horses, the bridle on arm.
