British cavalry uses folds in the ground to approach without offering the Spanish artillery a useful target. The enemy must choose whether to face those horsemen or turn toward the approaching infantry and guns. Turning away risks a rapid cavalry attack from behind. A British battery meanwhile advances into a position from which it can rake much of the opposing line. Spanish guns waste shots against the intervening hill, and the army eventually gives up the high ground. Infantry then approaches from behind as well, completing the pressure from several directions.
