民兵占得太多了。实际情况和那段视频近似,西军正规炮兵基本战斗到倒下,民兵多数不是吓呆就是撒腿跑。

The Spaniards prepared their positions well. At Cereze de Abajo was their advance post: 200 mounted Madrid volunteers and few hundreds of militia.
Six guns were placed on the road, forming three batteries of two guns each. The first battery of 2 4pdr guns stood behind a stone bridge. The gunners were protected from infantry fire by a small earthwork. In front of the bridge and across the road was a ditch. It was an obstacle for cavalry and artillery.
Approx. 700 m behind the first battery stood the second battery. Approx. 1,000 militia took positions on both sides of the highway. In reserve, on the summit stood 2,000 militia and 10 guns. The line infantry however was deployed mainly on the road between Somosierra and Madrid.

There was not much resistance from the Spanish militia but the regulars, and especially the gunners were formidable foes. |
