1812 siege during the Peninsular War

In the Battle of Tordesillas, Battle of Villamuriel or Battle of Palencia between 25 and 29 October 1812, a French army led by Joseph Souham outmaneuvered and pushed back an Anglo-Portuguese-Spanish army commanded by Arthur Wellesley, Marquess Wellington. After its failed Siege of Burgos, the 35,000-man Allied army withdrew to the west, pursued by Souham's 53,000 French soldiers.
