Unseen from across the valley there is a lateral fold in the southern ridge west of the Grande. There Clausel formed his division to meet Cole’s frontally, while ordering several of Bonnet’s battalions from behind the Grande to attack Cole’s open left flank. When Cole’s men reached the lip of the fold Clausel’s men fired and four battalions charged. The division was also taken in the flank and outnumbered by Bonnet’s men. Cole was wounded; the Allies gave ground. Clausel attacked again and Cole’s went reeling back.
