The Three Glorious Days of the Royalists

Both the first and third columns retreated back to home base without having received orders to do so. They were cut off from orders and simply doing the only ane thing they could do under the circumstances. By midnight, all the royalist forces were back at home base. Between them, there was not one shred of good news to share, so far as they were concerned. Many of the deputies stayed home rather than meat back up. Only one or two of them even welcomed the idea of fighting in the streets.
