February 1814 CE

The remaining two Allied corps, resuming their eastward drive, push Soult's army back to Orthez, where the French marshal offers battle.

The outnumbered French repel several Allied assaults on their right flank, but their center and left flank are overcome and Soult was compelled to retreat. At first the withdrawal was conducted in good order, but it eventually ended in a scramble for safety and many French soldiers became prisoners.
