In the dead of night, the Cavalry of the First and Second Division of the Austrian Army rode out through no-man's-land into the fray as the Iberian forces and their foreign volunteers fled from the field of battle after witnessing the supposed fall angels from the heavens.
In reality, this chaotic sight was nothing more than Austrian flares illuminating the Iberian positions and artillery fire falling upon them. However, the superstitious medieval people of Iberia had no way of knowing of such military advancements in the hands of their enemies.
Despite this, the Iberian Catholics were so frightened by the horror they witnessed they abandoned their encampments and supplies as they fled for their lives, turning their backs to the Austro-Granadan alliance.
