In the Battle of Maguilla (11 June 1812) a British cavalry brigade led by Major General John Slade attacked a similar-sized French cavalry brigade commanded by General of Brigade Charles Lallemand. The British dragoons scored an initial success, routing the French dragoons and capturing a number of them. The British troopers recklessly galloped after their foes, losing all order. At length, the French reserve squadron charged into the British, followed by the French main body which rallied. With the tables turned, the French dragoons chased the British until the horses of both sides were too exhausted for the battle to continue. The action took place during the Peninsular War, near Maguilla, Spain, a distance of 17 kilometres (11 mi) northeast of Llerena.

  • Le combat de Maguilla se déroule le 11 juin 1812 à Maguilla, en Espagne, dans le cadre de la guerre d'indépendance espagnole. Il oppose la cavalerie française du général François Antoine Lallemand à une brigade de cavalerie britannique aux ordres du général (en). Au cours de l'affrontement, la cavalerie française est initialement repoussée par son homologue britannique avant de parvenir à retourner la situation en sa faveur et à mettre en déroute la brigade Slade. Ce combat, considéré par l'historien Ian Fletcher comme « le moins honorable de toute la guerre », contribue pour beaucoup à la mauvaise réputation de la cavalerie britannique durant la guerre de la péninsule.

  • В битве при Магилье (11 июня 1812 года) британская кавалерийская бригада во главе с генерал-майором Джоном Слейдом атаковала французскую кавалерийскую бригаду примерно того же размера под командованием бригадного генерала Шарля Лаллемана. Поначалу британские драгуны добились успеха, разгромив французских драгунов и захватив часть из них в плен. Но затем британские солдаты увлеклись безрассудной погоней за противником, во время которой боевой строй был полностью нарушен. В конце концов, британцев атаковал резервный эскадрон, за которым последовали основные французские силы. Ситуация кардинально поменялась, и теперь уже французские драгуны преследовали британцев, пока лошади обеих сторон не выдохлись. Сражение происходило во время Пиренейской войны, недалеко от Магилья, Испания, на расстояни (ru)
