1812 (Pursuit into the Spanish Savannas): Following the rout of David Trois’s expedition, the royal army pursued the fleeing rebels into the “Spanish Savannas.” The King’s troops effected a junction with the forces of the West to ensure the total dispersal of the insurgent elements. This cross-border operation demonstrated the military’s ability to maintain pressure on the rebels even in the most difficult terrain and weather conditions. The narrative emphasizes that the rebels had “forgotten the many defeats” they had previously experienced and required this “one lesson more.” This successful campaign highlighted the “skilful policy” of the King in maintaining regional stability.
