This is the third time Ducos has really screwed the pooch with Calvet. 1st was the time he told Calvet that Sharpe had no Artillery. Wrong. 2nd was when he convinced Calvet to use his powder reserves as bait, which were exploded. And now he has him march away from the war to help him fight a personal vendetta, leading to the expedition being annihilated. Ducos is a dip shit looking for a field promotion to well dressed corpse.

Ducos still had a perfectly legit 15 year spy come out of hiding to capture a single major in a breached castle held by only 50 men. Men without connons, supplies, reinforcements, or even a powder magazine. Easiest road to victory would have been to skirmish out thier remaining ammo and then put it to the sword. It was piss poor strategy all around. Even worse since you let both english forces in the castle have a victory, even if the colonel's "victory" was a ploy/ruse.

@@dont-want-no-wrench Certainly not, but there was something fundamentally cruel about Dickensian England. It was a common theme throughout Sharpe Novels contrasting the rationality and cleanliness of the Netherlands or France compared to the primitive barbarity of Spain and the "high tech" Barbarity of England. Sharpe loved his king and his country but he was under no illusions that the UK at this time was a wicked place and ended up living in France after the war. It was like the industrial age met Feudalism and it took a few generations for society to catch up but during that time we had the wonders of modern technology mixed with the brutality of the medieval age. Which just made the whole era a particularly noxious part of British history. My own paternal ancestor was given over to indentured servitude to a black smith and rather than be what amounts to a slave for 7 years he jumped a ship for the USA in 1817. My very existence as an American is a testament to the cruelty of that age.
