This was the first starting a new army of Marshal André Massena after its invasion of Portugal [1]. In view of the fact that British forces were at that time too weak to face the army of Massena, 22 July, General Wellington wrote to Brigadier General Robert Craufurda that he personally not take any action beyond the line of the river Coa . Two days later, Craufurd, who was available to the 4200 foot, 800 cavalry and 6 guns, was surprised on the east (right) side of the river by the troops of Marshal Michel Ney.
