| When the Manticoran main body caught back up to the Argentines two days later, it was only because the Argentines had stopped to establish defensive positions behind the San Juan River, about a third of the way back to their landing points. Significant numbers of Argentine militia had already left, either having been released from service on account of unexpected casualties and supply problems or outright deserting. With only a few thousand Spanish regulars and marines remaining in the field, most of the Manticoran infantry returned to their occupation duties while 3rd Grenadier Brigade, with significant cavalry support, maintained positions across from the Spanish. Although the Grenadiers were planning their own assault across the river, the entire war with Spain was interrupted by Napoleon’s removal of Charles IV from the Spanish throne and the beginning of serious Spanish resistance against the French. The Spanish regulars quickly asked not for a Manticoran departure from Montevideo, but for transport back to Buenos Aires, effectively leaving the Manticorans in control of the Banda Oriental. The large force committed by Manticore to the campaign, equivalent to roughly a third of the north bank’s sparse population, and the heavy casualties suffered during the battle at Sacramento made the Manticorans unwilling to simply hand the territory back. | When the Manticoran main body caught back up to the Argentines two days later, it was only because the Argentines had stopped to establish defensive positions behind the San Juan River, about a third of the way back to their landing points.
