| Spanish Plan | French Plan |
| (1) To hold the centre whereas the cavalry win the flanks (2) To attack all along the line . | (1) To attack the flanks of the ridge (2) To lauch the infantry when the reinforcements arrive to the enemy rearguard |
| The Spanish cavalry remained immobile whereas the French attacked the flanks, so the Spanish plan was a failure from the start. The late arrival of the French dragoons forced to the outflanking French units to take a more involved role in the battle. | |
