The battle

French troops remained awaiting for siege material, which arrived slowly. During this time, the troops of the Regency were reinforcing, establishing themselves at the Staoueli camp and consolidating their lines against the French with a few cannons in the center of their positions. The attack was launched on June 19, and was repulsed after a few hours by the French who seized the Algerian artillery and the Staoueli camp, where they settled.
