BK. XII BRITISH CAMPAIGNS IN FLANDERS 183 On the 15th Coburg at last resumed his advance 1793. With forty-two thousand men ; and on the i6th March 15. Dumouriez marched with forty - eight thousand to meet him. On the i8th the decisive action was March 18. Fought at Neerwinden, when the French were totally defeated, with a loss of five thousand men and three guns. The volunteers and the National Guards were the troops that failed in the battle ; and after it the men broke up and fled by whole ba...ttalions. Ten thousand deserted in the ten days following the action, and Dumouriez was fain to form a rearguard out of his artillery and his few battalions of the Line, and to fall back on Lou vain. Coburg, who had lost about three thousand men, made little attempt at pursuit, keeping his main body halted at Tirlemont until the 22nd, but exhorting the Duke of Brunswick- Oels to hasten from Bois-le-Duc to Malines to cut off Dumouriez's retreat to Antwerp. The Duke, who had already permitted Flers to withdraw with impunity the bulk of his forces to Antwerp, was evi- dently not disposed to second Austrian operations with Prussian troops, for he refused to move.
