It was also intersected by bogs and mountains, whose difficulties soon broke down the strength and spirits of the English troops. At his approach James's generals were inclined to retreat ; but were diverted from this inglorious resolution by Tyrconnel, who promised them an immediate rein- forcement of twenty thousand men. When Schom- berg had advanced as far as Dundalk, he halted. His men were quite exhausted. The fleet destined to supply him with artillery and provisions had not yet arrived a...t Carlingford ; flying parties of the Irish hung on his flank and rear, cutting off his soldiers from food and forage. Marshal Rosen no sooner perceived that Schomberg had paused, than he pro- nounced that ^ he wanted something ;" and imme- diately began to concentrate the Irish forces. Schom- berg could not, in his present condition, hazard a bctttle. He therefore chose what seemed a fa- vourable position for a fortified camp, and secured himself by intrench ments. James soon joined his forces, and led them with banners displayed before the enemy*s lines.
