    If you were wondering where Bonnet and Colonel Gudan were, Sharpe sent them to find the general's daughter. Though while the colonel was trying to free her Bickerstaff knifed him in the back. Bonnet a few seconds later saw his colonel dead. His last words were, "The fortunes of war madam."

      @@user-ns3vs3bp3e I mean yeah but that's got nothing to do with his army making a mistake. But one could also argue that it was intentional to lock them up. Imprisoning someone is known to work. That's why jails are a thing. So that isn't really a mistake either. Could he have just killed them? Yeah, but the point was to make him sit by and watch helplessly as his troops died. You don't expect your prisoners to escape.
