For a whole day a tremendous fire kept thundering upon the castle of Albahar. The lombards discharged large stones which demolished two of the towers and all the battlements which guarded the portal. If any Moors attempted to defend the walls or repair the breaches, they were shot down by ribadoquines and other small pieces of artillery.
Columns of smoke rose in every direction, while the clash of arms, the thundering of ribadoquines and arquebuses, the shouts and cries of the combatants, and the groans and supplications of the wounded bespoke the deadly conflict waging in the bosom of the groves.
This hope was soon at an end. The very next day they beheld long laborious lines of ordnance slowly moving into the Spanish camp lombards, ribadoquines, catapults, and cars laden with munitions while the escort, under the brave master of Alcantara, wheeled in great battalions into the camp to augment the force of the besiegers.
