Subsequently, the Spanish general fell back to the valley of the Tech River where he repulsed a series of French attempts to drive him back into Spain. D'Aoust tried and failed to oust the Spanish from Le Boulou on 3 October. In the First Battle of Boulou (or Pla del Rey) from 13 to 15 October, Ricardos bloodily repulsed the attacks of GD Louis Marie Turreau. D'Aoust was defeated again on 7 December at the Battle of Villelongue. The Spanish seized Fort Saint-Elme through the treason of its commander and, in the Battle of Collioure, captured the port of Collioure on 20 December, wiping out 4,000 of its garrison of 5,000 men. Soon afterward, D'Aoust was arrested and eventually executed.
