Left?

This needs some more details:

"After realizing that he could not prevail and refusing to surrender, Delgrès left with 400 men and some women."

How could 400 people just up and leave while under siege? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.95.56.66 (talk) 16:54, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The short answer is that there was a back door. In the corresponding French Wikipedia article, it's noted specifically that he and (uncounted) others left by "la poterne du Galion à l'arrière du fort", the postern at the Galion River at the back of the fort. A satellite view of the fort (now Fort Degrès, appropriately) shows the Galion nearby. Triplingual (talk) 02:43, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
