Their loss during the night was put down as a thousand . On the 8th Montretout , which was armed with 72 heavy guns , opened fire , the rest of the batteries joined in , and for a couple of hours the din was terrific . The next day Issy was captured by the troops . They attacked the village at daybreak , and advancing slowly , capturing house by house , they occupied the church and marketplace at noon . Just as they had done so , a battalion of Insurgents were seen advancing , to reinforce the garrison of the Fort . They were allowed to advance to within fifty yards when a heavy volley was poured into them . They halted for a moment , but their colonel rallied them .
