The Empress' garrison, both surprised and outnumbered, and probably panicking, beat a hasty retreat up to the castle. Those that were caught were either killed or kept for ransom; the city itself was looted and burned. Matilda was thus stranded in Oxford Castle with an even smaller force than that she had entered the city with; Stephen's primary objective in besieging Oxford was the capture of the Empress rather than the city or castle itself, reported the chronicler John of Gloucester. Another, William of Malmsbury, suggests that Stephen believed that capturing Matilda would end the civil war in one fell stroke, and the Gesta declares that "the hope of no advantage, the fear of no loss" would distract the King.
"[It was] firearms, autos and alcohol in too great of concentration I think," said John Nova Lomax of the Houston Press."

Opposite the entrance in boulevard du Temple, General Mortier was killed, 28 July 1835, by the "infernal machine", a bomb intended for Louis-Philippe, with whom he was riding. The proprietor of the Jardin Turc, Bonvallet, was among the Marais citizens who strenuously objected to Louis Napoleon's coup d'état of 2 December 1851, calling themselves "Montagnards" to recall the heady days of the First French Republic. One harangued the people in the boulevard from a balcony of "citoyen Bonvallet, restaurateur", declaring that president Napoléon had placed himself beyond the law; the police soon appeared, and the radicals beat a hasty retreat.
The most obvious effect of darkness is reduced visibility. This affects a soldier's ability to observe friendly troop movements, understand terrain, and especially affects perception of enemy movements and position. Officers find that darkness hampers many aspects of command, including their ability to preserve control, execute movement, firing, maintenance of direction, reconnaissance, security, and mutual support. A U.S. Army report on the history of Japanese warfare described an instance of this confusion: > An example is recorded in the history of Japan when about 1180 a force [sic] > of the Heike confronting a force of the Genji across the Fuji river > (Shizuoka Prefecture) beat a hasty retreat one night due to mistaking the > noise made by water fowl for an attacking Genji force.
