As the defenders on the Western side of the city retreated in good order into the city, Charles ordered two sorties to attack the Parliamentary forces east of the city. The north-eastern sortie through St. Martin\u2019s Gate was commanded by the Duke of Hamilton and attacked the Parliamentary lines at Perry Wood. The south-eastern one, through Sidbury Gate, was led by Charles II and attacked Red Hill. Cromwell, seeing the difficulty that his east flank was under, rushed back over the Severn pontoon bridge with three brigades of troops to reinforce the flank.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thefugitiveking.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Battle.jpg?resize=443%2C382\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-409\"\/><figcaption><sup><strong>Plaque at Fort Royal<\/strong><\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Although they were pushed back, the Parliamentarians were too numerous and experienced to be defeated by such a move. For an hour, the Parliamentarians retreated before the unexpected attack. However, following their reinforcement by Cromwell\u2019s three brigades, they reversed the situation and drove the Royalists back toward the city. The Royalist retreat turned into a rout in which Parliamentarian and Royalist forces intermingled and skirmished up to and into the city. The Royalist position became untenable when the Essex militia stormed and captured Fort Royal and turned the Royalist guns to fire on Worcester.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Meanwhile, the Royalist cavalry under the command of David Leslie that was gathered on Pitchcroft Meadow on the northern side of the city, did not receive orders to aid the sorties and Leslie chose not to do so under his own initiative. The non-participation of these troops remains something of an enigma and did the Royalist Army no favours.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thefugitiveking.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gun.jpg?resize=519%2C389\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-373\"\/><figcaption><sup><strong>Fort Royal Park today, overlooking the Commandery and the Cathedral<\/strong><\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Returning to the city, legend has it that Charles II used an overturned ammunition cart to climb over Sudbury Gate, removed his armour and found a fresh horse; he attempted to rally his troops, but was unable to do so.
