The Cardinal-Infante would embrace a more offensive strategy in the upcoming days, aiming to rapidly repulse the Dutch forces so that resources could be diverted south against the French.

operations in 1640. Prior to that, skirmishes by the Dutch across the front had been repelled by the
Spanish, and attempts to attack Hulst in 1639 resounded in failure. The Cardinal-Infante since then has been able to consolidate his armies' position in the

campaign didn't seem to have much success in its way. The
Spanish defenders were so stout in the several days of investment that Frederick Henry would later order a retreat on the 9th of July after fierce fighting around Fort Nassaro.
