===Positions=== [[File:Batalla de Ocana.jpg|thumb|Plan of the Battle of Ocaña]] West of Ocaña town, Aréizaga placed [[José Pascual de Zayas y Chacón|Zayas y Chacón]]'s Vanguard and Rivas's cavalry. From Ocaña to the east, the Spanish commander aligned his center and right. The right flank, which hung in air, was held by Freire's remaining three cavalry divisions. From there to Ocaña, [[Luis Roberto de Lacy|Lacy]], Castejon, [[Pedro Agustín Girón|Girón]] and Vigodet held the front line. Their battalions were arranged in a double line. In reserve behind Castejon stood Jacome's men, Zerain supported Giron and Copons backed up Vigodet. The Royal Guard and one brigade of Dessolles stood north of Ocaña, facing across a deep ravine. The next unit to the east was [[Louis Emmanuel Rey|Louis Rey]]'s brigade of Dessolles. Gazan and Girard of the V Corps, Leval and Werlé of IV Corps, and the cavalry completed the line to the east. Soult massed 30 cannons near Dessolles and the V Corps' positions.{{sfn|Zimmermann|1979|pp=22-23}}
