Capua once taken, Frederic saw that it was useless any longer to attempt defence.
Fortified with this authority, the army continued its march, and arrived before Capua on the 6th of July.
These dispositions were scarcely made when d'Aubigny, having passed the Volturno, approached to lay siege to Capua, and invested the town on both sides of the river.
The French, when they saw that the town was half taken, rushed on the gates with such impetuosity that the besieged did not even attempt to defend themselves any longer, and forced their way into Capua by three separate sides: nothing more could be done then to stop the issue.
