 Insurgent Search Like 'Chasing Ghosts' (Military Nuts)
The trademark of Suchet's military campaigns were that they were fast, violently powerful and brutally shocking, taking the heart out of any Spanish defenders that held out their towns or city from him.
But, Suchet never attempted to attack and lay siege without discrimination against non-combatants and he always made it known to his besieged enemies on where to house the invalids so that his artillery would not target at the area and neither were his troops permitted to enter that enclave.
Suchet's success laid in his ability to percieve that the true threat that faced the French in Spain were the all powerful Spanish Church and their fanatical priests whom the people greatly respected and feared.

 Saguntum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saguntum minted coins under his protection, and continued to house a mint when, as Roman Saguntum, it was rebuilt and flourished with the rank of municipium.
This later prosperity lasted most of the empire through, and is attested by inscriptions and ruins (notably a theater, demolished by Napoleon's marshal Louis Gabriel Suchet, who also destroyed the Roman tower of Hercules).
Then, the town was known as Morvedre (Morviedro in Spanish), a word derived from Latin muri veteres "ancient walls." However, as Valencia grew, Saguntum declined.
