King Albert and 150,000 Belgians fell back before the German onslaught through Liège and Brussels, withdrawing to the port of Antwerp. Under attack by General Hans von Beseler with massive siege guns, Belgian General Victor Deguise eventually had to surrender, but Albert and most of his army escaped to support the Allies at Ypres and the Yser.
