The siege was made possible by the destruction of the French army at the Battle of Oudenarde and the landing in Ostend of large amounts of ammunition and food after the Battle of Wijnendale . For most of the campaign , Eugene commanded the forces besieging Lille , while Marlborough commanded the forces covering those forces against external French interference .

With the loss of Lille , the French presence in northern Flanders crumbled ; the Allies moved against Ghent , taking the city in late December .
