La Batalla de Otumba Cómo 4 000 Hombres Vencieron a un Imperio de 40 000

How did a handful of exhausted and wounded soldiers manage to defeat an army of 40,000 Aztec warriors? Welcome to the story of the Battle of Otumba, the most incredible military miracle of the conquest of Mexico. On July 7, 1520, after the disastrous retreat from Tenochtitlán known as "La Noche Triste" (The Night of Sorrows), Hernán Cortés and the surviving Spanish conquistadors found themselves cornered on the plains of Otumba. Out of gunpowder, nearly out of horses, and outnumbered ten to one by the Aztec (Mexica) Empire, the expedition's fate seemed sealed. However, what happened that day changed the destiny of the Americas forever. In this historical reconstruction, we examine Cortés's legendary cavalry charge, the fall of the Aztec standard-bearer Cihuacóatl, and the desperate military tactics that transformed certain defeat into the most heroic victory in the history of Spain in the New World.
