Discover in War Chronicles how 96 Mounted Grenadiers, led by the brilliant and insane Major Juan Lavalle (The Lion of Riobamba), faced 420 veteran horsemen of the Spanish Empire. Instead of fleeing, Lavalle ordered a suicidal charge that shattered the enemy lines, humiliated the royalist cavalry, and saved General Sucre's army.
