Everything about The Battle Of Tierra Blanca totally explained
The
Battle of Tierra Blanca was a major victory for
Francisco "Pancho" Villa over the forces of
Jose Ines Salazar, commander of the forces loyal to
Victoriano Huerta in this battle.
The two armies were of relatively equal numbers, but Salazar's federal troops were in theory more disciplined, and he'd more artillery. The battle began on
November 23,
1913. The first day was a fairly indecisive battle.
On the second day Villa's cavalry overwhelmed Salazar's troops. This, combined with
Rodolfo Fierro's mission to explode armaments behind the line, caused Salazar's forces to collapse.
