Battle of Tatayibá
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The Battle of Tatayiba was a cavalry engagement between a Paraguayan force led by future President Bernardino Caballero and a Brazilian force led by the Duke of Caxias. The Brazilians, outnumbering the Paraguayans nearly 3 to 2, were victorious.
A trap was set by the Brazilian cavalry in order to stop the daily sorties by Lt. Col. Caballero's Paraguayan cavalry. Hiding their main force in the woods, a few Brazilians lured the Paraguayan cavalry on a three mile chase. The Paraguayans were surrounded at Tatayiba, with only a few making it back to Humaita. Caballero was promoted to Col., and a medal ordered for his survivors.[1]:75
