Esta batalla enfrento a más de diez mil hombres, entre los bandos realistas y patriotas, las tropas ibéricas estaban comandadas por Miguel de la Torre mientras el ejercito venezolano, estaba liderado por José Antonio Páez, para Bolívar, esta situación alarmante, no solo le otorgaba mayor gloria e importancia a esta victoria, sino comenzaría el desencadenamiento definitivo por conquistar el poder político del territorio conocido hasta ese momento como la Capitania General de Venezuela. “El ejército español pasaba de seis mil hombres, compuesto de todo lo mejor de las expediciones pacificadoras. Este ejército ha dejado de serlo. Cuatrocientos hombres habrán entrado hoy a Puerto Cabello. El Ejército Libertador tenía igual fuerza que el enemigo, pero no más que una quinta parte de él ha decidido la batalla. Nuestra pérdida no es sino dolorosa: apenas 200 muertos y heridos”.
This battle confronted more than ten thousand men, between the royalist and patriot sides, the Iberian troops were commanded by Miguel de la Torre while the Venezuelan army was led by José Antonio Páez, for Bolívar, this alarming situation, not only gave greater glory and importance to this victory, but it would begin the definitive unleashing to conquer the political power of the territory known until that moment as the General Captaincy of Venezuela. "The Spanish army exceeded six thousand men, composed of all the best of the pacifying expeditions. This army has ceased to be. Four hundred men will have entered Puerto Cabello today. The Liberator Army had equal strength to the enemy, but no more than one-fifth of it has decided the battle. Our loss is but painful: barely 200 killed and wounded.
