An unwise imitation of European strategy ; an error in tactics in part, ' and in part an Argentine prejudice, caused the shame- ful loss of this battle. Yidela Castillo knew that CASTILLO'S BLUNDERS. 185 Quiroga was approaching, but did not believe, as no other general would have believed, that he would attack Mendoza ; he therefore sent to the Lakes his veteran troops, who, with some other detachments from San Juan under the command of Major Castro, formed a force strong enough to resist an at...tack, and to force Quiroga to take the road to the Llanos. So far it was all right. But Quiroga did march upon Mendoza, and the whole army went out to meet him. In the place called Chacon there is an open field in which the army left its rear guard ; but soon after, hearing the firing of a company in retreat, General Castillo ordered the army to fall back hastily, in order to occupy the level field of Chacon. This was a double error ; in the first place, because a retreat at the approach of a formidable enemy paralyzes inexperienced soldiers, who do not understand the cause of the movement ; and secondly, because the rougher and more broken the ground, the better it would have been for fighting Quiroga, who only had with him a small body of infantry.
