The Battle of Huamantla was a U.S. victory late in the Mexican–American War that forced the Mexican Army to lift the siege of Puebla.[1]: 331
Background
Santa Anna left Puebla at the end of Sept., to intercept Joseph Lane's relief column, planning an ambush at Paso del Pintal.[1]: 331 Learning of Santa Anna's men at Huamantla, Lane left his train under guard and marched toward that city, Captain Samuel H. Walker's four companies of cavalry in the lead.[1]: 331
Battle
Walker charged, upon seeing Santa Anna's lancers, driving the Mexicans from the town.[1]: 331 Santa Anna led a counterattack, Walker was shot by a civilian in a nearby house, and his men retreated into a church.[1]: 331 The Mexicans then retreated to Querétaro.[1]: 331
Lane turned his troops loose in a drunken sack of the town.[1]: 331 They reached Puebla on 12 Oct. to lift the siege.[1]: 331
