Battle of Pequereque
The Battle of Pequereque was a clash which took place on 19 June 1813, during the second Upper Peru campaign of the Argentine War of Independence, between scouting forces of the United Provinces Army of the North and the royalist Army of Peru. The republican cavalry of the Army of the North, led by Colonel Cornelio Zelaya, prevailed over the royalists, under the command of Colonel Pedro Olañeta.
==Background==
After the capitulation of General Pio de Tristan in the battle of Salta, on 24 February 1813, the United Provinces' Army of the North gained the upper hand not only in northern Argentina, but also in southern Upper Peru (present-day Bolivia). At the same time, the royalists were experiencing a crisis of command, after the resignation of General José Manuel de Goyeneche for personal reasons.〔Mitre, p. 173.〕 The Spanish garrisons reacted with panic after learning of Tristan's defeat and effected a massive withdrawal of their troops from Jujuy and Potosi towards Oruro, in central Upper Peru.〔Mitre, p. 150.〕 During the early days of May the Army of the North reached Potosi, and a forward screen force of about 500 men was deployed along the route to Oruro.〔Mitre, p. 158.〕 These troops, composed of a cavalry regiment of ''Dragones'' (Dragoons), were commanded by Colonel Cornelio Zelaya.〔Araóz de la Madrid, p. 21.〕
