Despite the Spanish victory, Governor Felipe Rivero, ordered that Azua be evacuated due to the uprising of San Cristóbal, this caused the city to be cut off from Santo Domingo and left it surrounded by Dominican forces.

On October 1, 1863, more than 1,000 Dominican rebels attacked and marched towards Azua with 2 pieces of artillery, but General Eusebio Puello met them and finding them on the other side of the Jura River, a league and a half from that point, although with fewer forces (partly with soldiers sent from Puerto Plata by Lieutenant General José de la Gándara), he managed to repel General Durán's troops, and managed to seize the 2 pieces of artillery guarded by Manuel Chanlatte, all the ammunition and several prisoners.

[1][2] On October 6, the revolutionaries took Baní and on the next day, San Cristóbal would revolt, causing Azua to be detached from Santo Domingo.

[3] On October 9, 1863, Spanish troops and loyalist families evacuated from Azua in three ships to Santo Domingo.

[citation needed] The action of Lieutenant General Rivero to evacuate the city prevented General Florentino from finishing off the Spanish troops and Lieutenant General De la Gándara would say in his book, Annexation and War of Santo Domingo, that:[4] If Puello was left in Azua, the revolution would literally swallow him up: his provisions and ammunition would be exhausted in a short time, and the enemy, comparable to a fluid that is as quick to condemn as it is to dissolve, would continue to swell and become heavier as the distress grew; and the result would always be to take more or less time to open its own tomb with glory.Eusebio Puello would later be promoted to the rank of Field marshal of the Spanish Army for his performance in the battle, and Lieutenant General Rivero awarded him the Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic for his merits on the Jura River and his operations in Baní.
