Battle of La Trinidad
[1] On January 19, 1827, Lieutenant General José Justo Milla marched out in command of the Second Federal Battalion crossing the Honduran borders and taking the town of Santa Rosa de Copán without much resistance.
[3] Before they could reach Comayagua, on the heights of Villa de San Antonio, they were attacked by an advance troop under the command of Colonel Hernández and Captain Rosa Medina.
Morazán, commanding the allied forces, managed to return to Choluteca where Colonel José Antonio Márquez was waiting with a division of men to join the "cause of liberty".
Lieutenant General José Justo Milla discovered the presence of Francisco Morazán in the south of Honduras and quickly moved with his men to Tegucigalpa where he established his headquarters.
At 9:00 in the morning of November 11, 1827, Colonel Ramón Pacheco made the first maneuver commanding his force of men to take a position at the road leading from Ojojona to the Valle de la Trinidad.
Colonel Remigio Díaz commanding his force of 150 men moved along the shore of a "Sicatacaro" ravine, heading northeast from Ojojona to the Valle de la Trinidad to attack the enemy's rear.
On the 26th of the same month he arrived at the capital Comayagua where he made a triumphal entrance and occupied the leadership of the State of Honduras which was temporarily held by Miguel Eusebio Bustamante.
