He later led a reserve division at the Battle of Ayacucho (1824), a decisive military encounter during the Peruvian War of Independence.

He continued with the Liberator participating in the siege of Puerto Cabello and in the battles of Bárbula and Trincheras (two actions near Naguanagua) and Vigirima.

In 1814, he took part in the Battle of Carabobo, on 28 May, the day he turned 36, and then, under the orders of General Rafael Urdaneta, continued executing operations in the west of the country, including against 22 Capuchins, after Bolívar ordered them "removed" from the area around the town of El Chaparro.

[2] He participated in the retreat to Nueva Granada, where the command of Urdaneta's forces was assumed by Bolívar, and they marched to Santafé de Bogotá to fight against Manuel Bernardo Álvarez, concluding the operation in December of that same year.

A public service and military award, Order of Division General Jacinto Lara, is named after him.
