Siege of Chillán The Siege of Chillán occurred July 27 to August 10 , 1813 , as patriot forces attempted to dislodge a determined band of royalist defenders . The failure of José Miguel Carrera to take the city would contribute to his removal from office by the junta later in the campaign . Background . The city of Chillán was held by royalist troops under the command of Juan Francisco Sanchez , backed by forces under the command of Ildefonso Elorreaga and the Valdivian troops of Juan Nepomuceno Carvallo . Juan Francisco Sanchez had sent a message to Antonio Pareja for reinforcements as José Miguel Carrera began his siege . As a result , the governing body at Santiago instructed Carrera to try to take the city before these new royalist forces could arrive . The siege . The patriot forces surrounding Chillán consisted of some of their best soldiers , but the siege was to occur in the midst of winter and in a difficult location . Old Chillán was a city of 4 , 000 inhabitants , now increased to 9 , 000 with Sanchez ' s royalist forces . It was located on an easily defensible hill between the rivers " Paso Hondo " , " Maipón " and " Chillán " . By the time that Carrera arrived to take command of the siege , Joel Roberts Poinsett and Juan Mackenna had already compiled a plan showing the enemy fortifications and for the location of the artillery . Although the patriot troops were equipped with waterproof ponchos , the winter weather was so unpleasant and the patriot supplies so limited that Carrera was concerned about the timing of the campaign . The assault . As the days drew on , the patriot force began to suffer increasing numbers of deserters , and Carrera decided that a direct attack was needed before the entire patriot force disintegrated in the harsh winter conditions . The first attack , the battle of Maipón , occurred on August 3 , with the second attack following two days later . The assaults were marred by the massacre of many of the civilian inhabitants of Chillán and numerous atrocities . The assaults failed , however , to take the city , where the royalist forces held on staunchly . Aftermath . Carrera had taken many casualties during these assaults , with his casualties and men taken prisoner numbering more than 500 men . His militia cavalry and some of the infantry had fled altogether , and without food and ammunition it was not going to be possible to hold the city perimeter . The only choice was to raise the siege on August 10 and retreat to Quirihue and Concepción . The failure of the siege of Chillán would begin to undermine the credibility of Carrera in the eyes of the leadership in Santiago .
