Thus, Daugherty (1969: 117) postulated that the combined Pipil forces in both battles numbered a maximum of 25000 men. (...) Quiche, nor did he order his army to retreat even when he faced an enemy force reportedly numbering 30000. In contrast, the Pipil forces deployed against his army of 250 Spaniards and 5,000-6,000 native auxiliares in the battle of Acajutla were so numerous that Alvarado (1934: 279) ordered a retreat. It would seem therefore, that the Pipil troops in this battle numered at least 20,000.
