You Pursue . . .

Soldiers retreat from Peno Creek south up the hill along their road while a small group stops among rocks to the north and, with rapid fire, slows the attack and causes many casualties. The remaining soldiers fall back to this area and form lines on both sides of the hill as the attack comes from the draws to the west and from behind the brush and crest to the east. As the soldiers are surrounded, some break for the hill to the south and others release their horses, while pursuing warriors chase the escaping soldiers, go after the horses, or continue fighting here. During the pursuit, arrows fly at the soldiers from both sides and sometimes strike other warriors, and the chase goes over the hill where the soldiers join others, are surrounded again, and the battle nears its end.
