Cusco sent over 1,300 loyalist troops on November 18, 1780; Amaru's 40,000–60,000 followers were later repelled from fortified Cuzco by loyalist forces.
On November 18, 1780, Cusco dispatched more than 1,300 Spanish and Native loyalist troops against the insurgents. Amaru's gravest defeat came in his failure to take Cuzco, where 40,000–60,000 indigenous followers were repelled by the fortified town's combined force of loyalist Native troops and reinforcements from Lima. After being repelled from the former Inca capital, Amaru marched through the countryside recruiting natives and bolstering his forces.
