Bernardo O'Higgins and his patriot forces made a desperate last stand in the town of Rancagua against royalist forces. Surrounded and outnumbered, the patriots fought from barricades in the central plaza for two days before O'Higgins led a daring breakout. The defeat ended the Patria Vieja period and forced the patriots into exile in Argentina.
