Detailed explanation-1: -The Spanish army continued to press, killing many of the fleeing soldiers. Most of the remainder were captured and, in a portent of the future Texas War of Independence, were summarily executed. Fewer than 100 out of 1, 400 soldiers on the Republican side survived, and the Royalists lost only 55 men.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the battle of Medina, the Spanish royalists defeated the Mexican republicans and filibusters. Most of the survivors went back to Louisiana. The royalists won, but the Gutierrez-Magee expedition caused so much interest in Texas that peace could not be restored.
Detailed explanation-3: -After a furious four-hour battle involving infantry, cavalry, and artillery, the republicans broke ranks and ran. Most of those not killed on the battlefield were caught and executed during the retreat. The republicans were decimated. Less than 100 were able to escape alive.
