Worth and John A. Quitman advance on Puebla, fifty miles (eighty kilometers) closer to Mexico City on May 14—15.
Expecting to encounter Santa Anna’s forces there, they find only two thousand cavalry, which they easily rout, and are pleasantly surprised by the decision of the town’s leaders and priests to open Puebla to the Americans.
