In August 1536, some 50,000 warriors marched on Lima under the command of Manco Inca’s most valiant general, Quizo Yupanqui, with orders to kill every Spaniard in the newly founded capital. The siege failed and Quizo, the Inca general died, and the Inca army retreated. Francisco Pizzarro would mount a relief of the Siege of Cuzco.
