Spanish imperial allies recognised their strength, refused military aid, and ultimately an armistice was signed. The armistice, signed in November , was to last six months. However, it created a strong base for Bolivar to work from, greatly impacting the events of the Battle that would follow. His plan to invade Spanish-controlled areas of Venezuela ended the ceasefire completely. During the invasion, the troops employed deceptive tactics with the hopes of capturing Carabobo with ease.

Carabobo held strategic significance as it gave the Venezuelan patriots access to other regions of the country. The first deception included the marching of part of the patriot forces toward Caracas, a key Spanish stronghold. Some suggest there were soldiers, whilst others say they were men strong, with the aid of a British battalion. However, what is certain, is that the Royalist forces were greatly outnumbered.

Deception played another key role during the Battle of Carabobo. One group focused on the centre of the battle. The other was sent on a flanking manoeuvre to envelop the Spanish forces from the side. In response, General de la Torre also split his forces, sending a group to fight the flank. However, South America still had to see four more years of battles for that defeat to be complete. Morillo took his papers and gave command to Miguel de la Torre.

He sailed to Spain on December 17, and died in France many years after his nearly six-year-long adventure in America. Riego was then executed, the liberals persecuted and despotism ascended the throne again.
