The battle of Otumba.
This was fought and won entirely hand-to-hand, with cold steel. A few horsemen, however, were decisive. The Aztecs hadn’t figured out, yet, how to deal with cavalry.
The conquistadors did not win with high tech, this is rarely understood. They had only a very marginal technological advantage.

The leftward, diagonally-leftward leaning banana thing with the poofy indian headdress on top, some God thing.

You can tell I'm an expert, right?
