Francisco (Pancho) Villa was repulsed at Chihuahua but days later circled north to capture Ciudad Juárez before marching south again. Thirty miles north of Chihuahua, on the sandy plains of the Tierra Blanca, he decisively defeated a large Federal army. Chihuahua was then evacuated and Generals Pascual Orozco and José Inez Salazar withdrew northeast to Ojinaga.
