After the massacre at Goliad, the Texan troops at Victoria on learning of the defeat of Fannin's troops quickly withdrew to join the scattered Texas bands at Gonzales and on the Colorado and Brazos Rivers, where they were eventually joined by most of the escapees.
After the victory at San Jacinto and the capture of the butcher of Fannin's men, Santa Anna, by the Texans, a member of the Mexican army, General Filisola was put in command of the defeated Mexican Army and began the famous "Filisola's Retreat" to Mexico, in accordance with the treaty between Houston and Santa Anna.
From here the Texans marched out in a detachment and captured Fort Lipantitlan, near the Nueces River on November 5, thereby cutting off the last remaining line of Mexican communication from San Antonio to Matamoros.
