In such episode of May 21, in the naval combat of Punta Gruesa, Captain Carlos Condell, in command of the Covadonga, a wooden ship of little weight, managed to deceive the Peruvian cholos taking them to lower waters, with which he managed to run aground the Independencia, which was the most powerful armored ship after the Monitor Huáscar.

The Huascar, the only battleship that Peru had left, had great relevance after the combat, since through diverse raids it attacked smaller Chilean ships, without being able to be caught by the Chilean ships of greater power, which created a general uneasiness in the Chilean people. Finally the Blanco Encalada and the Lord Cochrane managed to enclose, torpedo and capture the monitor Huáscar, in the naval battle of Angamos, which was used in the rest of the maritime campaign by Chile and then preserved to this day as a museum.

Once the withdrawal and isolation of the montonero groups had been achieved, efforts were again concentrated on the lowlands, in 1882, which were under Peruvian administration. The North American influence and its interests in establishing a territory-enclave in Chimbote greatly hindered the solution to the conflict, a situation that was taken advantage of by Cholo Cáceres and his montoneros to restart rebel offensives.
