Their main mission was to collect the revolutionary tax from any passerby, which led  them to the vicinity of Miranda de Ebro. In an ambush, while advancing slowly through rye fields, they were surprised by a volley of gunfire that wiped out most of them. Only one, badly wounded, tried to reach the waters of the Ebro River, where he disappeared forever.
