During the 12 day siege there were artillery exchanges on eight of the days including Mexican firing at night to deny the Texans of sleep. There were minor probes, feints and skrimishes by Mexican Cavalry and Infantry on at least three days, but there was only one major battle which was on 6 March and which lasted for one hour with all of the defenders killed by 0630 in the morning.
