This man narrowly escaped capture when his forces were decimated at Gauchi. One battle saw this man's forces capture Cuenca before clashing with the forces of Melchor Aymerich on muddy slopes. He liberated a city around Mount Pichincha through that battle. This man was requested to preside over the (*) Admirable Congress, and he was ousted by a revolt at Chiquisaca. General José María Obando was suspected to be complicit in his assassination. In his most famous victory, José María Córdoba routed enemy forces with a cavalry charge, and José de Canterac surrendered to him following the wounding of Royalist Viceroy José de la Serna. For 10 points, name this confidante of Simón Bolívar and victor at Ayacucho who lends his name to a Bolivian capital.
