The name appears to be an invention. Some information is relevant to the history of the period, but I can't confirm specifics of the "battle". There are records of a pair of minor skirmishes on the way to Cuzco; that's about it. Praemonitus (talk) 04:53, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
Kim MacQuarrie's The Last Days of the Incas
According to this the Spaniards were led by Juan Pizarro and Hernando de Soto against the combined central and southern Inca armies. Hernando Pizarro had already left for Spain.
'The native warriors, “in the greatest numbers … came out against us with an enormous shout and much determination,” wrote Miguel de Estete. With their backs against the city and the experienced General Quisquis in charge, the northern army fought fiercely, driving the Spaniards back in an onslaught of sling-fired stones, arrows, and battering mace clubs. “They killed three of our horses, including my own, and that had cost me 1,600 castellanos,” wrote the notary Juan Ruiz de Arce, “and they wounded many Christians.”'
