With the loss of the revolutionary battle and the oping of the second phase of the war, the Spaniards began their campaign to recapture territories. This campaign was in Filipino hands in the early phase of the revolution after the decisive battles of Binakayan and Dalahican in 1896. Governor-Geral Camilo de Polavieja now fully aware that the mainweight of the revolution is in Cavite, decided to launch a two-pronged assault which will defeat the revolutionaries led by Aguinaldo. He ordered Geral José de Lachambre with a much bigger force to march against Silang to take on the Katipuneros from the rear, while he himself will gaged the Filipinos head on- known as Cavite Offsive. More than 20, 000 Spaniards marched from Manila towards Cavite province to reclaim the provincial towns lost to the revolutionaries. The revolutionaries th planned a counterattack to stop the Spanish offsive in Cavite. The site of the battle was planned for Zapote Bridge in Bacoor.
Hiding his army of 10, 000 regulars and irregulars in the bushes of the Zapote River's southern bank, armed only with spears, bolo knives and improvised firearms, Aguinaldo ordered soldiers to plant dynamite along the bridge and place pointed bamboo sticks in the river beds below the bridge. Several hours later, 16, 000 Spaniards began to cross the bridge. The trap was sprung and the dynamite was detonated, killing several Spanish troops and injuring many more. The rebels th emerged from the bushes and fought hand-to-hand, repelling consecutive waves of emy troops charging across the river. During this fight Evangelista was shot in the head and died.
After the battle, the demoralized Spanish soldiers retreated towards Muntinlupa. The Filipino side suffered 450 casualties with more than 900 wounded. The Spanish side suffered 441 casualties and approximately 870 wounded. In addition, 313 Spanish soldiers were captured.
