Manuel Gamboa with two 24-lb, one 8-lb, three 4-lb. and one howitzer) to hold the hill. These forces also included about 200 cadets, some as young as 13 years old. Also defending the castle was the <a href="/wiki/Batall%C3%B3n_de_San_Blas" title="Batallón de San Blas">Batallón de San Blas</a> under the command of Lieutenant Colonel <a href="/wiki/Felipe_Santiago_Xicotencatl" class="mw-redirect" title="Felipe Santiago Xicotencatl">Felipe Xicoténcatl</a>, a hero of the battle, along with six cadets who died defending the castle. Thinking that the attack would come from the south, Santa Anna devoted preparation time and troops there, both before and during the bombardment. He did not realize his mistake until the U.S. troops were actually on the hill, but that was too late. </p><p>Chapultepec Castle was not built as a fortress but as a luxury residence for viceroy Matias de Calves, and was later converted to the military academy. It was strategically positioned with 1,600 yards long wall that was about 15 feet high. However, the stone walls were still vulnerable to cannon fire. U.S. forces used its heavy artillery to bombard the castle before the infantry attacked. The Mexican forces had attempted to fortify the defenses by digging shallow trenches and placing sandbags. During the artillery bombardment, the defenders had nowhere to shelter and they had no way to defend against this attack from a distance. Destruction of the walls, sandbags, and other defenses was demoralizing for many defenders, and some began abandoning their positions, less than half had deserted. Only when the bombardment went on all day did Santa Anna realize the main attack was to be on Chapultepec. If he sent forces there, they would be exposed to U.S. fire in the flat land below the hill, and they could not reach the hill to help the defenders there during the bombardment. Santa Anna consulted with Nicolás Bravo, confessing to him that many of his demoralized troops were also likely to melt away if sent into a situation that would have high casualties.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Scott organized two storming parties of about 250 men each, including 40 Marines.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Bauer_2-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bauer-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 313">: 313 </span></sup> The first party consisted of Captain Samuel Mackenzie's 256 men from <a href="/wiki/Gideon_Pillow" class="mw-redirect" title="Gideon Pillow">Gideon Pillow</a>'s division, who would advance from the Molino east up the hill.<sup id="cite_ref-Bauer_2-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bauer-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 313">: 313 </span></sup> The second storming party consisted of Captain <a href="/wiki/Silas_Casey" title="Silas Casey">Silas Casey</a>'s men from <a href="/wiki/John_A._Quitman" title="John A.
