El Degüello is a bugle call, notable in the US for its use as a march by Mexican Army buglers during the 1836 Siege and Battle of the Alamo to signal that the defenders of the garrison would receive no quarter from the attacking Mexican Army under the command of
General Antonio López de Santa Anna.
"Degüello" is a Spanish noun originating from the verb "degollar", which refers to the action of throat-cutting. More figuratively, the term translates in English as "to order complete destruction of the enemy without mercy" 🎺
