Never thought of that one. There were only a couple thousand of them, and they conquered practically an entire continent's-worth of indigenous peoples (but yes, with the aid of illnesses).
And indigenous allies. Though the conquistadors were able to achieve great victories, even when it was only Spanish troops involved. Such as the Battle of Cajamarca and Puna.
