"Se salieron a hacer su escuadron" in Spanish

Question

Hola!

I need help translating or at least understanding a Spanish sentence. It is from a letter written in 1527 regarding Spanish mutinous soldiers in Italy. Here it is, with a sentence or two before and after for relative context. I highlighted the parts which I could not decipher:

"... y en la hora que era en anocheciendo se amotinaron los espanoles y vinieron pidiendo pagas a casa del Duque de Borbon el cual, por dexar pasar la furia de la gente, se fue a la casa de George Frenespergh. Los espanoles sin hacer otra cosa se salieron a hacer su escuadron y consulta al artilleria fuera de la tierra... Los alemanes... se salieron de la tierra y hicieron su escuadron y consulta con la artilleria de su cuartel."

As even the most minor details are important to me, I will be gratefull for any assistance in this matter...

Muchas gracias, Idan
