that the Lamanites should have any more strength;

therefore he thought to cut off the people of Amalickiah,

Alma 49:4

But behold, how great was their disappointment;

for behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them,

their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect,

neither could they come upon them

save it was by their place of entrance.

Now when they found

that they could not obtain power over the Nephites by the pass,

they began to dig down their banks of earth

that they might obtain a pass to their armies,

that they might have an equal chance to fight;

by the stones and arrows which were thrown at them;

and instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth,

they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.
