Alma 56:23

For we knew in those cities they were not sufficiently strong to meet them;

therefore we were desirous, if they should pass by us,

to fall upon them in their rear,

and thus bring them up in the rear

at the same time they were met in the front.

We supposed that we could overpower them;

but behold, we were disappointed in this our desire.

Alma 56:52

And it came to pass that the Lamanites took courage, and began to pursue them;

and thus were the Lamanites pursuing them with great vigor

when Helaman came upon their rear with his two thousand,

and began to slay them exceedingly,

insomuch that the whole army of the Lamanites halted and turned upon Helaman.
