Alma 56:40

Now they durst not turn to the right nor to the left lest they should be surrounded;

neither would I turn to the right nor to the left lest they should overtake me,

and we could not stand against them, but be slain,

and they would make their escape;

and thus we did flee all that day into the wilderness,

even until it was dark.

Alma 57:9

And it came to pass that we did camp round about the city for many nights;

but we did sleep upon our swords, and keep guards,

that the Lamanites could not come upon us by night and slay us,

which they attempted many times;

but as many times as they attempted this their blood was spilt.

And behold, when they had fled and we could not overtake them,

we took our march with speed towards the city Cumeni;

and behold, we did arrive in time

that we might assist our brethren in preserving the city.

Alma 58:1

And behold, now it came to pass that

our next object was to obtain the city of Manti;

but behold, there was no way

that we could lead them out of the city by our small bands.

For behold, they remembered that which we had hitherto done;

therefore we could not decoy them away from their strongholds.

Alma 58:6

And the Lamanites were sallying forth against us from time to time,

resolving by stratagem to destroy us;

nevertheless we could not come to battle with them,

because of their retreats and their strongholds.
