In this extremity, the only refuge of Caesars men was to ply the enemy with stones; but these were prevented from doing much execution by the osiers with which the Pompeians had bound their helmets. At the same time the troops that came by sea assailed the exterior rampart, and soon discovering the defect in the lines, landed their men between the two ramparts, where the line of communication towards the sea remained unfinished; and thus, attacking in the rear the soldiers that defended them, they obliged them to withdraw from both. Marcellinus, apprised of this disorder, detached some cohorts to sustain the flying troops: but, as the route was become general, they could neither persuade them to rally, nor were able themselves to withstand the enemys charge. The more supplies he sent, the greater confusion was created, and the means of escape became more difficult.
