Inside the farm, Grabo, upon witnessing the situation, hurriedly dispatched the few soldiers he had left at his disposal. The pincer attack caught the rebel soldiers in a predicament. Just as the Romans were about to regroup and strengthen the farm's defenses, Hamilcar arrived in time with hundreds of men. Although they lacked weapons, these rebels, mostly thin and born of slaves, harbored hatred against the Romans. They charged with their bodies, pounded with their fists, and even bit with their teeth, appearing grotesque and frenzied.
The Roman soldiers collapsed completely amidst the screams.
"Fight your way in! Follow me into the farm!..." Hamilcar shouted, brandishing his sword high.
The Roman soldiers inside the farm, wanting to close the doors, were too late. First, the routed soldiers fled inside. The soldiers hesitated, failing to stab these comrades with their short swords in time, and were quickly thrown into disarray, disrupting the thin defensive array.
