§2.26.1Caesar, cum VII. legionem, quae iuxta constiterat, item urgeri ab hoste vidisset, tribunos militum monuit ut paulatim sese legiones coniungerent et conversa signa in hostes inferrent.
Caesar, when he saw that the seventh legion, which had taken its position close by, was likewise hard pressed by the enemy, warned the military tribunes that the legions should gradually join together and, having turned their standards, advance against the enemy.
§2.26.2Quo facto cum aliis alii subsidium ferrent neque timerent ne aversi ab hoste circumvenirentur, audacius resistere ac fortius pugnare coeperunt.
When this was done, since they were bringing assistance to one another and did not fear that they would be surrounded by the enemy from behind, they began to resist more boldly and fight more courageously.
§2.26.3Interim milites legionum duarum quae in novissimo agmine praesidio impedimentis fuerant, proelio nuntiato, cursu incitato in summo colle ab hostibus conspiciebantur, §2.26.4et T. Labienus castris hostium potitus et ex loco superiore quae res in nostris castris gererentur conspicatus X. legionem subsidio nostris misit.
Meanwhile, the soldiers of the two legions which had been in the rear guard to protect the baggage, when the battle was reported, quickened their pace and were seen by the enemy on the top of the hill; and Titus Labienus, having gained possession of the enemy's camp and having observed from the higher ground what was going on in our camp, sent the tenth legion as a reinforcement to our men.
§2.26.5Qui cum ex equitum et calonum fuga quo in loco res esset quantoque in periculo et castra et legiones et imperator versaretur cognovissent, nihil ad celeritatem sibi reliqui fecerunt.
When they had learned from the flight of the horsemen and camp-followers in what position the state of affairs was, and in how great danger both the camp and the legions and the general were, they left nothing undone to make the utmost speed.
