Sending Hortensius with 4 cohorts to reinforce Murena, Sulla quickly returned to the right, bringing one cohort from Hortensius' force and another two from (presumably) the other reserve under Galba.[19] The Romans there were resisting well, and when Sulla arrived they broke through the Pontic line and pursued them towards the Cephissus river and mount Akontion.[21][22] The centre began advancing forward being led by Gabinius who was slaughtering the enemy troops.[1] Seeing that Murena on the opposite wing was also successful, Sulla ordered a general advance.
