Marius ubi ex nuntiis quae Ligus egerat cognovit, quamquam toto die intentos proelio Numidas habuerat, tum vero cohortatus milites et ipse extra vineas egressus, testudine acta succedere et simul hostem tormentis sagittariisque et funditoribus eminus terrere.
When Marius learned from messengers of the Ligurians success (although he had kept the Numidians intent upon the battle the entire day), then indeed he urged on his soldiers and personally emerged from the mantlets; after having his soldiers form the tortoise-shell defense, he advanced to the wall and simultaneously tried to terrify the enemy at long range with artillery, archers and slingers.
