Ergo spreto regis imperio'quod fere fit, ubi turbatis acrius metus quam dux imperare coepit'totidem erant  imperatores quot agmina errabant; alius iungere aciem, alius dividere, stare quidam et nonnulli circumvehi terga hostium iubebant; nihil in medium  consulebatur.
Therefore, disregarding the kings order'which generally happens when it is fear rather than a leader that begins to issue the sharper commands to men who are in great confusion'there were as many commanders as there were  scattered bands; one was giving orders to unite the line of battle, another to divide it, some to stand fast, and others to envelop the enemy from behind;  there was no general plan of action.
