　The advance troops rush toward the enemy. Soon a melee breaks out. Despite being on the defensive, Hasse's forces are quickly pushed back. Momentum plays a role in this kind of situation. The defenders think from the beginning that they cannot win. Then, they would not be able to win even if they could.
