As Perseus's men tried to escape the city, unfortunately, they found themselves blocked at the gates by the very force that was sent to relieve them.
One side wanted to rush in to help the besieged men, while the besieged men wanted to rush out to try and avoid the encirclement.
And thus the two sides unfortunately crashed into each other, right in narrow single laned streets.
And then as it could be guessed chaos ensued.
"Move! Let me through!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Aghh! Don't! I.. I can't breathe."
"Stop pushing you fuckers!"
It was as such, with both sides trying to get to their destination at the same time that they found themselves deadlocked.
And then desperate, they shoved, pushed, and even stabbed each other to try and escape.
All of which of course did nothing other than to claim a few needless lives, as the congested streets proved to be too potent a choke point for anyone to reliably escape.
