“Behold the Armies of the Lamanites Had Followed Their Brethren into the Wilderness”

The last phrase of this verse would appear to indicate that the Lamanite attack came on the heels of the arrival of the people of Ammon. While somewhat proximate in time, there are nevertheless at least two years in between these events. See the discussion of chronology following verse 7 below.
