Mormon 4:15-18

Brant Gardner

The change in the rules of warfare that allowed the Gadianton-infused Lamanites to take women and children captives to use as sacrifices understandably angered the Nephites. That anger led them to a fierce attack that temporarily pushed the Lamanites back. The victory didn’t last long. This time, the Lamanites arrived with such overwhelming force that the Nephites could not stand before them.
