THE ONSLAUGHT WAS RABID, THE DEFENSE DESPERATE, AND THE SHOCK HORRIBLE. Let's go in parts, THE EMBESTIDA WAS RABIOSA, qualifies an attack (of an army, a bull, etc. ) made with great impetus, with a lot of anger, uncontrollably. THE DESPERATE DEFENSE, indicates that the attack defended itself as possible, with fewer resources than necessary to respond adequately to the attack THE HORRIBLE SHOCK indicates that the damage caused by the cdolsion of the parties was enormous, very important.
