The enemy's cavalry, after the first encounter, had formed again behind the infantry, who were covered by a line of carts; but the firmness and resolution of the Republicans, now marching on in a close body and in silence, intimidated them so much that they made but little resistance.
Garibaldi observes how the disciplined and silent advance of his Republican troops instilled fear in the enemy, leading to minimal resistance.

More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
On a strong and wholesome education of the people depend the liberty and greatness of Italy.
You have conquered, and you will conquer, because you are now trained to the tactics which decide battles.
To arms all!—all!—and the oppressors, the supremely powerful, shall be turned into dust.
You who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.
