I don't think that we are in disagreement about much of this. My point is that the 'rampart' issue applies to his position in the defile and how the topography provided him with protection. It has nothing to do with how his camp may have been fortified. I am not suggesting for a minute that his camp was in the defile.
A side issue is whether he still had the civilians with him. We are told nothing about this. My guess is that he would have wished to leave them as soon as possible after he had got them away from the area of immediate danger. However, on this your guess is as good as mine. Alan may have some input on this.
