Umayyad troops who had broken into the square had tried to kill Charles, but his liege men surrounded him and would not be broken.
The battle was still in flux when — Frankish histories claim — a rumor went through the Umayyad army that Frankish scouts threatened the booty that they had taken from Bordeaux.
Some of the Umayyad troops at once broke off the battle and returned to camp to secure their loot.
According to Muslim accounts of the battle, in the midst of the fighting on the second day ( Frankish accounts have the battle lasting one day only ), scouts from the Franks sent by Charles began to raid the camp and supply train ( including slaves and other plunder ).
