More than a few posts here have noted that Reno did not retreat; he attacked the weak point of his encirclement and broke out.
The clips linked below are from the movie "Ride With The Devil." They depict some young Missouri Guerrillas being encircled and breaking out. The breakout scene is split between the two clips. If you have a few minutes, start watching the first clip at about 4:20 for background and the breakout starts to occur at about 8:50. Utter chaos at the rupture point. The breakout is continued for about the first two minutes of the second clip.

Hectic, chaotic, and desperate. Not a pretty tactical maneuver was it?
But at the end of that I'd be tempted to say, "That was a charge, sir!"
