He barely survived and only fought to a draw, then he went back to Egypt after the ceasefire and made many monuments depicted a great victory.
A 'battle' that fought over a span of eight months is a campaign. A battle generally last a few days at most and is confined to a specific location. Most usually, one only last a couple of hours.
