What is the meaning of "v'Yachlu Lecha"?

Malbim: You wanted to make peace with them, but they overpowered you - "Ein ha'Melech Yuchal Eschem Davar" (verse 5).
What is "Butz"?
Rashi: It is mud. This is like "ha'Yig'eh Gome b'Lo Vitzah" (Iyov 8:11) [Radak - and "Bitzosav u'Geva'av" (Yechezkel 47:11). Malbim - you were like one who sinks in quicksand; he cannot get out.
Why does it say "Nisogu Achor"?
Radak #1: Your legs could not go forward, and went back. This is a metaphor.
