27d. Defeats, overwhelms or overcomes? (4,4) MO?S ?O?N

mows down?

Thanks chrisg. But mow down means to kill. Does it also mean defeat?

That's why I put the "?"

Phrasal Verb:
mow down
1. To destroy in great numbers as if cutting down, as in battle.

From the free dictionary.

Thanks ginge and chrise. Now I am fully satisfied.
