battering

I feel some one breaking my bones and battering out my brains.

Deeper in the forest the battering of the rain was mitigated.

He charged the cattle around him, driving them back like a battering ram.

Then they kept on battering at him with their fists till he fell to the floor.

His face was not much the worse for its battering on the rocks.

The tortoise of the battering ram was constructed in the same way.

So saying, he ran forward and joined those who were battering at the doors.

The Indians were battering the hatch with their musket-butts.

But in spite of the battering she had received her position had not changed.

They fought up and down the cabin, battering each other's face.
