In other words, many ghosts were generated to join the fight, and thus new trunks appeared on the battlefield.
SB 8.10.40, Translation and Purport:

Many headless trunks were generated on that battlefield. With weapons in their arms, those ghostly trunks, which could see with the eyes in the fallen heads, attacked the enemy soldiers.
