I don't think so, burra. The previous paragraph describes the decimation of the remnant of Hurin and Huor's forces until only Hurin remained "as the sun westered on the sixth day".

It may sound outrageous to think that Hurin fought all day, hacked trolls through the night, then kept on chopping orcs through a good part of the next day, but reading the description of the Fifth Battle, one gets the impression that the fighting went on virtually nonstop from at least the fourth day. Remember too that Morgoth had given orders that Hurin was to be taken alive.
