Adverbial is a word, phrase or clause which modifies a verb. Adverbial can be noun phrase, prepositional phrase, clause etc..
1) in the early hours of the morning - (adverbial of time- when something happens)
2) in time (adverbial of time)
3) for four hours ( prepositional and time)
4) aside (adverbial of place)
5) every year (adverbial of time)

Samsuzzoha: 1. in the early hours of the morning modifies the verbs 'broke out'
Samsuzzoha: 2. Surprising peripheral, comment on the whole sentence.
Samsuzzoha: 3. for four hours modifies the verbs 'struggled' as its complement.
