The skirmishers quickly climbed up onto the rocks, losing all sense of order. They then drew their arrows, waiting until the cavalry was right on top of them, then fired just before the cavalry reached them, aiming at the horses' head. (The map isn't exactly like that. Remember that the world is 100 times larger.)

The soldiers engaged the shieldwall, after having reached it. Because of this the archers stopped firing, the officer had them aid the cavalry against the Skirmishers. They focused their fired on the remaining Skirmishers, which were at only half strength (I think they had 200 to begin with, right? So now it'd be around 100).

The cavalry suffered some casualties but were still near 250 strong. They circled back to do another run towards the Skirmishers on the other side of the valley.

Sungard's army had reached the fork. They were 50 or so yards from the shieldwall and heading to aid Whiterun.
