(There are scattered trees on the road to the east of the fork. Though I confess, perhaps "forest" is a bit too much. Let's just say the archers dispersed among the rocks and trees and used them as cover.

The only way that Sungard's forces could reach Whiterun in a reasonable time frame is if the go along the road, so they wouldn't encircle the ambush anyway. They'd just be prepared for it.

Question: Did the scouts of Sungard scout the entire ambush, or just the western bit? There's no route to get to the eastern part of the forces without going along the road (there are steep rock faces around the woods they're hiding in), and they'd be spotted then.)

Sigmund's infantry fell back to the fork in the road, and they ran a little ways down the road so they occupied it. There was about fifty yards between the fork and where the infantry's shield wall was.

The skirmishers, now dispersed amongst the rocks on the flank of Whiterun, fired another volley, hitting the front of the column of march from to places at once.
