(Is he at the castle walls or the city's walls?)

The Bouchards approached the gatehouse and brought a battering ram against the gates.

The guards threw large rocks down at them, catching a few soldiers and killing them. Though the gate was subcoming to the ram.

It was a large wooden gate with iron reinforcements. The city's older gate, a much more sturdy one, had been destroyed by King Julien during his assault on the city the year prior. It had been replaced with this weaker, newer one during his stay.

"Into the gatehouse sides. When they break into it we'll pelt them with arrows!" One guard said. They rushed down the stairs to the two side rooms of the gatehouse, with arrow slits to fire into the main entrance of the city.

"The murder holes! Open the murder holes!" Another guard yelled and they took the coverings off the holes that led down into the gatehouse, to drop rocks directly into it.

The Bouchards soon broke through the outer gate and stormed the gatehouse. Though inside they were trapped in a death box. From above rocks fell down on them and from the sides arrows were shot at them.

Initially they suffered a number of casualties, before Rallaume yelled. "Shield walls! Cover the top and the flanks!"

The Bouchards raised their tower shields and put them together, forming a turtle like shell around the men inside the gatehouse. The battering ram was right in the center and it began hitting the inner gate.

This gate was sturdier than the outer one, but it also wouldn't hold out for long.
