(I don't get the statistical difference between 30 units of 40 or one massive unit of 1200. Since the defenders would need to split their forces into units of 26-27 pikemen for each ladder in order to defend. It's literately the same thing.)

~7th of Sun's Dawn, 4E 269

With the Bloodhorns leading the way, the Hegathe Infantry tried to push back the enemy in the gap that had been created. The elite soldiers were experts at close quarters combat and the enemy's pikes would be very difficult to use effectively in a small space like the battlements, a disadvantage that didn't apply to the Knights' dual swords. That combined with their skill with a blade was what they hoped would turn the tide of the fight on the walls.

The rest of the light infantry climbed up as well to aid the Bloodhorns in pushing back the 670 pikemen, bringing the number of Hegathe fighters to 856 infantrymen. The Light infantry used their sword and shields to fight defensively while aiding the Bloodhorns, whom fought solely offensively.

Seeing as skirmishes started on the walls, the 288 Light Cavalry retreated for now so as to not cause any friendly fire.

The 393 archers now switched their focus on the towers containing the 100 enemy archers. They maintained loose formation, but moved in closer so they could actually aim at the towers.

(Current Forces:

Craester's Arm: 670 pikemen, 100 Archers, 100 Unknown. 870 soldiers
