(What baffles me is how you previously wrote that the wall were minimally guarded, with only a couple dozen people there. When the grappling soldiers attacked, there were a couple of survivors that shut themselves into the gatehouse. Now, all of a sudden there's 150 heavily armed warriors bursting out of the damn building. Tell me, how can I possibly take into account enemy soldiers that materialise from thin air?)

~20th of Hearthfire

The mages were just about fed up with the oil and projectiles that were hitting them despite realistically not be able to. In retaliation, they fired a number of Fireballs up the murder holes, which exploded on the ceiling above the guards or taking out anyone who was standing by the holes. This was followed by Walls of Frost which were put up within the murder holes, blocking the guards' means of attacking them.

The Imperium needed only three or four men at the stairs at one time anyway, as no more than that fitted on there at once. The others all awaited the soldiers that were appearing out of nowhere.
