They didn't have many artillery, only two catapults, but they had many mages and spellswords. When they were in range of the city they began firing. The artillery was disposed of quickly. The ballistae mounted on the walls took them both out almost immediately after they launched their respective payloads. The mages and spellswords didn't get far, either. The reinforced walls of Blacklight simply absorbed the blasts of fire and lightning shot by the mages.

The response from Blacklight was swift. From a secure, elevated position on top of the battlements, archers let loose volleys of arrows and mages rained down blasts of lightning  upon the infantry below. The ballistae, although meant for taking out enemy artillery, pitched in by firing bolts into the crowd, impaling swordsman and mage alike.
