After a few moments, when it became evident that the charge had stopped, Luciun peered over the rubble to see what was happening. He saw the dismounted cavalry climbing the walls. He ordered his nobles and the two hundred heavy infantry at the rear of the formation to support the men on the walls, as well as two hundred skirmishers. They would be effective at fighting in such disordered circumstances. The heavy infantry left, although few in number, were defending a chokepoint, so their line wasn't very long, and they had polearms to fight anyone who came close. The mangonels had drawn back their arms and were ready to fire, should the enemy come close. In their way was to the wall was still 100 Great Cavalry and 450 warriors from Riverwood. They had made a shieldwall in the south of the town to block Falkreath from interfering in the wall.

The 300 dismounted cavalry headed up the watchtowers in the east and engaged the regular infantry which were already fighting the 150 Riverwood archers. Despite the condition of the dismounted cavalry with their numbers added to those of the archers they now outnumbered the Falkreath infantry, who were now being attacked from two fronts.
