After the cavalry had charged, Luciun and his men surged forward, swamping the cavalry. They kept low, focusing on killing the horses and then killing the horsemen when they were defenceless on the ground. They held their shield up to block strikes from the horsemen. Because the infantry kept low, the archers had a clear line of fire at the cavalry, which they exploited.

The infantry atop the wall continued to press the assualt against the archers. Because many of the archers had died before the cavalry got into the fight, their lines were thinning.

The phalanx continued to hold their position. They stabbed the odd man in the shield wall, but nothing much was happening. The archers, realising their shots were having no effect, fired at the archers upon the wall. (How is your army split up now? How many men are in the phalanx and how many are with Luciun? You had About 400 archers, 350 heavy infantry, 100 of which are nobles, 300 regular infantry and 30 engineers before. The regular infantry is busy on the wall so you only had 780 soldiers to slit between those two forces.)

The Great Cavalry suffered 20 casualties from the assault but they still had 70 men. In their first attack they had killed nearly 30 Falkreath soldiers. The Housecarl ordered his men to disengage and regroup away from Falkreath's men. They Great Cavalry threw their horses into a quick gallop and rushed past Luciun's soldiers. This caused them to trample half a dozen enemy soldiers. The Housecarl had them regroup a block away, with buildings coving them so the archers couldn't fire on them. When they were regrouped they readied for another charge and circled around the building, charging at Luciun's men once again.

There were still about 140 archers left on the wall, and with the dismounted cavalry aiding them from the east they were now making quick work of the infantry. Of the 300 infantry that had initially went up on the walls only about 200 were left and their numbers were continuing to dwindle rapidly. The dismounted cavalry were also suffering casualties but they still had about 280 soldiers on the walls.

The shieldwall maintained, their only purpose was to hold Falkreath's men in place.
