You'd have to go through the road to fight my forces, the same road that Whiterun's forces are advancing on. Also, 3:2 is not nearly 4:2.)

The shieldwall of the infantry protected them, mostly. Only ten casualties were suffered. The archers moved around the forces of Whiterun in the forest, keeping their distance. (Your army is southeast of Sungard. Thus Sungard's forces are coming from the west, which is on the opposite side that Whiterun's forces are coming from. Thus you'd be attacked from both sides. You don't have exactly 1200 soldiers, so it isn't exactly 3:2. Besides it is better to write 'almost 2 to 1' than 'a bit more than 3 to 2'. It is easier to picture 2 to 1 than 3 to 2.

They already entered the Reach, so there are mountains on one side of the road and mountains on the other. I have no clue where the 'forests' you are talking about are coming from. There are no forests in the Reach, at least not in that part. Just hills and mountains. They are far too north to be in the forests of Falkreath. Remember that the world is about 100 times larger than in Skyrim, so the forests would be days south of Sungard, which isn't where we are. We are right next to Sungard.)

Whiterun's army continued to advance, with the formation that they were using they suffered almost no casualties as the soldiers in the front lines protected those behind them with their shields.

"I wish we had a more open area." The Jarl muttered. "Then we could use our cavalry."

"Sadly that isn't possible." One of the officers said.

At the rate they were moving they'd reach the fork on the road, where it split into two, one continuing west and another heading south, soon.

Sungard's force descended from the hills of Sungard and started heading eastward on the road. "I think we can reach there in time." The officer said.

"Hopefully we can, or Whiterun's force will be ambushed." The Thane said. The army hurried to reach the fork on the road.
