The Corsairs backtracked until the spears were only just visible. They moved away from the direction the spears were travelling in, and looked for an area of wall with no, or few, visible guards.

The infantry struggled to make progress or secure a foothold on the wall. After twenty minutes of fighting and head hurling, the infantry had suffered 113 casaulties, bringing their number to 569. The walls' defenders suffered 63 casualties from the infantry, and an additional 20 casualties from the archers.

The head hurling had a grevious effect on the infantry's morale, and their formation suffered as a result, with the infantry at the base of the ladders scattering in order to avoid getting shot at.

The deranged men on the wall, however, seemed perfectly at ease with the situation. If anything, they were fighting more ferociously.
