Luciun's infantry charged at the cavalry, with the archers following close behind. As the cavalry reached the shield wall, Luciun's archers fired in the rear of the enemy, whilst the infantry charged at the shield wall to encircle it.

The archers behind the phalanx looked for an alternate passage up the walls to aid the infantry. They were becoming desperate, and fighting to the death, but the narrow frontage on the wall made the killing slow. (They outnumber your heavy infantry 4 to 1, it wouldn't be that difficult.)

The cavalry was much faster than the infantry and could run circles around them to escape their charge.

The Riverwood warriors broke the central ranks of the phalanx and were in the middle of breaking through the rest when Luciun's men arrived. They had managed to kill roughly 30 of the 100 heavy infantry and only suffered about the same casualties before Luciun's men arrived. So the battle on the street was now 70 Heavy infantry left in the phalanx then the 420 warriors from Riverwood and then Luciun's 425 men. The 40 great cavalry were there but they had escaped being stuck in the skirmish.

Seeing that Riverwood's men were in trouble the Housecarl yelled for some of the dismounted cavalry to head down and aid them. 100 of the Dismounted Cavalry went down the Watchtowers and engaged Luciun's men along with the Great Cavalry. So while they were attacking Riverwood's 420 warriors on the west they were being attacked by another 140 of Whiterun's men from the south. (So battle stats on the street. 495 Falkreath soldiers, plus 200 archers, vs. 560 of Whiterun/Riverwood's men.)

On the wall 110 archers and 155 Dismounted cavalry were still fighting the Falkreath infantry, who's numbers were now down to 140 and continued to drop.

The Falkreath archers couldn't see any other passage, as the fighting had engulfed the street and at the base of the watchtower the dismounted cavalry had used to go up to the wall.
