(They wouldn't be able to see much in dense forest.

So Sungard and Whiterun will end up going along the same road, right?

Two questions regarding the cavarly:

How many are there?

How can they go so fast? Horses are affected by rocks and trees and stuff a lot worse than infantry are. Hell, light infantry like the skirmishers would probably be able to outpace horses in forests and rocks, due to them being smaller and more agile.)

The archers nocked their arrows, and pulled back on the bowstring. When the horses got close (ten-ish metres), they released, aiming at the horses head. Those that weren't near to the charging horses ran over to support their comrades.

The arrows did some damage to the infantry, but because of their helmets and mail armour, most of the arrows were deflected at such a shallow angle.
