(Basing this on the proximity aswell as the fact Moonmont was in the area in where they would recieve attacks from Fort Winter)

~10th of Hearthfire

The leader of Moonmont considered the possibilities and their inclinations. The army was able to take them should they resist to much aswell as the fact that a bigger army could come considering they proximity to Fort Winter.

The man sighed as he attempted to negotiate better deals for his people ´´I understand this will provide us with the protection from the kind who dwell in Fort Winter correct? Still I must ask how many mothers and fathers would you take? how many sons and daughters do you want?´´

(Basing there numbers on the fact they were able to bully a place like Monmont in giving resources without to much of a fight theres atleast 250, if not 300 mercenaries)

Fort Winter

275 Mercenaries fought against the army, due to the their large amount of food they would not be inclined to surrender in a haste note, the dugging in of troops around them would prove troublesome but using their superior location they would return fire at the archers, even if outnumbered they were mercenaries and were capable of carrying out sieges and resisting them.

They more mercenaries that were killed, the longer the food would last however due to the much larger numbers of the enemy forces they would be able to hold the Fort until their numbers dropped below 200, the holding of the Fort would lead into a death ratio of 3:2 for the mercenaries despite their natural advantege the larger numbers meant a hail of arrow would cut down those who fought against the army.

(It would take roughly 3 weeks for there numbers to be low enough for them to not hold the fort however it would still be a risky endavor in my opinion to charge it. I say this so later you wont say I layed out a trap)
