If it's through a mountain, they don't go over it. The road, largely, would negate rough terrain modifiers. As for the range... Fair enough.)

Luciun quickly entered the shield wall before any of the arrows got him. Those behing shield wall raised their shields to the sky for protection. The archers entered a loose formation and found cover wherever they could, behind trees and such like, and did their best to return fire.

The ten mangonels began to fire upon the walls. (Actually without maintenance that is exactly what would happen to a road. But more to the point, a road in mountainous terrain would go up zigzagging the size of the mountains, so it would do little to make the journey faster. So roads don't negate rough terrain modifier.)

The town walls were protection enough for the archers, and they just kept firing down on the army, aiming behind the shieldwall as not all soldiers had shields.

The mangonels may shoot fast rounds but it would take many barrages to take down a part of the wall.

The Thane headed to where the warriors were stationed, ready to lead them should the wall break.
