The heavy infantry charged at the town, with their shields raised. The nobles spearheaded the charge. The light infantry followed behind, whilst the archers rained arrows near the breach to deter people from grouping there, as did the mangonels. As soom as the nobles got near, they would stop firing. (First off, a horse can gallop at 30 mph, with short bursts even going as fast as 50 mph. But Skyrim's horses are breed for endurance, not speed, so they can maintain gallop much longer than regular horses. So the cavalry would've obviously arrived. Secondly they departed from Whiterun before your Jarl spoke to the Thane. So they've been travelling for a while.

The Falkreath archers and Magonels firing at the breach would hit their own men as that is where they are entering the town from.)

The archers on the wall fired down at the invading soldiers, however their shields being held above their heads stopped most of the arrows.

The shieldwall was a distance away from the breach. They had regrouped before the enemy charged in and was ready to hold back the invaders.

The warhorns were getting louder, their sound cutting through the sounds of the siege.
