(I figured they would have made their way through a warehouse or something to take a route which went around the fire. The idea was that there would be no fire behind Riften's forces, so they would just go backwards a little bit in order to take a route which avoids the fire.)

23rd of Sun's Dawn

The ambushed force was heavy infantry, which meant they were well prepared for close-quarters combat. Since they had managed to maintain something of a formation, they absorbed the force of the charge. They were hemmed in a little, but the charging force, who had been expecting Riften's soldiers to give way a little more, were disordered and their rear ranks had crashed into their front ranks, hemming them in as well. Salma, who was leading the infantry, blew the war horn. Whilst it was impossible for more infantry to join the fight in the streets, the archers, who were equipped as light infantry, made their way through back alleys and houses in order to try and join the fight, though they would take a while to join the fray.
