(I wrote previously that when the main body of Kvatch's army went to the edge lf the city, they sent a quarter lf their army into the gatehouse.)

20th of Hearthfire

Most fire balls were as large or larger than the murder holes they were aimed through, so they clipped the edges of them. The resultant explosion was not enough to destroy solid stone, but some or the explosion hit the guards, injuring them. It had the unfortunate side effect of heating up or setting alight projectiles passing through, making them more dangerous.

The wall of frost needed something to freeze, and there wasn't a lot of moisture in the air. As a result, projectiles passed through before the wall was properly frozen, so it couldn't form quickly enough to block projectiles.

The reduced number of men in the towers made it slightly easier to push forward, as occasionally the soldiers would get lucky and kill several men in relatively quick succession. This meant the stairwells were unguarded for a short while and the soldiers could move forward. They were nearly at the walls.
