"Once more! Onto the barricades! Don't give them an inch! This is your home, these are your families, and the only thing standing in their way is you! Word from Argoss is that his cavalry will be here soon, so we need to hold out a little longer! This is almost over! Now get on that barricade, once more!"

Orders: Cromwell doesn't try to push the enemy back anymore, but focuses on keeping a stalemate while holding as many of his people alive as possible. If they are too strong to push away, going all defensive is the best option - certainly with reinforcements incoming.

"M`Lord the walls are ours!" One of his soldiers declared. "We killed many and they fled into the city, m`lord!" Captain obvious, Gawaren thought. Yet he smiled and answered "You did a great job. Give me some minutes, i have to think. Assemble the soldiers." The soldier bowed and left.

Gawaren was sitting in a empty guard house, drinking from a stolen wineskin. His only company was the corpse of some guard, lying to his feet in a pool of blood, his eyes staring at Gawaren.
"Hey, don`t look at me like this. It`s not my fault that your commanders were incompetent. Here, have some wine." He said to the dead man, tossing the wineskin to the ground. The corpse didn`t seem to be thirsty, though, and shunned the wine.

It wasn`t the only man, who would never taste a drop of wine again. Gawaren and his men had quenched the thirst of many a brave man today; With blood.

The trap worked well. The city garrison had attacked them at night, hoping to scare that little band of mercenaries away.. But the band wasn`t so little, for many were hidden,  and in the darkness they coulnd`t see how the hidden soldiers left the tents and took them from behind and in the flank. They routed soon, and fled into the city.. Followed by Gawarens men. And now the walls were his.

He stood up and went outside.

"My brave men! They might have doubted our courage after they repelled our first attack, but now we showed them how brave we are. And now we hold the walls. God be good, we hold the bloody walls! Now they are trapped and frightened and weep like women while you stand here, tall and proud, doused in blood and glory. Now let us complete our work, brave men! Let`s take this city from the heathens and bring peace to the land and gold into our pockets.- Deus vult!" And his soldiers echoed "God wills it!"

Gawaren orders his men to continue to kill the the defenders. Everyone who throws down his sword will be spared. Any archers among my soldiers shall man the walls and kill any saracen soldier they see in the street.

Bayard glanced behind him. It was interesting, how the confidence of the veterans seemed to be comforting the newcomers. Apparently they'd fought with this Cromwell's forces to great effect before, and so looked to the coming battle with little concern. A good way to break in the new troops, he supposed.

Argoss, however, was still concerned about arriving in time. He wondered if the Saracens would be able to use the city's wall against them, but didn't think it would ultimately matter. Once they arrived, the Saracens would be defeated, of that much he was certain. Strength wouldn't matter much if they were too late to use it, though, and he found himself hoping Cromwell's forces could hold out just a bit longer.

Orders: All forces advance south, assaulting the Saracens and aiding Cromwell's forces.

Come on, you piece of junk, work already!

Run the fuckers down!
-Harkon regarding the retreating Saracens

All the knight's horses and all the knight's men chases the Saracens. It could be a trap- but that is a risk Harkon is willing to take. Far better to take advantage now that the enemy's morale is low and take them out with a cavalry charge than to give them a chance to regroup on the basis that the leaderless slobs might actually be using strategy. Harkon will lead the charge. Because why not.


To be clear: All three units, attack the retreating Saracens.
