((The walls are almost 5 meters tall, and yes, there are staircases leading atop the wall.))

"(1 vs 2) Tod and his housecarls hurry it up and make no efforts to hide themselves from the guards. (4 vs 4) a small squad of guards with longswords have proven to be challenging enough for the Norsemen, taking one of them down. The Norsemen win the skirmish, eventually, but it took a while for the guards on the walls to make their move towards the gates."

Amount of food: 199 (Each 80 men consume 11.2375 units of food per day/turn. In the current case, you have 899 troops, meaning that they should consume 12 units of food. However, I'll round the numbers down in the case of food consumption, with no exceptions to the rules.)

Hide in the town and kill anyone who finds our position. Fill a cart with random materials with one person hidden under them and hope the cart is let through. If this first attempt is successful, repeat with the other carts.

Right we climb the walls and make a rope from our belts and cloaks.
Failing that we fall back to a strong building, ideally the church and barricade our self's in side with hostages and wait for the rest of our army to arrive.

"(3) Tod and his housecarls make a makeshift rope from their belts and cloaks, but it proves itself to quite fragile, as Tod's the only one who has managed to climb onto the wall before the rope broke. The housecarls look upwards, focusing on their leader, waiting further orders. Meanwhile, the town guard has almost reached the gate lever."

1 turn left before the gates are closed. Talking will be considered free action, so housecarls' next move will still chronologically happen on this turn.

Tell the housecarls to get to the nearest place to get on top of the wall, while we fight any guards on top with us.

"(3 vs 3) The housecarls obey and immediately rush towards the nearby staircase, but the archers attempt to pin them down. The housecarls have mostly blocked the majority of arrows, but one of them gets an arrow deep into stomach and drops unconscious.

Slowly dragging the fallen comrade, housecarls reunite with their leader and are ready for a final push to stop the enemy from closing the gates. (4 vs 6) The Sardinians use their spears and wooden tower shields to defend themselves successfully from the Norsemen, managing to take out another housecarl, this time sending him to Valhalla."

You're at the lever room, and you're currently busy fighting the spearmen off. You hear a distant running of the town guard, which will close in and surround you in 2 turns. -1 housecarl.

If we have a signal that can be used to summon the rest of our guys we should use it now, but no matter what we should keep fighting and get out the gate.

"You tell one of the housecarls to send a hawk to Sigurd, back to your fleet, then (6 vs 2) you combine your efforts and parry the spearmen, leaving them open for decapitation strikes. With a several amount of them being dead, the Sardinian spearmen step back, letting a couple of your housecarls to work on the lever, while the rest of them keeps the spearmen on their foes with the constant barrage of axe strikes."

The gates are opened, the fleet will arrive in 4 turns, 1 turn until the rest of the town guard catches up with you.

But take your axe to the Gate Lever first. If we cut the lever off, the locals may not be able to close the gate and stop us from marching back in with our full contingent of raiders in four turns.
