Cadeyrn's men had arrived at the capital and began their heavy bombardment of the walls with catapults attempting to break through the eastern walls and kill the archers manning the walls. The rest of the Army stood waiting for their orders. Cadeyrn turned his head to the sound of the catapults unleashing volley after volley at the walls. The Battering Rams stood waiting for the order to rush to the gates and do their bit towards this epic battle.

The Britons were positioned to the east of the capital. The siege equipment was positioned nearest the the walls but out of the range of the archer that sat upon them and the heavy calvary were behind ready to push through any gap that opened up in the walls. Behind them were the Long-bowman that were could fire at any one brave enough to come near the Britons. The army was flanked and backed by the spear men that protected the army from any calvary attacking their flanks or rear. The rest of the men were inside the spearmen ready for their orders.
Cadeyrn spoke to his general and the general rode of the pass on the order to the men. The catapults moved their aim the gate house and started to batter them with a continuos barrage.

OOC: ... Erm... For starters, if you shoot at the men holding the battering ram, they will not hit as Cadeyrn didn't say they moved towards the gate, he said that; Ie. The catapults are shooting the gate(house), the battering ram is not doing anything. Also, the infantry are behind the catapults, which are; Ie. They are out of range of the archers, so your archers will be wasting arrows. Just thought I'd let you know...  |

The catapults smashed their projectiles into the gatehouse again and again and they would continue to do so until the gate house collapsed and the rams would be able to make short work of the gates. The rest of the army began to grow restless of the continuous waiting until the gates fall.

10,000 spearmen from each flank wheeled round to set up a defensive position in front of the catapults whilst the archer form a battle position behind them ready to shoot the charging calvary.
The first volley of 150,000 arrows fell on the charging horses.
