Attack On the First Wall (Part-1)

Regarding Alexander's decision to launch an attack on the walls at night, some of the more inexperienced officers who did not know how Alexander worked tried to talk him out of it by showing him the obstacles.

One of them pointed out, "My lord, given today is a full moon, the enemy might be able to see us coming. But the soft light won't be enough to help our crossbowmen spot the enemy so far in the distance."

And other stepped up to say, 

"Yes, in the night, it is harder to see between friends and foes."

"This is not so much a problem on a battlefield with proper lines. But I'm afraid when scaling the walls, especially from multiple directions….we might not be able to see who is who."

"Even the crossbowmen on the wall might not know who is who."

But as it could be guessed Alexander did not pay much heed to these problems.

Since Alexander had decided the attack on the walls would occur, it would occur now.
