The thousand man strong cavalry in front of the Strongfort could not build enough momentum to sweep through the winter army which was fighting in the melee.
The two thousand strong cavalry which left strongfort yesterday night is supposed to come through two of the wide routes, one coming in from skull fort, another from white beach.
This way, the winter army would be surrounded on three sides, leading to complete annihilation. It has been Rogue's plan.
Both the thousand man strong cavalries located to the south east and north west in front of the strong fort started their gallop the moment they saw smoke.
In but one moment, they would rush to above the hill, then build more and more momentum as they rush down the smooth hill.
Only, the horse took a single step, then it's legs folded in.
The horse fell sideways along with its rider, then went sliding down a long icy slope.
