The Battle Starts (II)

More than two hundred arrows whistled through the sky and fell down like rain.

Swish~ Swish~…

Because the people running at the front were peasants in rags carrying the ladders and ropes; they were not able to defend themselves from the arrows. Almost half of the arrows hit their target, harvesting numerous lives at one time. The vanguard from the enemy side continued to fall down to never stand up again.

The death of these peasants didn't shake Cole's army. They had more than thousands of such people running towards the wall and a hundred was only a small part.  

Not to mention that behind them the 2000 soldiers of Jordan's regular army that were closely following them. They wouldn't just let the archers on the wall to continue shooting. In response, the archers on the ground side would shoot back so that the vanguard could place the ladders onto the wall quickly.
