The gate was a lost cause, that was certain. Bali watched the last of the regular fighters enter the mountain, and then saw the groups of Uruk Hai charging them from both sides. "Retreat! Into the mountain! Get inside before we are cut off!"
The group charged backwards, with several elves shooting arrows over their shoulders at the Uruks. Bali stood at the gate, slashing at anything the got close to him, until the last of his companions were inside. Eruantalon grabbed him and pulled the dwarf into the mountain, and the great stone doors slammed shut.
