I can't deny that killing a lot of trolls might take some time.... but the sun doesn't just plop beneath the horizon. Let's say 3-4 trolls a minute (I'm sure the rate was probably was higher...he was hackin' and stackin')... that's 15-20 minutes. Then they round him up and drag him off. The sun disappears at last. We have the natural progression of 'sunset' to 'Night fell.'
Perhaps that seems like a short time to compress all that action into. But its more likely than an entire night and day passing. See, the whole idea of Hurin battling in the dark means that an entire day (after the supposed night battle) must be missing from the account of the battle.
See! Look what you made me do! I can't stop!! <img src=smile.gif ALT="
