The knights prepared their lances and charged directly at the lines of footmen trying to stop them, their projectiles did barely anything, they could only take a couple off of knights and as it was proven later any resistance the foot soldiers tried to muster was completely useless, their bodies crumbled beneath the hoofs of their steeds, their chests trampled and their heads smashed, their blood flowing in the streets, meanwhile the bells were ringing giving the scene a grim symphony, the rest of the royalist continued trying to block the advance of the knights in the streets but it was futile, even when they brought a few of them down the rest just march over them and crush the royalists, but once the initial shock was over the same could be said about the advantage the rebels had, their advance became increasingly more difficult and proving that they weren't a heard of headless chickens the loyalist used blockades to trap the knights and then the archers that were on top of the roofs would unleash a flurry of arrows upon them, the knights, of course, would try to block them but then their enemies will come from the alleys and attack them while they were distracted.
