** Gandalf arrives with the Rohirrim

Soon, a huge force of Saruman's Uruk-hai arrive and surround the hold. The attack begins and the hold stands until a hole is blasted in the wall. Outlying positions are overrun and Haldir falls. King Theoden orders that they fall back into the fortress itself. He begins to despair, but Aragorn suggests one last charge out of the Hornburg. As they charge out, Gandalf arrives with Eomer.
