We ran to occupy the walls. The Huns gathered at the northern side. First they were just few, but new hordes arrived constantly. This went on for the whole day. When the night began to fall the Huns heaped wood they had brought along and set it on fire. The whole northern side was bright. Then Hun cavalry galloped to our walls. Only small groups, though, they lavished us with arrows. Our defenders took cover. For hours and hours the Huns received reenforcements and made their attacks. We had no casualties. I knew that this was just the foreplay. Maybe the Huns wanted to scare us or wanted to keep us awake.

Around midnight I decided to work a curcuit. I wanted to inspect the other sections and talk with the guard. When I reached the southern gate I saw that it was open and that horsemen were entering the city. At first I thought that this was our reenforcement. Second view told me that the cavalry was tartarian. A small but endless stream of Huns entered our city and was soaked up in the streets.

I wanted to shout and alarm the guard. However, there was no one. The walls were deserted.There was no one to stop the Huns. The town was lost.
