Battle of Ithilien

The Battle of Ithilien was a skirmish between the Rangers of Ithilien and a number of Haradrim warriors travelling up the Harad Road to the Black Gate to join Sauron's armies.
== Battle ==
The Haradrim were passing through Ithilien and were suddenly assailed at range. Hooded men, the Rangers of Ithilien, led by Faramir son of Denethor, were shooting at them from the thick cover. The Haradrim began to scatter as soon as the Rangers of Ithilien shot down their Mûmak. The Rangers pursued them until they had slain nearly all of the Haradrim. Some escaped, but were hunted down later that night. The Mûmak likely escaped. Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee watched the battle from a nearby wooded hill, before they were found and captured by the Rangers.The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, Book Four, Ch. IV: "Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit"
