Second Battle of Saero

The second battle of Saero, logically, followed the first battle of Saero, in the Spring of year 250, Imperial era. It was part of the Dwarven Uprising.
No talk of surrender or bending the knee was witnessed at the second battle of Saero. Vastly outnumbered, the majority of Saero's population fled south to Ureloth as the armies of Hadvar "Horsebreak" Wulfing drew up their battle lines.
The battle that followed was a fairly brief affair, though no less bloody for it. After a brief exchange of arrows that demonstrated the extent to which the Dwarves were outnumbered, when arrows were returned in numbers more than four times greater, the Imperial forces moved against the walls of Saero. The gate fell quickly, as did the walls, through sheer numbers, and within moments the large part of the Dwarven forces, mere miners armed as best as they could be, broke. In the streets of Saero, they were run down by cavalrymen who now flooded into the town.
It took only a few more moments before the main part of the town fell entirely. With the majority of the dwarven force lost, the Sworn Axes and Bows of Ureloth, those that remain, fell back to the keep, which they defended as best as they could. It was not enough, however, and after what even knights in the Duke's army called a "valiant" struggle, they fell to the man, all slain. The town of Saero returned to Imperial hands.
