With great swiftness 30,000 men moved towards the Lonely Mountain. most were men from Rhun but some where from Harad which had already been taken. They moved quickly and soon attacked the gates of the dwarves and the fighting was fierce. The men brought up huge rams to batter the gates with and two oliphants were on the field. The dwarves fought bravely but were greatly outnumbered

Soon, their allies, the Men of Dale, came and aided them. The figting was fierce outside the mountain and inside, but they could not stop the rams. Again they crashed.

(I do not know how long this thread has been here so I hope I am still owning the mountain. I lost internet acctivaty. but am back now.)
After sending a small force out of the gates to slow the initial force the dwarfs barricaded the gates. They prepared by arrows slits and all through the great halls. If the enemy came through the gate with foot soldiers it would be there end. "Archers!" Brokk yelled to the dwarfs by the slits. "Fire at will!" (yes there was a slight pun intended. Look at turin's avie)
