Sometimes the forces of Pa-kur drove the warriors of Ar back to the very walls of the city, forcing them through the gates. Sometimes the forces of Ar would drive the men of Pa-kur back against the defensive stakes, and once they drove them to take refuge across the now constructed siege bridges spanning the great ditch. Still, there was little doubt that Pa-kur's men had the best of things. The human resources on which Pa-kur could draw seemed inexhaustible, and, as important, he had at his command a considerable force of tharlarion cavalry, an arm almost lacking to the men of Ar. In these battles the skies would be filled with tarnsmen, from Ar and from the camp, firing into the massed warriors below, engaging one another in savage duels hundreds of feet in the air. But gradually the tarnsmen of Ar were diminished, overwhelmed by the superior forces which Pa-kur could, with ruthless liberality, throw against them. On the ninth day of the siege the sky belonged to Pa-kur, and the forces of Ar no longer emerged from the great gate. - (Tarnsman of Gor, Chapter )
